AERO-V
Efferax Aero-V
Autonomous Inspection Drone for Aerial Survey, Thermal Mapping & Fleet Overwatch
A GPS-denied-capable quadrotor that flies pre-planned or agentically re-planned inspection routes over solar farms, transmission lines, flare stacks and large facilities. Streams a live 3D thermal map to the fleet and hands off ground-level anomalies to Quad-I or AMR units.
