About IF800 Tomcat
IF800 Tomcat is a folding quadcopter with a maximum take-off weight of 11.5 kg and a payload allowance of up to 3 kg. The aircraft can fly for as long as 54 minutes depending on payload and conditions, reaches approximately 49 mph and uses hot-swappable batteries to shorten turnaround between missions. An IP43 airframe supports work in light rain and field environments.
A quick-release interface accepts mapping cameras, LiDAR, thermal sensors and other inspection payloads, while Inspired Ground Control handles mission planning and aircraft monitoring. Operators can plan survey grids or inspection routes, capture georeferenced data and transfer the results into photogrammetry, mapping or asset-management software. The US-manufactured platform is NDAA compliant and listed through the Blue UAS programme for government and security-sensitive deployments.
