About NEST

NEST is XTEND's portable docking station for launching, recovering and charging compatible unmanned aircraft. It supports remotely managed missions by sheltering the aircraft, automating turnaround and connecting field deployment with XTEND's control software.

NEST supplies the field infrastructure around a compatible aircraft. Supported drone models, battery handling, weather protection and mission continuity depend on the selected NEST and aircraft configuration.
