This innovation allows the Trio to hover for up to two hours with extremely low energy consumption, vastly exceeding the typical flight times of most conventional drones. This capability makes it ideal for extended missions such as surveillance, patrolling, perimeter protection, and monitoring of critical environments.

Weighing only 3.5 kg, the Trio is built from carbon fiber, providing strength and lightness. Its removable arms simplify assembly and transportation. In terms of sensors, the drone is equipped with a 20x optical zoom camera, thermal imaging, anti-collision system, and an autonomous takeoff and landing module — features that make it a highly effective tool for professional operations.
