Engineered to operate in challenging environments, the TEUCOPTER stands out for its ability to take off autonomously within five seconds during emergencies, such as earthquakes, and maintain uninterrupted communication within a 400-kilometer range.

Equipped with camera systems and radio relays, the drone facilitates quick and efficient observation and communication in remote areas. Its adaptable design allows it to perform a wide range of tasks, including mining, mapping, surveillance, and agricultural operations, through the integration of various sensors and actuators. This makes it particularly useful in regions that are difficult to access or where operational costs are high.

With a flight endurance of up to 10 hours without refueling, TEUCOPTER relies on a liquid-fuel engine that generates electrical energy for its multirotor structure. In the event of fuel depletion or engine failure, its integrated battery system ensures mission completion via an emergency mode. The drone's vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability, coupled with advanced avionics, allows for fully autonomous operation, including landing in irregular or confined spaces.

Developed entirely in-house by TEUSAN, the TEUCOPTER features low-cost modular energy sources, rapid design adaptability to meet new requirements, and robust systems redundancy for critical flight operations. These capabilities, combined with its slow descent rate and reinforced landing gear, minimize damage risk during landings.

Additionally, the drone's compatibility with the DeckLander system opens up opportunities for use in various fields, including indoor environments with limited visibility, mobile landing platforms for the film industry, and support for military and law enforcement operations.
