RangerPortTM

Payload Flexibility Unleashed

RangerPort™ enables the use of third-party payloads in a standalone manner by replicating existing craft PDK resources, including network, GPS, and serial-based communications.
This allows the use of third-party payloads across a broad range of applications, from static deployments to mobile vehicle-based setups or integration into other robotic platforms.

Mission-ready payload flexibility without compromise

Designed for true multi-mission adaptability, Skyranger R70 supports advanced payloads up to 3.5 kg, enabling operators to deploy a wide range of sensors and tools without sacrificing flight performance.
From ISR to specialized operational tasks, this payload capacity empowers both end users and system integrators to tailor the platform to evolving mission requirements—turning one aircraft into a scalable, future-ready solution.

Intelligence at the edge, where it matters most

Equipped with advanced edge-of-network processing, Skyranger R70 delivers real-time object detection and classification directly onboard—reducing reliance on external connectivity.
This enables semi-autonomous operations and ensures mission continuity even in GPS-denied or communication-disrupted environments. Operators gain faster insights, reduced latency, and the confidence to operate in contested and degraded conditions.
