Axon Air Supported Drones (by Class)

Axon Air powered by DroneSense natively supports a wide range of commonly used and sought-after aircraft from DJI, Autel, Parrot. Axon Air also supports other aircraft non-natively (i.e., by a mix of screencasting and in-flight direct data collection and streaming) for an expanding number of non-SDK drones such as the DJI Avata, Skydio, and others.

Because not all drones function the same, and to ensure and prioritize support for advanced features are available on targeted devices, Axon Air divides aircraft into different classes: Class 2 for the most advanced UAS devices, Class 1 for the 'core' set of drones we support, Class N for the sub-250g category of drones with some limited capabilities, and a special group for any device identified as training-only aircraft, Class T. 

Axon Air also allows you to manually manage and track other drones in your fleet that are not currently supported. With our Mobile Streaming and Tracking add-on feature, you can also screenshare the manufacturer's app to DroneSense for many other non-supported drones.

Support for new drones is constantly in development, and in some cases is dependent on software updates from the drone manufacturer. Contact our Support team (help@dronesense.com) or your account representative if you have specific questions about drones not listed below.

Class 2 Drones

Class 2 drones are the most technically complex aircraft to support and have additional enterprise-level functionality and/or more advanced integration requirements from the manufacturer.

Model	Android	iOS	DS Remote
Matrice M30/M30T
Matrice M300 RTK
Matrice M350 RTK
Matrice M200 & M210 (v1 and v2)
Autel EVO Max 4T/4N*	*

* The Evo Max 4T/4N cannot currently connect with Axon Air on aircraft with firmware version 1.8.2.237. We are working with Autel and are dependent on them to address this issue.

Supported Sensors for Class 2 Drones

Axon Air supports the following detachable sensors for use on the M300/M350 and M200/210 Series drones on Android:

* GL 10 requires firmware version 02.07.01.04  ** Z15 support on the M300 is also available on iOS
Class 1 Drones

Class 1 drones often make up the core fleet for a UAS program and reside in the middle ground between advanced functionality and the higher cost of Class 2 and the less expensive (but less capable) Class N drones.

Model	Android	iOS	DS Remote
Mavic 3 Enterprise (3E and 3T)
Mavic Pro & Mavic Pro Platinum
Mavic 2 Series
Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced
Matrice M600
Phantom 4 Series
Autel EVO II Series (v2, v3) (Pro, Dual, Dual 640T)		*
Parrot Anafi, Anafi Thermal, Anafi USA		**

* Autel EVO II V3 support is currently Android-only.  ** Anafi USA GOV Controller is Android-only.

Class N (sub-250g) Drones

Class N (Nano) drones are the small (sub-250g) form-factor drones. While quite capable, they lack native support for some core features such as flight planning. Class N drones are often used for tactical operations.

Model	Android	iOS	DS Remote
Mavic Mini 1, Mini 2, and Air 2S
Mavic Air 1, Air 2, and Mini SE
Mavic Mini 3 and Mini 3 Pro	‡

‡ Support for the Mini 3 requires the RC-N1 controller and the Mini 3 Pro requires the DJI RC-N1 or RC Pro (non-Enterprise) controllers with an Android tablet

Class T Drones

Class T (training-only) drones are pre-designated by your agency and your Axon Air account representative as devices that are only to be used for training activities and therefore charged at a reduced license rate from Class 2, Class 1, and Class N drones.

Class T devices can be any type of drone, and are flagged and tracked in the Axon Air Web portal. Contact Axon Sales to address your agency's specific training needs with Class T drones. 

Mobile Streaming and Tracking for Non-Supported Drones

Axon Air also supports Mobile Streaming and Tracking (MSAT) for several unsupported drones such as the BRINC Lemur with the use of additional hardware, as described in the attached setup guide. Drone telemetry is not available with this configuration, but Ops Hub viewers can see the video feed when using this feature. Click here to learn more about MSAT.

Manually Tracking Non-Supported Drones

Flights conducted with non-supported drones can still be manually entered into Axon Air Web for tracking.
