ENERGY METHOD

Charge for 25 minutes. Or swap in 30 seconds.

Two energy methods, configurable per-pole. Routine patrol cycles use charging. Mission-critical applications (airport perimeter, oil-pipeline emergencies, mass-event security, port surveillance) use battery-swap for 24/7 non-stop flight.

Method A

Compatible with DJI Dock 3

Wireless Charging

4 methods: contact-pad auto-dock, Qi inductive, resonant wireless, long-range laser (R&D). Up to 1000W charging power.

Full charge

25-50 min

15% → 95% SoC

Best for

Routine patrol with predictable cycles

Method B · Featured

24/7 non-stop flight

Robotic Battery-Swap

Mechanical arm swaps depleted battery with a fresh one from a magazine of 1-2 (compact) or 4-8 (heavy-duty) spares. Same hangar enclosure as DJI Dock 3 mechanical envelope.
