Hélicéo created the DroneBox technology in order to meet the demands of professionals for multiple applications as well as to address the economic challenge of needing multiple types tools. This “Plug & Play” device is adaptable across Hélicéo’s entire range of products, allowing you to perform precision measurement with multiple vehicles and sensors while reducing your investment. The DroneBox, which may be used onboard any Hélicéo vehicle, uses Network Real Time Kinematic (NRTK or RTK) technology, thus providing precision measurement using satellite corrections in real time in order to achieve precision measurement to centimeter accuracy. DroneBox has the following integrated key functions: GNSS geodetic mapping, autopilot, telemetry, archiving, communication, flight controller and avionics.

FoxyPro is a fully automatic VTOL airplane created for long distance photogrammetry surveying. Available with a wingspan of 3 m or 3.5 m, FoxyPro is equipped with a vertical takeoff and landing system (VTOL), allowing it to take off and land on all types of sites. Thanks to its great in-flight stability, FoxyPro has a maximum load of 2 kg, allowing it to carry an HD sensor. With more than an hour of in-flight battery life, FoxyPro is capable of scanning up to 300 ha (741 acres) in a single mission. This drone is made for professionals of the measurement such as surveyors, topographers, archaeologists and responsible for quarries or mines.

FoxyWalk is a platform for easy terrestrial photogrammetry. It is aimed towards surveyors, topographers, architects, archaeologists. It allows the shooting of photos which would be inaccessible from the sky (facades, arches, etc.) and creation of 3D models. Perfect for complementary data acquisition of a drone survey. Terrestrial photogrammetry allows the survey of the shape and dimensions of inaccessible objects, study of deformations and analysis of structural anomalies. It may also be used in determining volumes. Terrestrial photogrammetry applications are varied : Reconstruction of facades, heritage conservation, monitoring structures and sites as well as supplementing aerial surveys and surveys of routes, ditches and open trenches with georeferencing networks (DT-DICT).

FoxBathy is an automatic bathymetric drone catamaran with double electric propulsion, which allows productivity, safety and precision in aquatic surveying. It ensures the safety of the operator, who may remain on the bank thanks to fully automated steering. FoxBathy not only helps in monitoring ports, marinas, sea areas, rivers, creeks, lakes and ponds or lagoons but also helps to identify critical areas or dangerous objects for navigation. Finally, it allows periodic monitoring of siltation and supervision of marine sites by performing calculations of cubatures and editing DTMs (Digital Terrain Models).

Its solid structure and in-flight stability allows its use on a wide variety of sites. Fully automatic, the Fox6 can carry out photogrammetry missions of up to 1.5 km². It is the perfect tool for large scale mapping missions as well as for static work and volume measurements. Thanks to its HD sensor and compatibility with DroneBox RTK, the Fox6 provides high precision for georeferenced photo collages, orthophotos, point clouds and DTMs / DSMs. This drone is made for professionals of the measurement such as surveyors, topographers, archaeologists and responsible for quarries or mines.
