Yuneec H520E Professional Drone with 2x Batteries and ST16S Controller, Without Camera

Pioneering Hexacopter System
The H520E-OFDM Hexacopter was specially developed for commercial drone applications and provides SAR ground teams, inspectors, police, fire brigades and surveying teams with a versatile tool. The H520E-OFDM is a robust, powerful and flexible UAV platform that can be ideally adapted to individual requirements and thus enables a variety of industry-specific applications. Long flight times and high-quality camera systems with embedded GPS data allow an area to be recorded quickly and precisely, while the interference-free precision compass enables flying even in previously difficult-to-fly environments. In addition to the performance and flexibility, great emphasis was placed on the drone's flight and data security when developing the platform.

Intelligente Security Concept
The H520E-OFDM was developed with the highest demands on safety and functionality. The 6-rotor system enables a stable and safe flight by ensuring that the H520E-OFDM can continue to fly safely even if a rotor fails. Built-in ultrasonic sensors allow the drone to detect obstacles and avoid collisions, while the battery issues battery warnings when the voltage is too low and finally changes to a fail-safe function. In addition, the H520E-OFDM is equipped with a redundant control signal, a return home and a geo fence function, which ensures that the drone does not move beyond a radius specified by the user.

Comprehensive DataPilot Software
Yuneec DataPilot is a comprehensive software solution for planning waypoint and survey missions, that is fully integrated into the hardware and software of the H520E-OFDM. The DataPilot software system enables users to efficiently and consistently create orthomaps, 3D scans, crop data imagery, in the field or on the desktop for repeatable, recallable aerial flight paths, without requiring expensive third party software. Surveillance flights, construction measurements, BIM components, accident reconstruction, 3D scans, orthomosaics and photo stitches are created with high precision and efficiency via the DataPilot interface. DataPilot is installed as standard on the ST16E remote control.

Off-site Planning Of Flight Missions
DataPilot auto-generates survey paths with user-defined frontlap/sidelap, and cross-hatching for precision 3D or large format image output. DataPilot also allows for storage/caching of maps from many map providers for access in areas with no connectivity, and provides tools for precise waypoint placement even in areas where no updated maps are available. Missions/flights may be stored for later recall/reflight, or planned off-site and transported to the control system via email, thumbdrive, or micro-SD card. Mac and PC users may plan missions offsite and execute missions on-site, allowing for time-planning, collaborative mission planning, and archiving of missions in a cloud or local storage.

Versatile Payload Options
Thanks to its multiple load options, the H520E-OFDM can be easily adapted to different areas of application. Currently, the E10TX / E10TvX thermal camera, the E30ZX zoom camera and the E90X photo / video camera are available to H520E-OFDM users. Thanks to the ability to replace sensors in a matter of seconds, downtime is minimized and productivity is improved. One gimbal-camera combination can be exchanged for another without power cycling the airframe.

Protection Of Sensitive Data
The H520E-OFDM has been developed as a closed system, its technical design prevents communication with third-party servers. Communication only takes place between the drone, the payload and the ST16E remote control. Log files are stored locally in the drone and are only required by Yuneec for service purposes in the event of a guarantee. There is no involuntary data transfer to servers. Neither flight data nor images, videos or log files are forwarded to external servers and remain in your possession. Thus, your data is optimally protected.

A Click Away From Software Updates
The UpdatePilot app allows you to check and automatically update your drone, payload and remote control to the latest software version. Just open the app on the ST16E, make sure that WiFi and camera have been selected and then click on the "Check App Version" button - UpdatePilot will automatically download and install the latest update if necessary. Make sure that the H520E is switched on and note that the YUNEEC UpdatePilot can only be installed on the ST16E and a micro SD card must be inserted in the camera to accomplish the updates.

ST16E Controller
The Android-based ST16E is equipped with a fast Intel quad-core processor and OFDM support. Thanks to the OFDM support, the live image transmission can be expanded up to 6 kilometers. The integrated 7 inch display with touchscreen ensures precise and intuitive operation of the H520E and shows all flight information as well as the live image from the camera. The live image can also be transferred to a larger monitor via the HDMI output of the ST16E. During the flight, real-time telemetry data such as altitude, speed, distance from home, GPS position and battery status are shown on the display. Controls expected by professionals include adjustable video resolution and white balance, while light exposure can be controlled automatically or manually, including ISO and shutter speed.

Site Mapping
Preconstruction survey, topographical measurements and project progress become concise and efficient using unmanned aviation solutions. The Yuneec H520E-OFDM is designed to fly repeatable, perfect-placement flight over construction sites, providing not only measurable and demonstrable project data, but also helping to identify shrink points or at-risk areas. Autonomous flight allows for repeated flights that may be layered to determine changes in the work site and provide comparisons over time.

Inspection
Vertical structures can be inspected safely and efficiently with the precise flight behavior of the H520E-OFDM. Long focal lengths allow users to fly further back from the object being viewed, without compromising image quality or depth. DataPilot can store missions that require weekly or monthy re-flight for purposes of comparison, failure evaluation, or deterioration studies. The safety improvement and cost reduction with sUAS inspection are staggering in comparison.

Law Enforcement
Accident scene reconstruction, crime scene mapping, as "eye in the sky" for crowd control or monitoring of targeted areas: The H520E-OFDM offers the necessary payloads for optimal performance. The Yuneec H520E-OFDM empowers Law Enforcement officers to quickly record an accident scene in 2D or 3D, for later assembly of data for court appearances, reporting, or archiving. High-quality camera systems with embedded GPS data enables evidence-gathering to be captured and examined before the crime, accident, or fire investigators or first-responders have entered the area.

Search & Rescue
The Yuneec H520E-OFDM enhances safety at a contaminated scene, speeds rescue and recovery, and offers scene management tools through thermal imaging and resource management. Firefighters appreciate the ability to "see" through smoke and rapidly identify hotspots using thermal imaging, and the ability to gain a birdseye view of operations on a large scene. In addition, the drone can be used for scouting the route ahead for obstacles, finding victims, photographing remote crash sites, terrain mapping, crash site monitoring or for improving communication.
