About PF2-AE

PF2-AE Delivery is ACSL’s logistics drone for long-range beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations. LTE video and telemetry, marker landing and a dedicated TAKEOFF app support missions where operators need remote visibility and controlled delivery.

The aircraft carries a transport box and delivery mechanism for payloads up to 1.5 kg and has a 15-minute flight time at that payload. Its two controllers, Remote ID module and LTE link place delivery, monitoring and communications in one industrial UAV package.
