Problem
Organizations that need aerial inspection, mapping, or search‑and‑rescue often rely on large, expensive drone systems that require extensive setup, limited range, and lack precise positioning, making rapid deployment and detailed data capture difficult.
Solution
Anzu Robotics offers the Raptor series—compact commercial drones with interchangeable RGB (Raptor) or RGB + thermal (Raptor T) payloads. The drones provide up to 56× hybrid optical zoom and an optional RTK module for centimeter‑level geolocation, enabling high‑resolution imaging from a safe distance. With a nine‑mile control range and 45‑minute flight time, the platforms can be launched from a vehicle or handheld case and operated by a single pilot. Integrated flight‑control software includes pre‑flight checklists, instant LAANC authorization, and mission planning tools, ensuring compliance with FAA regulations and secure, domestic data handling. The result is a portable, secure solution that delivers detailed visual and thermal data for inspection, surveying, public‑safety, and emergency response missions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are public‑safety agencies, utility and infrastructure inspectors, surveying firms, and other professionals who require high‑resolution visual or thermal data in remote or time‑critical situations.
