    Doodle Labs Performance Optimization Guide: Drone at 10 km

    Webpage to PDF

    We’ve developed our Doodle Labs Performance Optimization Guides to shed light on how specific Doodle Labs customers are achieving peak performance at particular ranges and use-cases.

    The following configuration data was provided by a Doodle Labs customer based on results achieved during real field testing. As with the use of any radio technology, unique environmental challenges may require alternative configurations to achieve similar results.

    Drone Description:

    This drone was developed for the DoD and is meant to be launched organically by a single solider. It fits into a rucksack and supports integrations with sensors, payloads and other technologies. The UAS is used for an array of missions, including signals intelligence, targeting and identification, direct effects and the delivery of supplies.
