Delair Releases ‘Future Proof’ Geospatial Mapping Tool UX11 UAV

Delair has announced the release of the UX11, a fixed-wing UAV designed specifically to capture high quality imagery for survey-grade geospatial mapping applications. According to Delair, the system is designed to ‘future proof the use of open and extensible edge-computing infrastructure that can be easily upgraded and incorporate new features as they are developed.’

The DX11 also includes a number of integrated features, such as a global shutter camera, analytics and data reporting tools, PPK functionality.

As for range, it can fly up to 59 minutes, or over 500 acres of mapped area when flown at 400ft. It weighs 1.4kg, which makes hand launches possible, and BTOL (bird-like takeoff and landing) for launches and landings in tight areas. To make landings smoother, the system includes a reverse thrust and ground sensor.

Delair offers the DX11 with two different communications options. The first is a 2.4GHz wireless connection that works anywhere at a range of up to 5km, and secure 3G/4G network connection functionality for reduced interference and longer range. All communications run through a ground control station.

Included Flight Deck software runs on Android devices and offers functionality from the planning stage to processing. That means quick mission planning and pre-flight checks, in-flight monitoring and data verification, and post-flight analytics through integrations with third-party photogrammetry software.
