Aircraft matched to the mission

Lift more capability without closing the payload ecosystem.

The IF1200 combines substantial lift with an open payload architecture. Its universal dovetail interface and multiple power rails provide a flexible base for advanced LiDAR, imaging, EO/IR, multispectral, and specialized sensor packages.

Heavy-lift performance

Carry up to 19.1 lb for complex payload stacks and sensors that exceed compact-aircraft limits.

Open payload architecture

A universal dovetail interface and 5V, 12/15V, and 18V power options simplify mission-specific integration.

Built for field operations

Integrated FPV and a transportable folded configuration support practical single-operator deployment.

U.S. platform support

Engineered, assembled, and supported in the United States, with Blue UAS and Green UAS certification.
