ANAFI Ai
4G-connected quadcopter
Parrot ANAFI Ai is a 4G-connected quadcopter designed for professional mapping, photogrammetry, and inspection workflows, featuring precise positioning and advanced cybersecurity.
Mission Profile
The ANAFI Ai is engineered for professional applications requiring high-accuracy data collection and real-time connectivity. Its primary role is to serve industries such as construction, infrastructure inspection, public safety, and surveying by providing detailed aerial imagery for 2D and 3D mapping. The integration of 4G connectivity is a cornerstone of its mission profile, enabling beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations in areas with cellular coverage, facilitating extended range missions, and allowing for immediate data transfer to cloud platforms or ground control stations. The drone's design emphasizes ease of deployment and operational efficiency for commercial users. With its RTK/PPK capabilities, it aims to deliver survey-grade accuracy, reducing the need for extensive ground control points. The open-source SDK (Parrot OpenFlight) further expands its utility, allowing developers to create custom applications and integrate the drone into specialized workflows, thereby enhancing its adaptability across various professional contexts and operational doctrines.
