The Alta X addresses these needs by combining large, efficient propellers with precise flight control systems, enabling operators to deploy heavy payloads—including cinema-grade cameras, thermal imaging systems, and specialized sensors—with the stability and endurance required for extended operations.
The Alta X by Freefly is a state-of-the-art drone engineered to maximize the advantages of large, efficient propellers while maintaining precise control.
This drone is tailored to meet various operational needs through several production configurations or bundles, ensuring a wide range of users, from backup airframe seekers to cinema professionals and industrial operators, can find a suitable match.
Freefly offers the Alta X in multiple setups to cater to the specific needs of different operators. Whether you need a basic airframe or a fully equipped kit for public safety applications, the Alta X has you covered.
All Alta X configurations support RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) positioning upgrades, providing centimeter-level accuracy crucial for:
This RTK capability ensures that location data collected during operations meets the precision standards required for legal proceedings and operational planning.
The Alta X incorporates a US-made PX4 Blue Cube flight controller, addressing critical security and compliance requirements for government agencies:
NDAA Compliance: The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) restricts federal agencies from purchasing certain foreign-manufactured drones due to security concerns. The Alta X's US-made components help agencies maintain compliance with these federal requirements.
Blue UAS Framework: The Department of Defense's Blue UAS program identifies drone systems that meet stringent security and performance standards. The Alta X's PX4 Blue Cube is designed with DIU (Defense Innovation Unit) Blue requirements in mind, featuring:
FAA Integration: As with all professional drone operations, the Alta X supports full integration with FAA Part 107 commercial drone regulations and can accommodate agencies operating under Certificate of Authorization (COA) for expanded operational capabilities.
The Freefly Alta X represents more than just an advancement in drone technology—it's a force multiplier for public safety operations. By combining cinema-grade imaging capabilities with the reliability and compliance features required for government operations, the Alta X enables agencies to gather intelligence, document scenes, and conduct operations with unprecedented precision and capability.
For agencies ready to advance their aerial capabilities beyond standard commercial drones, the Alta X provides a pathway to professional-grade operations while maintaining the security and compliance standards required for public safety applications
The Alta X is designed with large, efficient propellers and precise control mechanisms. It supports various configurations, RTK readiness for accurate positioning, and compatibility with a range of radio controllers, making it ideal for high-end cinema and industrial applications.
The PX4 Blue Cube ensures compliance with DIU Blue requirements by disabling WiFi and restricting firmware updates to Blue-qualified versions. This feature enhances security and offers future upgrade paths for enhanced compliance and functionality.
