Company description:
The Dark Matter hX is our flagship hexacopter, easily transportable in an IP67 flight case. It has a long flight endurance (up to 45 minutes with no payload), an excellent wind tolerance (up to 12m/s) and a wide operational window (can fly from -20°C to +35°C as standard, higher if painted white, and in light precipitation).
Being a multi-rotor, the Dark Matter hX takes off and lands vertically, so it requires only a small flat area to operate from.
The Dark Matter hX has a quick-release payload system and can accommodate several types of cameras (RGB or IR with different levels of zoom, multispectral), usually fitted on a 3-axis gimbal. The maximum payload weight is 7.5kg.
When fitted with our preferred flight controller, the standard positional accuracy is up to 10 cm vertically and up to 40 cm horizontally. The system uses both GPS and GLONASS. The RTK option gives a position accuracy of about 1 or 2 cm.
The Dark Matter hX can be flown by a pilot but also can follow a flight path autonomously in GPS navigation mode that the operator can define with the help of the associated Ground Control Software. The flight plan can be saved and accurately repeated at a later date. No internet access is needed to create flight missions or activate them.
When security is of utmost importance, the Dark Matter hX can be flown on a tether of up to 100m in altitude or be fitted with a secure datalink option that can also allow for BVLOS operations (5km+).
Its unique modular design ensures compatibility with a wide range of payload options and allows us to fit or retrofit exciting upgrades and options.
