Beyond Vision has unveiled the BVQ418, an AI-driven quadcopter Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) featuring integrated 5G connectivity and edge AI processing, designed for autonomous industrial, emergency response, and tactical logistics missions.
Fully designed and produced by Beyond Vision, the BVQ418 integrates low-latency 5G Command and Control (C2) capabilities to enable real-time data transmission and support Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. The platform also incorporates an NVIDIA GPU, enabling AI processing directly on the drone through edge computing.
Designed for rapid deployment, the multirotor UAV features a compact and modular architecture that allows for quick setup and easy portability. The system is engineered for operation in challenging environments, with weatherproof construction and wind tolerance of up to 70 km/h.
The BVQ418 offers up to 90 minutes of flight endurance, enabling persistent aerial monitoring and inspection operations. As a heavy-lift autonomous UAV, the platform has a Maximum Take-Off Weight (MTOW) of 18 kg and can carry up to two payloads simultaneously, with a combined payload capacity of up to 6 kg.
Performance capabilities include a top speed of 80 km/h. The BVQ418 also possesses a short-range beam width of 112 degrees horizontally and 14 degrees vertically, both forwards and backwards.
According to Beyond Vision, the BVQ418 is designed for applications ranging from critical infrastructure inspection to tactical payload delivery. Through its collaborative autonomous systems and onboard AI capabilities, the UAV is intended to adapt to complex scenarios that traditional drones may struggle to handle.
