The Draganflyer Commander2 is a multi-mission, high-endurance, electric small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) that combines the signature design elements of our past Draganflyer systems with the most advanced features to date. Our patented carbon fiber folding airframe and wide range of interchangeable payloads makes this system a must-have in your toolkit for capturing high-resolution imagery. The Commander2 is the ideal choice for numerous applications across many industries including agriculture, public safety, and aerial 3D modeling. Paired with powerful MAVLink-based flight planning software, the Commander2 supports both fully- and semi-automated missions, as well as manual flight operations with a pilot in the loop for a high level of system control to handle any operational task.
