CAFA Tech DRONES

The C3 is an advanced, fixed-wing drone with Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) capabilities designed specifically for efficient, flexible logistics and sensor deployment missions. The platform features a wingspan of approximately 3 meters, optimized per mission requirements, and weighs around 25 kg. It can carry payloads of up to 6 kg, subject to wing configuration, making it suitable for transporting various sensors, high value goods, and communication equipment.

Powered by a reliable lithium-ion battery system, the drone achieves an operational radius of 200 km and is capable of performing extended missions in intercity (up to 200 km) and peri urban regions, efficiently delivering payloads weighing up to 6 kg when configured specifically for logistics purposes.

Communication and Control: The CAFA C3 integrates a robust multi-channel communication system, including LEO satellite communication (Satcom), an 868 MHz radio modem for Landing/Take off control, and cellular network connectivity through integrated 4G/5G modems, ensuring reliable, real-time data exchange and remote control capabilities even in areas with varying communication infrastructures.
Flight Operations: Equipped for vertical take-off and landing, the drone is ideal for deployment in urban, peri urban, and remote locations where conventional runways are unavailable. It operates within a flexible altitude range from a minimum of 5 meters up to a maximum altitude of 6,000 meters, allowing it to navigate diverse terrains and comply with airspace restrictions.
The platform includes a powerful onboard Linux-based flight computer, ensuring autonomous operations, precise flight control, and adaptability to different missions. Ground operations are supported via the QGroundControl Station (QGCS), providing intuitive flight planning, real-time telemetry monitoring, and secure control functions.
Sensor Suite: The drone features an integrated sensor array consisting of three cameras positioned at the front, rear, and bottom, facilitating comprehensive situational awareness, navigation accuracy, and effective monitoring of payload deployment.
Use-Case Description: The CAFA Tech C3 VTOL drone serves as a versatile logistics and operational platform, effectively bridging intercity distances (up to 200 km) and enabling rapid, reliable, and flexible delivery of payloads up to 6 kg. Typical applications include express parcel deliveries, emergency medical supply transport and deployment of sensor networks or communication equipment in both peri urban and remote locations. Its modular configuration and integrated multi-network communication capabilities make it particularly valuable for real-time, mission-critical logistics operations.
