Inspired Flight Technologies (IFT) has been building American-made multirotor UAVs in San Luis Obispo, California, since 2017, with more than 1,000 aircraft currently operating across surveying, inspection, agriculture, research and other demanding applications.
The company develops its UAV platforms around commercial mission requirements, with the IF800 Tomcat and IF1200 engineered for applications ranging from routine survey flights and corridor inspections to consistent data collection across repeat missions. U.S.-based manufacturing was a deliberate decision, with both platforms designed to support the security and procurement requirements of commercial and government operators. When paired with the GS-ONE ground control station, the aircraft provide an NDAA-compliant, Blue UAS-cleared solution for federal, DOT and grant-funded operations.
The IF800 Tomcat and IF1200 share a common payload ecosystem, providing access to an extensive range of optical, multispectral, LiDAR, EO/IR and geophysical sensors. This flexibility enables operators to configure each aircraft around specific mission requirements rather than being limited to a single sensor or workflow, and to adapt their systems as operational requirements evolve.
Every IFT aircraft is backed by a U.S.-based support team. Inspired Care, the company’s aircraft protection plan, provides additional support through reduced repair costs, annual battery benefits, discounted rental options and aircraft replacement coverage, helping to minimize downtime and maintain operational availability.
