Auto Path Finding

Autel's Autonomy Engine collects surrounding environmental data and plans 3D flight paths through complex environments such as mountains, forests, and buildings. Use cases include rapid 3D scene reconstruction, public safety overwatch, industrial inspection, and land surveying.

Navigation in GPS Denied Environment

Advanced sensors allow the EVO Max series to navigate within hardened structures, underground, or in environments without GPS.

Accurate Object Identification and Tracking

Based on Autel's AI recognition technology, the EVO Max series can automatically identify and lock onto different types of targets such as heat sources, moving people, or vehicles and achieve high-altitude tracking and data collection for law enforcement.

No Blind Spots. Ultimate Obstacle Avoidance

The EVO Max series is the only commercial drone that combines traditional binocular vision systems with millimeter wave radar technology. This allows the onboard Autel Autonomy Engine to perceive objects down to 0.5 inches, eliminating blind spots and enabling operation in low light or rainy conditions.

Anti Jam, Anti Interference

The EVO Max series uses advanced flight control modules and algorithms specially designed to counter RFI, EMI, and GPS spoofing. This enables the EVO Max series to fly confidently near power lines, critical structures, and in complex areas.

A-Mesh 1.0. The Industry's First Mesh Networking

EVO Max series features the new A-Mesh system, enabling drone-to-drone autonomous communication, connection, and collaboration.

Enhanced Range

Communication nodes can be placed statically on hills or poles to provide full coverage to an area, or a swarm of drones can provide mobile communication points to extend the coverage of the entire group.

Beyond-Line-of-Sight Applications

With A-Mesh, multiple drones in the vicinity can act as relay points to greatly improve BVLOS operation effectiveness.

Enhanced Anti-Interference

The EVO Max series can communicate seamlessly with other drones in the vicinity, unlike a traditional chain structure. If a single drone fails or exits unexpectedly, the entire system will independently self-organize and continue to relay critical information.

Full-Fleet Control

Multiple drones can be controlled autonomously by 1 pilot or by a group of pilots simultaneously with or without LTE coverage.

Autel SkyLink 3.0

SkyLink 3.0 system of the EVO Max Series comes with 6 antennas, 4 frequency bands, AES-256 encryption, and optional 4G integration to provide users with the most advanced flight capabilities ever in an EVO.

• 12.4 miles Image Transmission Distance

Millimeter-wave Radar Sensing System

Frequency 60GHz/24GHz* - *Please fly safely and comply with your local laws and regulations to use 60GHz.

Sensing Range 60GHz Radar: Upward: 0.98-787.4in (0.3-20m), Downward: 5.9-3149.6in (0.15-80m), Forward and Backward: 0.98-98.43ft (0.3-50m) ; 24GHz Radar: Downward: 2.62-39.4ft (0.8-12m)

FOV Horizontal (6dB): ±60°/±22° (24G/60G) ; Vertical (6dB): ±30°/±20° (24G/60G)

Operating Environment The 60GHz millimeter-wave radar sensing system supports all-weather obstacle avoidance for glass, water, wires, buildings, and trees. Its obstacle avoidance distance varies with the obstacle's ability to reflect electromagnetic waves and its surface size.

The 24Ghz millimeter-wave radar supports downward sensing, and its sensing range varies by the ground material. For example, the sensing range of cement ground is 12 meters, and the sensing range of grass with a thickness of more than 3cm is less than 6 meters.
