Autel Robotics EVO Max 4T

The Autel EVO Max 4T is the most capable NDAA-compliant enterprise drone available, integrating four sensors on a single platform: a wide-angle 8K camera, 16x optical zoom camera, FLIR Boson+ thermal camera (640×512), and laser rangefinder. This quad-sensor system enables simultaneous visual and thermal inspection in a single flight. Anti-GPS-spoofing technology with inertial navigation maintains positioning when GPS jamming is detected — a unique capability critical for military-adjacent and public safety deployments. The Skydio-beating autonomous subject tracking and 42-minute flight time complete an enterprise package that is both NDAA-compliant and technically formidable.

Parrot ANAFI USA

The Parrot ANAFI USA is a compact NDAA-compliant enterprise drone designed specifically for US government, public safety, and defense contractors who require secure data handling and French-made hardware. It weighs just 500g yet delivers a unique 32x hybrid zoom camera combining 4K wide-angle, 4K zoom, and thermal FLIR Lepton infrared imaging — all on a single 180° tilt gimbal that shoots straight up. US data security is built-in: no data is stored on Parrot servers and the drone can operate in disconnected mode. Flight time is 32 minutes. Encrypted communications. The ANAFI USA is FAA-approved for BVLOS operations in certain US government contexts and holds NDAA Section 848 compliance.
