FD2 Sniffer Drone

The FD2 Enterprise airframe features full IP67 waterproofing and exceptional Level 6 wind resistance (up to 40 mph). This marine-grade build allows environmental teams to safely fly directly into highly corrosive industrial plumes, torrential downpours, or heavy sea spray to scan cargo ship exhaust emissions without risk of short-circuiting.

The Sniffer4D V2 multi-gas module is installed via a specialized top-mounted quick-release rail. Positioning the sensor module on top of the fuselage, well clear of the high-velocity propeller downwash, ensures that ambient air is pulled cleanly into the intake chamber without being mixed or diluted by air pushed downward by the carbon-fibre blades.

The system can be configured to track up to nine gases and particulate targets at once. Available ultra-precise sensor options include Carbon Monoxide ($CO$), Carbon Dioxide ($CO_2$), Sulphur Dioxide ($SO_2$), Nitrogen Dioxide ($NO_2$), Hydrogen Sulphide ($H_2S$), Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOCs), Methane ($CH_4$), Ammonia ($NH_3$), and PM2.5/PM10 particulate matter.

Using the advanced Sniffer4D Mapper software, data is beamed back to control rooms via 4G or high-frequency radio links. The software instantly transforms raw data into 2D grid maps, isoline concentration lines, and 3D point clouds, allowing command teams to see the exact altitude, scale, and origin of a hazardous gas leak in real time.

Yes. In addition to delivering real-time digital readouts, the platform can be optioned with a remote-triggered physical gas sampling pump. When the digital sensors detect a spike or an unknown anomaly in the plume, the pilot can command the drone to fill an on-board Tedlar bag, preserving a pristine sample for laboratory gas chromatography testing.

Equipped with high-capacity 6S flight packs and carrying the top-mounted sensing payload, the FD2 provides a stable operational flight time of 22 to 25 minutes per cycle. The integrated slide-in battery tray layout allows ground crews to swap packs in under 20 seconds, facilitating swift data collection over large industrial complexes.
