General Information

Roleisr|mapping

The Freefly Astro (including Astro Max variant) is a compact, foldable quadcopter UAS designed for industrial applications, featuring a US-made carbon-fiber frame, RTK positioning, and support for high-resolution cameras or sensors. Key capabilities include up to 3 kg payload capacity (Astro Max), 39-43 minutes endurance without payload, and quick-deploy folding design for mapping, inspection, and surveying. In defense use cases, NDAA/Blue-compliant versions enable secure ISR operations for government and military users. Its key differentiator is the oversized 21-inch folding props on a small folded footprint (508 mm diameter), maximizing efficiency and flight time while maintaining precise control.
