About BVQ418

BVQ418 is a portable Class 3 quadcopter designed for inspection, monitoring, emergency response and modular payload work. Beyond Vision states up to 90 minutes of flight autonomy and IP54 protection, allowing the aircraft to support longer outdoor missions in rain and dusty conditions. An onboard RTK GNSS module fuses GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS measurements and is presented with positioning error down to about 5 cm.

The communications stack combines Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G and 5G with a point-to-point radio option stated at up to 100 km. Cellular coverage can extend the control link beyond the local radio footprint, but does not by itself grant unrestricted operational range or regulatory BVLOS approval. Beyond Vision lists more than 40 compatible payloads for cameras, communications and specialist sensing. Tool-free assembly and a portable design target field deployment for infrastructure inspection, security sweeps, fire prevention and search-and-rescue support.
