Autel Alpha is an intelligent, multi-purpose industrial drone for public safety, energy inspection, emergency management, and more. Paired with the next-gen DG-L35T gimbal, it integrates a 560x hybrid zoom camera, dual thermal imaging cameras, a visible light wide angle camera, and a laser rangefinder.
* where D represents the distance from the vertical
reflecting surface
Autel Alpha’s GNSS visual positioning capabilities, adaptive frequency-hopping and SLAM navigation technology empowers resistance from interference and enables the drone to fly confidently near powerlines, critical structures and in complex areas.
By integrating multi-source sensor fusion technology, including 5-direction dual fisheye vision + 6-direction millimeter-wave radar, the drone is equipped with wire-level obstacle avoidance and pathfinding capabilities. It can detect minor obstacles like glass, poles, and powerlines. Additionally, it supports nighttime obstacle avoidance for flight safety.
Autel’s Autonomy Engine is continuously improving, enabling functions such as global path planning and 3D scene reconstruction in complex environments. It ofers various obstacle avoidance capabilities, including return-to-home, manual contro, and mision planning, providing a more professional solution for industries such as security, inspection, and surveying.
With integrated A-Mesh networking technology, the drone can establish networks between drones and controllers, supporting various working modes such as ” single-controller multiple drones” and “master-slave dual control”. Even in scenarios with long distances and obstacles, such as mountains, buildings, or areas without network, it can achieve multi-device networking, enabling drone-to-drone autonomous communication, connection, and collaboration.

| Operating Environment | 60G millimeter-wave radar sensing system: Supports all-weather obstacle avoidance for glass, water, wires, buildings, and trees in 6 directions. Its obstacle avoidance distance varies with the obstacle’s ability to reflect electromagnetic waves and its surface size. 24G millimeter-wave radar sensing system: Supports downward sensing, and its sensing range varies by the ground material. For example, the sensing range of cement ground is 20 meters, and the sensing range of grass with a thickness of more than 3 cm is less than 10 meters. |
| Aircraft Version Limitations* | In order to comply with the regulations of the country or region where the target market is located, aircraft bottom millimeter-wave radars in some markets use the 24G frequency band, and the five directions of front, rear, left, right, and top use the 60G frequency band. Among them, the 24G version of the aircraft has turned off the 60G radar function in the five directions of front, rear, left, right, and top in the flight control software before leaving the factory, and only turned on the bottom 24G radar for assisted landing. The 24G version of the aircraft only supports visual obstacle avoidance under good lighting conditions and does not support the millimeter-wave radar obstacle avoidance function at night. |
