Carbonix

Carbonix provides advanced Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) UAVs designed for long-range, high-endurance operations across various demanding sectors. These sophisticated aerial platforms offer a compelling alternative to traditional manned aircraft and multi-rotors, delivering superior efficiency and a strong return on investment.

Key advantages of Carbonix UAVs include:

• Extended Flight Times: Achieve up to 10 hours of forward flight with the Ottano model, enabling comprehensive coverage over vast areas and supporting Extended Visual Line of Sight (EVLOS) and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations.
• Rapid Deployment: Our UAVs are engineered for speed, assembling from their cases and becoming flight-ready in less than 15 minutes. The Ottano can be quickly dismantled and packed into a bespoke hard case, fitting into standard vehicles for easy transport.
• Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL): This capability ensures quick airborne deployment without the need for runways, catapults, or belly landings. VTOL preserves the integrity of sensors and avionics, and requires a take-off area of less than 10m², granting access to hard-to-reach and challenging terrains.
• Versatile Payload Options: Carbonix works closely with sensor partners to offer a wide array of payload solutions. These include high-end gimbals and micro gimbal cameras for Intelligence, Reconnaissance, and Surveillance (ISR), high-resolution photogrammetry cameras for mapping and GIS, multispectral sensors for vegetation and landform characterisation, and advanced LiDAR solutions for topographic mapping through dense canopy. Custom payload integration is also available to meet specific project requirements.

These capabilities make Carbonix UAVs ideal for critical applications such as inspecting energy networks and infrastructure, providing intelligence and surveillance, and supporting agriculture and conservation efforts. Customers like SA Power Networks and Ausgrid have highlighted the technology's ability to enhance safety, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency for tasks traditionally performed by manned aircraft. From bushfire ignition detection with the ANU-Optus Bushfire Research Centre of Excellence to long-range maritime and land projects with Fugro, Carbonix UAVs consistently deliver reliable and high-quality aerial data.
