Industrial drones & UAV systems

The sky, put to work.

Aloft Aerial Systems designs and manufactures multirotor and VTOL platforms — with cameras, ground software and export support built in — for enterprise fleets flying agriculture, mapping, inspection and delivery missions in 60+ countries.

Countries with active fleets

Platform families

Four platforms. One flight stack.

Every Aloft airframe shares the same flight controller, battery system and AloftPilot ground software — so pilots train once, spares pool small, and your fleet grows without retraining.

Agriculture

AX-16 Fieldhand

A 16-litre smart spray tank, dual atomising nozzles and terrain-follow radar cover up to 24 hectares per hour with centimetre-level swath repeatability.

Mapping & survey

AV-2 Surveyor

A VTOL fixed-wing that launches from a courtyard and maps 12 km² per flight — full-frame 61 MP mechanical shutter with PPK delivers 1.2 cm GSD without ground control points.

Inspection

AQ-8 Lookout

48 MP with 32× hybrid zoom plus a 640 × 512 radiometric thermal core on one 3-axis gimbal — read a bolt head from 40 metres, in wind your crews will not climb in.

Delivery

AD-5 Courier

An 8 kg payload bay with winch release flies fixed corridors up to 12 km under full geo-fence control, with automatic return-to-home and drop-point logging.

Camera & gimbal technology

Optics that hold still at 15 m/s.

Our gimbals and camera cores are designed together, in-house, and tuned on the same airframes they ship on. That is why the data holds up when the wind does not.

  • ±0.005° stabilisation across three axes — sharp at full zoom, even in gusts
  • 48 MP 1-inch CMOS with mechanical shutter for mapping-grade stills
  • 640 × 512 radiometric thermal core with isotherm alarms
  • Quick-swap payload mount — change cameras in under a minute, no tools

Three payload options — zoom, mapping, thermal duo

42 min smart batteries — 500-cycle service life

AloftPilot ground station

One screen from mission plan to landing.

AloftPilot ships free with every aircraft and runs the whole operation — planning, flying, logging and fleet health — in one place your pilots already know.

  • Draw a boundary and AloftPilot writes the flight — lawnmower, corridor or orbit
  • RTK / PPK positioning down to 1.2 cm with network or base-station corrections
  • Terrain-follow from onboard radar and 1 m elevation tiles
  • Fleet sync for batteries, firmware and flight logs across 12 aircraft
  • Open SDK and MAVLink-compatible API for your own workflows

SkyLink 3 transmission — 15 km range, AES-256 encryption, dual-band failover

Ground-station software interface with live map, dotted flight path and telemetry panels

Compliance & certification

Certified for the markets you fly in.

Every export batch leaves with the paperwork your regulator and freight forwarder will ask for — no chasing documents at customs.

CE RED

FCC Part 15

UN38.3 Batteries

IP45 Ingress

ISO 9001:2015

Remote ID Ready

Geo-fencing and Remote ID firmware are configured for your destination region before packing. UN38.3 test summaries and MSDS travel with every battery shipment.

Enterprise fleet program

A fleet program that scales with your season.

Buying aircraft is easy. Keeping twenty of them flying through a spray season is the hard part — so that is what the program is built around.

Volume pricing & spares pool

Tiered pricing from five units. A shared spares pool at your hub keeps fleet availability above 95% through the season.

Operator training academy

A three-day certification course for pilots and maintainers — flight hours, failure drills and log discipline, at our field or yours.

48-hour advance replacement

Service hubs in Rotterdam, Dallas and Nairobi ship a flight-ready replacement before your aircraft comes back for repair.

Operators on record

Flown hard. Signed off.

“We mapped 1,900 kilometres of transmission corridor in a single season with two Surveyors. The PPK data held under 2 cm without a single ground control point — our audit passed on first submission.”

Henrik Dahl — UAV Lead, Nordgrid Survey, Oslo

“After 400 spray hours across two seasons our Fieldhand batteries still log 92% health. When we finally damaged an airframe mid-harvest, the Nairobi hub had a replacement flying in two days.”

Lucía Herrera — Operations Director, AgroVista, Chile

Export FAQ

Answers before you ask.

The questions every new fleet buyer and OEM partner asks us first. If yours is not here, a platform engineer will answer it within one working day.

What is the minimum order quantity?

One evaluation unit for standard configurations. Volume pricing starts at five units; OEM builds with custom shells or firmware start at fifty.

How fast can I get a sample aircraft?

Stock configurations ship in 7–10 days. Custom payload or shell samples take two to three weeks, including flight validation and logs.

Which payment terms do you accept?

30% T/T deposit with balance before shipment for standard orders. Irrevocable L/C at sight is welcome for orders above $80,000.

How do you ship lithium batteries?

Batteries travel as UN 3480/3481 dangerous goods with UN38.3 test summaries and MSDS included. We book DG-certified air or sea freight and prepare every declaration.

Can you certify for my market?

CE RED and FCC filings are maintained in-house. For other regions our compliance desk manages type approval with local labs — typically four to eight weeks.

What warranty do you provide?

Twelve months on airframes and gimbals, six months or 300 cycles on batteries, and 48-hour advance replacement for fleet program members.
