Parrot ANAFI Ai

The 4G robotic UAV

The Parrot ANAFI Ai is the first off-the-shelf 4G robotic drone built for professional mapping and inspection. It plans and flies its own photogrammetry missions, captures survey-grade 48MP imagery, and streams data over 4G with no range limit — anywhere in the world.

4G-Connectivity

4G Connectivity

Skip the range limits of standard Wi-Fi control links. ANAFI Ai's built-in 4G radio streams live video with average latency of just 300ms, giving pilots a stable connection well beyond visual line of sight wherever there's mobile coverage.

Autonomous Photogrammetry

Set a survey area with a single tap and ANAFI Ai handles the rest — calculating optimal flight paths, adjusting camera settings, and avoiding obstacles automatically. It supports single grid, double grid, and orbit missions for 2D and 3D data capture without manual flight planning.

Survey-Grade Imaging

The 1/2" 48MP CMOS sensor delivers 14 EV of dynamic range in HDR mode, holding onto highlight and shadow detail in difficult lighting. Combined with precise geotagging from onboard GNSS, IMU, and time-of-flight sensors, captured imagery is ready for accurate 3D reconstruction straight out of the box.

Commercial Uses

From infrastructure inspection to campus research programmes, ANAFI Ai's autonomous mapping and secure 4G link make it a fit wherever teams need reliable, repeatable aerial data:

Research & Education

4K UHD Video

Capture smooth 4K footage at up to 30fps, including P-Log for flexible colour grading and HDR10 for handling high-contrast scenes cleanly.

HDR10

1,000-nit brightness and 10-bit colour depth give footage more than double the brightness and contrast range of standard video capture.

Intelligent Capture Modes

Panorama, burst, bracketing, timelapse, and GPS-lapse modes are built in, letting pilots switch capture styles instantly without any extra software.

Enterprise-Grade Cybersecurity

A Wisekey Secure Element certified to FIPS 140-2 Level 3 and Common Criteria EAL5+ digitally signs imagery, with zero data shared without consent.

Fleet & Data Management

Teams that opt in can manage flight logs, fleet status, and captured media through Parrot's cloud platform, keeping every project organised.

Open SDK

Parrot's Air SDK, Ground SDK, and simulation tools like Sphinx and Olympe let developers build custom applications on top of ANAFI Ai.

One-Tap Flight Plan Creation

AI sets flight parameters and trajectory automatically, geotagging each 48MP image with IMU, GNSS, and time-of-flight data for accurate reconstruction.
