Nova X1

Built for Real-World Operations

Nova X1 combines endurance, precision, and fail-safe engineering into a single platform that can be deployed in minutes and trusted for mission-critical tasks—from corridor mapping to infrastructure inspection.

Mapping-Grade Accuracy

GNSS RTK-ready architecture, low-noise flight profile, and payload-agnostic camera mount designed for survey-grade results.

Redundant Architecture

Dual IMU and multi-sensor fusion with configurable failsafes ensures safe recovery in degraded environments.

Designed for Teams

Seamless integration with fleet tools and mission-planning software for repeatable workflows across sites and teams.

Endurance That Keeps You Ahead

Nova X1 is optimised for long-range, high-endurance missions with predictable power consumption and intelligent battery management.

  • • Up to 60 minutes nominal flight time (no payload)
  • • Optimised for 35–45 minutes with typical mapping payloads
  • • 25 km operational command & control range (LoS)
  • • Configurable geofencing, RTL, and battery reserve thresholds
Max Flight Time
60 min

Under ideal conditions, no payload, sea-level.

Max Range
25 km

Line-of-sight with high-gain antenna configuration.

Wind Resistance
12 m/s

Stable hover and path tracking in gusting conditions.

Ingress Rating
IP54*

*Target rating; depends on final configuration and payload.

Perception Stack

  • • Front + rear obstacle sensing
  • • Downward vision and time-of-flight sensor fusion
  • • Optional LiDAR for dense 3D mapping

On-Board Intelligence

  • • Real-time path re-planning around obstacles
  • • Region-of-interest tracking for inspections
  • • Edge compute bays for custom AI models

Sensors and Intelligence Combined

Nova X1 is designed as a sensing platform first. From high-resolution RGB payloads to LiDAR and thermal options, the airframe and power architecture are optimised for modern survey and inspection stacks.

Tight coupling between navigation, payload, and mission logic ensures that you collect usable, georeferenced data in a single pass—reducing re-flights and post-processing overhead.

One Platform, Multiple Workflows

Deploy Nova X1 across different missions while keeping training, checklists, and fleet management consistent.

Corridor Mapping

Plan linear flights for roads, rail, or pipelines with consistent GSD and overlap optimised for photogrammetry.

  • • Automated waypoint generation
  • • Terrain-following flight modes
  • • Live QC of coverage and overlap

Asset Inspection

Capture high-detail data on towers, rooftops, and industrial sites, with safe stand-off distances and repeatable paths.

  • • Orbit and profile inspection modes
  • • Region-of-interest targeting
  • • Annotation-ready flight logs

Terrain & Site Surveys

Generate accurate 2D and 3D models with flexible payload options adapted to your GIS pipeline.

  • • Time-stamped and geotagged imagery
  • • Export-ready mission reports
  • • Compatible with major photogrammetry suites
