HOW HEAVY IS THE REMOTELY PILOTED AVIATION SYSTEM?

The weight depends on what equipment the RPAS is carrying. With the DJI Matrice 300, zoom camera and laser methane gas detector the take off weight (TOW) is approximately 15 kg (33 lbs).

WHAT KIND OF REDUNDANCIES ARE BUILT IN TO PREVENT A FAILURE IN FLIGHT?

There are several redundancies on the aircraft right from the manufacturer, these include the ability to maintain flight if a motor should fail, return home and landing features in case of lost communication, emergency shut down, changing navigational modes for remote operation, all flight components are monitored continuously and pilot is notified by onscreen display.

HOW LONG CAN YOU FLY?

Depending on the equipment being carried the UAV it is capable of flying up to 40 minutes. With the gas finder camera generally around the 20 minute time frame. CSI has several sets of batteries to ensure a full day of flight if required.

The costs vary vastly dependent upon the services requested, and scope of the project. CSI will be happy to give you a quotation based upon your requirements.
