With an impressive flight time of over 30 minutes when using the Nexys system, the medium-lift IF800 Tomcat maximizes operational efficiency and productivity. The IF800 is a no-compromise, compelling domestic solution for commercial and government agencies, ensuring the safeguarding of sensitive data and enhancing operational efficiency. “We are thrilled to introduce the integration of the Exyn Nexys scanning solution on the IF800 Tomcat platform. This integration enables users to capture survey-grade data beyond visual-line-of-sight with extended flight times and 3D data visualizations in the field,” said Adam Bilmes, Director of Business Development at Inspired Flight. "This collaboration brings together two industry leaders, known for their exceptional performance, support, and service, ensuring customers receive the highest quality experience.” Incredibly adaptable to changing environments, Nexys’s SLAM-based spatial mapping is capable of capturing up to 1.9 million scan points per second, while continuously updating the map as new data is received. Integrated on a drone like the IF800 Tomcat, users can manually pilot or use Exyn’s industry-leading Level 4B autonomy to capture otherwise impossible-to-reach data without the use of prior maps, GPS, or existing infrastructure. Our autonomy also supports beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and out-of-range communication flights, allowing the data to be collected onboard and streamed back to the user once back in range of communications.
