Dragonfish Standard L20T

Autel Dragonfish Standard with L20T — Long-Endurance VTOL Platform with Professional 20× EO/IR Multi-Sensor Imaging

Intelligent VTOL Efficiency. Medium- to Long-Range Target Tracking. Mission-Ready Multi-Sensor Capability.

The Autel Dragonfish Standard equipped with the L20T gimbal is a powerful mid-range VTOL fixed-wing drone designed for extended-duration missions, automated aerial operations, and real-time multi-sensor intelligence gathering.
Positioned between the Dragonfish Lite and Dragonfish Pro, the Standard model delivers an ideal balance of range, endurance, and payload capacity, making it a dependable solution for agencies and organizations that require multi-hour flights with high-quality EO/IR imaging.

With the L20T long-range electro-optical/infrared payload, the Dragonfish Standard becomes an exceptionally capable aerial surveillance tool suitable for law enforcement, search and rescue, border patrol, utility inspection, coastal monitoring, firefighting operations, and large-area reconnaissance.

Versatile VTOL Design for Rapid Deployment

The Dragonfish Standard inherits Autel’s renowned tilt-rotor VTOL architecture, offering:

• Vertical takeoff and landing with no runway required

• Fixed-wing cruising efficiency for extended flight endurance

• High wind resistance and stable performance in harsh conditions

• Easy deployment in remote, tight, or rugged locations

• Faster mission readiness with minimal setup time

This hybrid design gives teams the freedom to launch missions anywhere — from desert trails to city rooftops.

L20T Multi-Sensor Gimbal — 20× Optical Zoom + Thermal Vision

The L20T is a high-performance EO/IR payload offering outstanding clarity, range, and versatility.

20× Optical Zoom EO Camera

• Crisp, detailed imaging across long distances

• Ideal for tracking vehicles, vessels, or individuals

• Smooth zoom transitions with stabilized output

• High-resolution daylight reconnaissance

Advanced Thermal Imaging

• Detects heat signatures through darkness, fog, smoke, and vegetation

• Monitors hotspots during fires

• Enhances SAR capabilities by finding missing persons

• Ideal for night patrol and covert operations

AI-Powered Tracking & Laser-Assisted Stabilization

• Intelligent object tracking

• Target lock on stationary or moving subjects

• Smooth gimbal stabilization for high-speed flight

• Keeps subjects centered even during aggressive maneuvers

The L20T gives operators a complete view of the mission environment, day or night.

Extended Flight Endurance for Professional Operations

The Dragonfish Standard delivers impressive endurance and coverage capability:

• Multi-hour flight time depending on payload and conditions

• Large operational coverage per mission

• Improved efficiency over multirotor drones

• Reliable long-distance link with auto-adaptive transmission

Perfect for operations that require consistent aerial presence without constant battery changes.

AI-Assisted Autonomous Mission Control

Autel’s advanced onboard intelligence turns complex missions into one-tap operations:

• Fully automated takeoff and landing

• Smart patrol routing for border or infrastructure monitoring

• Grid mapping for wide-area reconnaissance

• Automated failsafes, including RTH and low-battery protocols

• Terrain-following and stabilised cruising

This reduces operator workload and ensures mission accuracy even in challenging conditions.
