Anzu Robotics, announced its entry into the drone market with the release of its new Raptor and Raptor T drone platforms. Developed in partnership with Aloft Technologies, based in Syracuse, the Raptor series is designed to meet geopolitical and cybersecurity standards crucial for modern drone operations.
The new drone series combines advanced hardware with software fully developed in the United States, aiming to provide secure and reliable functionality suited for both public safety agencies and various industries. Randall Warnas, CEO of Anzu Robotics, emphasized the strategic timing of the launch, noting the company's commitment to high-quality, reliable, and innovative drone solutions. According to Warnas, the partnership with manufacturing and software development firms is key to meeting the broad needs of their clientele.
Jon Hegranes, Founder and CEO of Aloft Technologies, stressed the significance of robust software solutions in the development of leading-edge drone technology. "In working with Anzu Robotics on the Raptor series, our goal was to prioritize data integrity and security," Hegranes stated. The software supporting the Raptor series is hosted on secure servers within the United States, ensuring comprehensive data protection and privacy, according to Aloft Technologies.
The Raptor and Raptor T models feature sophisticated imaging technologies including hybrid zoom capabilities and high-resolution cameras, suitable for a range of applications from detailed inspections to broad-area surveillance. The drones offer substantial operational flexibility with up to 45 minutes of flight time and a range of up to 9 miles, with additional precision available through an optional RTK module.
The launch also highlights Anzu Robotics' focus on compliance with U.S. regulations. The company is entirely American-owned and operated, addressing the geopolitical concerns that have previously restricted access to leading drone technology in certain markets. The Raptor series is designed to adhere to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, incorporating features such as pre-flight checklists and the capability for instant LAANC authorization via the Aloft Air Control app.
Randall Warnas commented on the potential of drones to enhance operational efficiencies, cost savings, and safety across multiple sectors. He suggested that the Raptor series represents just the beginning of tapping into the broader capabilities of drone technology.
With the introduction of the Raptor series, Anzu Robotics and Aloft Technologies aim to set new benchmarks in the drone industry for security, safety, and compliance, equipping users to fully leverage the capabilities of drone technology with increased confidence.
