GRIFFIN Pro
2.5 hours flight time with unmatched wind resistance
ready to fly industrial aerial vehicle
THE PLATFORM
ARACE GRIFFIN Pro is a next generation, ready to fly industrial aerial vehicle manufactured in the EU. It can perform vertically takeoff and landing (VTOL) from any 5x5m flat surface. Granting it the ability to be deploy from practically anywhere. For example, the side of the road, middle of a forest, top of a building, truck, boat and so on. Once reached safe altitude the flight mode will transition to horizontal forward flight and the UAV will proceed as a tradition fixed-wing aircraft. It is capable of up to 2.5 hours flight time.
higher wind resistance
Aerial mapping
The Griffin Pro has higher wind resistance than most other VTOL platforms, can safely take off and land in over 45kph winds at ground level and over 80kph in the air. Carbon and Kevlar reinforced parts ensure robustness and longevity.
next generation, autonomous aerial platform
Deployment, power and cost
The ARACE GRIFFIN Pro can be deployed very rapidly at any location. Transportation is easy, due to single compact carry-case that can fit in any car. Field assembly is easy and fast. Takes less than 30 seconds and is 100% tool-less. Everything is plug and play.
No pre-flight calibrations are required.
Power system is 100% electric, so no messing with gasoline mixtures, no fiddling with starter motors, no carburetor tuning for various altitudes, no engine warming requirements before every flight, no expensive engine servicing/overhaul (requiring mechanics).
The ARACE GRIFFIN is also best in class when it comes to noise during flight. Typically, inaudible at above 180m over ground level.
100% autonomously
Autonomy
ARACE GRIFFIN Pro can operate 100% autonomously, from takeoff to landing. Missions can be planned and executed with the help of intuitive command and control application. Where to fly, what to do when it arrives there (take photo or record video, track/follow a target, etc.), when to return.
highly customizable, based on the user’s requirements
Versatility
The ARACE GRIFFIN Pro is highly customizable, based on the user’s requirements.
For civil security, surveillance, and SAR applications, it can be equipped with various state of the art single or dual sensor payload. Long range, optical zooming daylight cameras. As well as thermal cameras.
For aerial mapping projects, there are numerous options for high-res RGB camera and multi-spectral camera. Which can be mounted at the same time on the platform.
No runway or complicated/heavy bungee system is needed.
cutting edge technology
Redundancy and safety
The ARACE GRIFFIN Pro houses cutting edge technology and multiple redundancy systems for safe operation:
- Dual Airspeed sensor
- Triple IMUs
- Dual Compass
- Dual GNSS/GPS (multi constellation)
- Dual elevators
- Multiple built-in failsafe features
- ADS-B receiver
can cover up to 120km
Range and security
The Griffin Pro can cover up to 150km in a single flight. Can be equipped with AES encrypted datalink for telemetry/control/live video with up to 40km range.
