Skyfront’s Perimeter 8 is a revolutionary octocopter drone platform that utilizes a proprietary fuel-injected hybrid gas-electric powertrain to deliver an unparalleled combination of payload capacity and endurance. Capable of carrying up to 10 kg for up to one hour and 5 kg for 2-3 hours, it enables you to get more done in a single flight.
The rapidly-deployable hybrid drone can be unboxed, assembled and airborne in less than 5 minutes. The two-stroke engine features automatic starting and stopping, requiring only refueling before you can fly just as simply as a regular multirotor.
The highly customizable aircraft’s modular payload bay can carry more than 5 kg of equipment, allowing it to be equipped for virtually any mission. Options include:
- EO/IR imaging gimbals from Trillium, Octopus, Workswell and Nextvision
- High-definition mapping and surveying cameras from Sony and Phase One
- LiDAR scanners from Riegl, Yellowscan and RedTail
- Magnetometers from Skyfront, Geometrics, and Sensys
- Multispectral and hyperspectral imagers from MicaSense, Specim and
- HySpex
Skyfront also provides a number of robust and reliable long-range communications options, including Starlink and MIMO radios from Silvus Technologies. The company can also integrate a wide range of third-party radios upon customer request.
The Perimeter 8 long range drone can also be equipped with sophisticated GPS and communications anti-jamming technology that allows it to operate in contested environments and withstand jamming and spoofing attacks.
