> 2+ hours? Dang, what COTS UAS achieves that? I had the Autel Dragonfish in mind with that statement: https://auteldrones.com/pages/dragonfish-detail https://auteldrones.com/pages/dragonfish-detail > Also keep in mind that range and payload weight is likely a huge factor here... the ability to deploy and move long distances, circle rapidly at altitude for a wide FOV with frequent insights at new angles... can your thermal quad do that? Most of it, but it’s not exactly the right tool for this. A fixed wing is more appropriate I’d say. > Does it have multiple magnitudes of optical zoom? Mine doesn’t, but they exist. The Dragonfish has 4x (and could be much closer to the subject) > The ability to overlay situational awareness info like street intersections based on positional lock? Sure - GPS metadata and camera angle are included in the stream, so that can be added by the base station on the fly. > I am curious. Maybe your solutions do achieve this. But I was impressed from an optics perspective, SA HUD perspective, etc. Oh, I am too! I’m just saying that it seems like overkill for this particular mission.
