EVO MAX 4N Drone: A leader in drone intelligence

The EVO Max 4N brings powerful technologies and advanced autonomy to users. EVO Max 4N evaluates complex environments to create 3D flight paths in real time to avoid unprecedented obstacles. Advanced sensors make flight possible in areas not available for GPS and the incredible new thermal payload unlocks new object identification and tracking scenarios. With a weather-resistant, foldable design, the EVO Max 4N is as portable as it is capable.

Autonomous Route Finding: Autel's Autonomy Engine collects surrounding environmental data and plans 3D flight paths through complex environments such as mountains, forests and buildings. Use cases include rapid 3D scene reconstruction, public safety surveillance, industrial inspection, and surveying.

Navigation in GPS Denied Environment

Advanced sensors allow the EVO Max 4N to navigate inside reinforced structures, underground, or in non-GPS environments.

Accurate object identification and tracking

Based on Autel's AI recognition technology, the EVO Max 4N can automatically identify and lock on different types of targets, such as heat sources, people or moving vehicles, and achieve high-altitude tracking and data collection for law enforcement.

Ultimate obstacle avoidance without blind spots

EVO Max 4N is the only commercial drone that combines traditional binocular vision systems with millimeter wave radar technology. This allows the EVO Max 4N's integrated Autel Autonomy Engine to perceive objects up to 0.5 inches, eliminating blind spots and enabling operation in low light or rainy conditions.

Anti Jam-Anti Interference

The EVO Max 4N uses advanced flight control modules and algorithms specially designed to counter RFI, EMI and GPS spoofing. This allows the EVO Max 4N to fly confidently near power lines, critical structures and complex areas.

A-Mesh 1.0: The drone industry's first mesh networking technology

EVO Max 4N features the new A-Mesh system, which enables autonomous drone-to-drone communication, connection and collaboration.

Strong anti-interference: The EVO Max 4N can communicate seamlessly with other nearby drones, unlike a traditional chain structure. If a single drone fails or exits unexpectedly, the entire system will self-organize independently and continue transmitting critical information.

Beyond Line of Sight Applications: With A-Mesh, multiple aircraft in the vicinity can act as relay points to greatly improve the effectiveness of BVLOS operation.  

Full Fleet Control: Multiple drones can be controlled autonomously by 1 pilot or by a group of pilots simultaneously with or without LTE coverage.

Improved Range: Communication nodes can be placed statically on hills or poles to provide full coverage of an area, or a swarm of drones can provide mobile communication points to extend coverage of the entire group.

Mission-ready payload

The payload integrates a starlight camera, a wide-angle camera, a thermal camera and a laser rangefinder for all critical data capture and decision-making needs.

Autel Enterprise Application Platform

The Autel Enterprise app is designed from the ground up for industrial applications and features a completely new interface for simple and efficient operation. Additional features and semi-autonomous modes maximize the mission capability of the EVO Max 4N.

Smart Functions

3D Map Planning: Plan, create and execute a 3D waypoint mission plan on a 3D map.

Quick Mission: Temporary quick missions can be created while running other missions, and multiple sub-missions can be stacked to improve flexibility.

Mission Replay: With this feature enabled, fly a manual or semi-autonomous mission, or chain multiple missions together. The EVO Max4N will automatically record camera angles and replicate the mission you just flew.

• Multiple Mission Types: The Enterprise application provides various autonomous and semi-autonomous mission plans for public safety, inspection, and surveying.
• Terrain Following: Maintain a relatively constant altitude from the ground for uneven or inclined terrain.
• Rectangular Mission: One-click automatic generation of a rectangular flight area.       
• Automatic mission generation and data capture: Produce routes automatically by adding regional boundary points via points or importing KML files.
• Waypoint Missions: Users can add waypoints for flexible, unstructured flight routes.
• Oblique photography: Automatically plans 5 groups of routes (1 ortho + 4 oblique) according to the flight area set by the user.
• Spiral Mission: Supports searching for helical flights in a designated SAR area.
• Vertical Scanning: Perform vertical surveys for building facades, open-air walls, and towers. 
• Corridor Mission: Supports intuitive and effective corridor mission planning for roads, rivers, pipelines, power lines and other large-scale narrow terrain.

Data Security

• Privacy Protection: User-related data and aircraft information, including flight logs, locations, and account information, can only be physically accessed through the aircraft locally.
• Encrypted Data Storage: Supports AES-256 encryption for photos, videos and flight logs, they are password protected.

Improved Live View

• Multi-channel projection screen: Supports simultaneous output of RGB, infrared, night vision and wide-angle images.
• AR scene: Geolocation data and other aircraft location information detected by ADS-B can be overlaid on a map in real time, which is convenient for users to confirm the location of the drone and avoid risks in the air.

Autel SDK

Autel's SDK project is open to the world, helping developers and partners reduce software and hardware development costs and jointly create a new industry ecosystem. (Note: only Mobile SDK is available at this time, 2 others have not been released yet)
