Angel Aerial Systems designs and manufactures next-generation unmanned aerial systems focused on extended operational endurance. Their drones, like the Trio and Trio Scout, offer significantly longer hover times without requiring battery swaps or tethers. This technology supports defense and public safety missions requiring prolonged aerial surveillance and data collection.

Problem
Conventional quadcopter drones typically have a limited hover time of 20 to 40 minutes due to battery constraints, restricting their utility in sustained surveillance and intelligence missions. This limited endurance can compromise the effectiveness of critical operations in public safety and national security.
Solution
Angel Aerial Systems addresses the challenge of limited drone endurance with the Trio™, a drone airframe and control system designed to achieve up to two hours of hover time on a single battery charge. This extended flight time enables uninterrupted surveillance and intelligence gathering, providing a significant advantage in applications where persistent aerial presence is crucial. The Trio™ airframe represents an evolution of the spinning airframe concept, offering a reliable platform for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and overwatch missions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes public safety organizations, national security agencies, and other entities requiring long-endurance aerial surveillance and intelligence capabilities.
