27 Aug
Summary
- The GX10-F100 offers over 150 minutes of flight endurance.
- It can transport up to 19 pounds of cargo.
- A carbon-fiber frame suits coastal and remote operations.
Iveda has introduced the GX10-F100, a new rotary-wing unmanned aircraft targeted at military and government operations requiring extended airborne endurance.
The gasoline-powered drone claims an impressive flight time exceeding 150 minutes, significantly outperforming typical electric quadcopters. It is capable of carrying up to 19 pounds of cargo and features a durable, semi-symmetrical carbon-fiber frame designed for operations in coastal areas, remote terrains, and high winds.
With dimensions comparable to compact helicopters, the GX10-F100 utilizes a 1.43-gallon fuel tank and can reach speeds of 68 mph. Its onboard autonomy software provides capabilities for live video feeds, route guidance, and object tracking, reducing the need for constant manual control.
Beyond military logistics and reconnaissance, the GX10-F100 is positioned for emergency response, infrastructure inspection, and public safety applications. Governments and approved agencies can procure the aircraft through specific federal arrangements, with plans also in place for Iveda to convert retired full-size helicopters into autonomous platforms in the future.
