About Draganfly Apex

Draganfly Apex is a folding multirotor rated for payloads up to 2.4 kilograms and flight times up to 45 minutes. Its Cube H7 flight controller provides triple-redundant inertial sensing, while RTK compatibility, optional obstacle avoidance and a modular payload mount support surveying, inspection, public-safety and government missions.

Core and Ultra communications configurations provide different ranges, encryption and onboard-compute options. The Ultra version can incorporate NVIDIA Jetson Orin processing, multiband radios and FIPS AES-256 encryption for edge AI and secure field work. Payload integrations include multispectral cameras, electro-optical and infrared gimbals and conventional high-resolution imaging systems. The aircraft is designed and manufactured in North America.
