About Commander 3XL
Commander 3XL is a multirotor aircraft built around a large central payload area and landing structure that accommodates cameras, mapping sensors, communications equipment and cargo modules. The flight platform can carry payloads up to 10 kg, allowing operators to configure the aircraft for lidar survey, imaging, public-safety observation or delivery. Its modular integration points provide power and mounting support for mission-specific equipment.
Draganfly supplies the aircraft with ground-control software, communications hardware, batteries and selected sensor packages. Missions can be planned through waypoint routes or flown directly by a trained operator, with payload data monitored or recorded during flight. The Commander 3XL is marketed as a professional UAS for government, emergency-response, industrial and geospatial customers requiring a configurable heavy-payload platform.
