Dragonfly Pictures' DP14 Hawk, a dual-rotor unmanned aerial system, could one day evacuate wounded soldiers from the battlefield. It resembles a miniature CH-47 Chinook helicopter, can carry 430 pounds in its six-foot by 20-inch cargo space for about 2.4 hours. It has a cruising speed of about 82 miles per hour and is capable of flying in crosswinds up to 46 mph.
The DP14 Hawk uses onboard LIDAR, or 3D laser scanning, and advanced algorithms to self-navigate in complex, restricted environments, according to DPI's website. This includes advanced intelligence for path planning, course corrections, perception, obstacle avoidance, and landing-site selection.
It can be transported in a truck.
It can be assembled, readied to fly and launched in 30 minutes.
Dragonfly Pictures is the industry leader in small rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the U.S. DPI UAV have successfully flown thousands of hours, are military proven, and are now available for industry. Our UAV are ideal for critical missions where stable precision flight, self launch/land, high payload capability are key. DPI is recognized for robust low-cost UAV, world-class innovative rotorcraft design, extensive testing, and successful UAV deployment.
DP-14 Hawk: Key Capabilities
Payload: 430 lbs
23 Cubic foot cargo area, over 6 feet long, over 20 inches wide
No runway or recovery equipment required
Self-launch and self-recover in unprepared sites
Autonomousoperation, including self-launch and self-recover in unprepared sites
Extend range: Vary fuel versus payload to optimize range and endurance for each mission
Precision control, precision flight via autonomous flight path programming.
Precision cargo drops better than 3 meters
Fast and agile: Speed up to 105 kts, rapid climb 500 ft/minute under load
Nap of earth (NOE) flight even in complex terrain, such as jungle, mountain, forest, and urban environments
Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) flight even in GPS-denied environments
Croswinds 40 knots
Stable hover, no stall speed
All-terrain landing gear for uneven ground, slopes to 15 degrees, and heaving pitching rolling ships
High bandwidth encrypted comm link
Fits in Sprinter* van or utility trailer
