Inspired Flight IF800 TOMCAT – Medium-Lift Quadcopter is the U.S.–built, Green UAS- and NDAA-compliant workhorse for teams that demand secure data, long endurance, and true field portability. Lifting up to 6.6 lb / 3.0 kg for as long as 54 minutes, TOMCAT delivers proven performance without the logistics burden of heavy-lift rigs or the security concerns of foreign platforms.
Portable. Deployable. Dependable.
Key Features:
- 54 min max flight time (light-ship)
- Dual hot-swappable IB388 smart batteries
- Green UAS & NDAA compliant – U.S. built & supported
- 49 mph top airspeed for rapid transits
- 6.6 lb / 3.0 kg payload capacity
- IP43 environmental protection
Purpose-built for enterprise operators, public-safety teams, and first responders, the IF800 TOMCAT delivers long-endurance lift in a compact airframe that folds to just 14.2 × 17.3 × 7.9 in (360 × 440 × 200 mm). Precision engineering, open-architecture controls, and U.S. supply-chain security position TOMCAT as the leading American alternative to DJI’s M300-class drones—trusted where data sovereignty and mission uptime matter most.

Endurance You Can Count On
Dual IB388 batteries keep TOMCAT aloft for up to 54 minutes light-ship or 40 + minutes with real-world payloads like a Gremsy VIO or Sentera 65R—plus ample reserve for a safe return. Hot-swap packs let crews change batteries without shutting down, shaving turn-around time to seconds.
Situational Awareness in Real Time
An integrated low-light FPV camera feeds live visuals to the GCS, helping pilots thread obstacles, verify target alignment, and maintain spatial awareness when the primary payload is pointed elsewhere.
Field-Ready, Single-Case Mobility
TOMCAT’s carbon frame folds, landing gear detaches, and everything—including controller, batteries, and sensors—fits a wheeled SKB hard case with retractable handle. One person can roll the full kit from truck bed to take-off point in a single trip.
Smart Power for Demanding Missions
IB388 packs feature on-board cell balancing, cycle tracking, NFC status read-out, and a 500-cycle design life. The batteries communicate health and State-of-Charge directly to the aircraft and IGC, minimizing guesswork and maximizing air time.
Inspired Care Plans
Annual Inspired Care coverage adds pilot training, discounted spares and labor, priority tech support, and rapid aircraft replacement after a crash—protecting both uptime and budget over the drone’s five-year life cycle.
Ground Control Stations
GS-One GCS
The GS-One pairs powerful, NDAA-compliant hardware with a bright 7 in, 2 000 nit touchscreen so crews can plan missions and fly the IF800 TOMCAT under full sun or in the cab of a vehicle. A built-in 2.5 mi (4 km) video-and-telemetry link, LTE, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth keep pilots connected, while Android 14 and a Qualcomm 6490 processor run Inspired Ground Control (IGC) and third-party apps without lag. Tool-free, hot-swappable batteries deliver four hours per pack, and an IP55 housing shrugs off dust and rain—ideal for construction sites, disaster zones, and utility corridors.
- Sunlight-readable 7 in display + nine programmable tactile buttons
- Quad-band connectivity: point-to-point RF, LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

What is Inspired Flight primarily known for?
Inspired Flight is known for building ruggedized, workhorse aerial systems. The build quality and reliability of its aircraft provide for extended lifetimes, projected over 5 years, protecting your investment for years to come.
Do Inspired Flight aircraft come equipped with Remote ID?
Yes. All Inspired Flight systems that are configured with a Herelink GCS come with Remote ID pre-installed per FAA guidelines.
Can Inspired Flight aircraft be checked on commercial aircraft?
Yes, but batteries will need to be shipped via ground shipping.
What camera do you recommend for inspection?
Inspired Flight’s most popular sensor is the Workswell WIRIS Enterprise camera. This EO/IR package combines a 640 × 512 radiometric thermal core, 30× optical-zoom RGB, 16 MP wide RGB, and a 1 500 m laser range-finder—plus bundled thermography software.
Are Inspired Flight aircraft RTK or PPK enabled?
Inspired Flight aircraft are enabled to receive RTK corrections out of the box. PPK capability is available for an additional cost, as the standard receivers onboard the aircraft cannot log and record correction data.
What is the safe operating temperature range for the IF800 Tomcat and its IB388 batteries?
Both the airframe and the smart batteries are rated for –10 °C to 45 °C (14 °F – 113 °F). Fly and store the system within this envelope for optimal performance and safety.
How much wind can the IF800 Tomcat handle?
The aircraft is tested for sustained winds up to 25 mph (40 km/h) with gusts to 31 mph (50 km/h), corresponding to Beaufort 6 conditions.
What is the maximum payload capacity?
The Tomcat carries up to 3 kg / 6.6 lb of payload while staying within its 11.6 kg (25.7 lb) MTOW limit.
Are the IB388 batteries hot-swappable?
Yes. The intelligent IB388 packs can be swapped one-at-a-time without shutting down the aircraft or payload, enabling continuous operations.
How do I hot-swap batteries in the field?
1. With the aircraft hovering or on the ground, remove one depleted pack while the other stays installed.
2. Insert a fully-charged pack and verify its green blinking status LED.
3. Repeat the process for the second battery, then confirm both packs report healthy status in IGC before continuing flight.
What items should be on my pre-flight checklist?
Key points include: landing gear locked, arms latched, prop locks removed, batteries at the same charge level and secured, communication link established, HDOP < 0.7, and a clear launch area.
