The Parrot ANAFI USA Gov Edition is a specialized small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) tailored for U.S. government agencies and other sensitive operations. Based on Parrot’s Short-Range Reconnaissance (SRR) drone for the U.S. Army, this platform delivers high-end security, robust data encryption, and industry-leading imaging features. Manufactured in Massachusetts, USA, it meets strict government standards and aligns with the EU’s GDPR for data protection.
Equipped with a stabilized x32 zoom and a FLIR thermal sensor, ANAFI USA Gov Edition provides mission-critical aerial intelligence in a wide range of scenarios—whether it’s firefighting, search & rescue, law enforcement, or inspection. At only 500 g (1.1 lb), it can be deployed in under 55 seconds, operates indoors or out, and offers end-to-end encryption of flight data. The result is a compact, powerful drone designed to keep pace with the urgent demands of federal, state, and local government users.
Key Features
- Trusted Gov Edition Platform: Engineered to meet U.S. government requirements; fully NDAA-compliant and part of the Defense Innovation Unit’s (DIU) Blue sUAS program.
- Stabilized x32 Zoom + FLIR Thermal: Blend and compare optical and thermal feeds for detailed situational awareness in all lighting conditions.
- Rapid Deployment: Ready to fly in under 55 seconds, including secure radio link setup—ideal for urgent missions.
- Compact & Portable: Folds down to a minimal footprint at just 500 g; easily launched from the hand or a tight space.
- Advanced Security: Onboard AES-XTS 512-bit encryption, WPA2-encrypted link, and signed firmware ensure data remains secure and private.
- Easy Indoor Flight: Takes off without GPS and navigates in confined spaces, letting operators move seamlessly between indoor and outdoor environments.
- Extended Flight Time: Up to 32 minutes of flight per battery and wind resistance up to ~15 m/s for operational reliability.
- Open Ecosystem & SDK: Fully compatible with Parrot’s FreeFlight 6, plus third-party enterprise software (Pix4D, DroneSense, Survae, etc.).
Stabilized x32 Zoom & Thermal Imagery
The ANAFI USA Gov Edition features an advanced dual EO camera system, each 21 MP, combined with a FLIR Boson thermal sensor for powerful x32 zoom capabilities. By blending the visible and thermal outputs, operators can pinpoint hotspots while retaining crucial visual context—detecting objects and heat signatures from significant distances. This is invaluable for firefighting (identifying hotspots), search & rescue (locating missing persons), or infrastructure inspection (finding faults in power lines or solar panels).
Parrot achieves outstanding stability in zoomed-in views through hybrid stabilization: a 3-axis gimbal plus 3-axis digital image processing. Even at maximum 32× zoom, the feed remains crisp and steady, enabling precise observation of objects up to 5 km away. Meanwhile, the thermal sensor helps detect subtle temperature variations for situational awareness both day and night.
Easy to Operate
Designed with first responders and other professionals in mind, ANAFI USA Gov Edition can be airborne in less than 55 seconds—from unfolding the drone and powering on, to establishing a secure connection and taking off. This quick start process is ideal for urgent call-outs or rapidly evolving mission environments.
With no enforced geofencing, the drone can launch from practically anywhere. Operators can also perform hand launches and landings, or deploy the drone indoors without GPS. Its exceptionally low acoustic signature (~79 dB at 50 cm altitude) reduces noise pollution and helps maintain operational discretion when needed.
Trusted & Secure - ANAFI USA Gov Edition
Security is paramount for government and defense missions. ANAFI USA Gov Edition safeguards data using AES-XTS 512-bit encryption for recordings on the microSD card, so all footage remains unreadable without the decryption key. The WPA2-encrypted Wi-Fi link ensures secure communication between drone and controller, preventing interception or tampering. Signed firmware protects against unauthorized software modifications.
Parrot embraces open standards (Wi-Fi, WPA2, RTP/RTSP, H.264, GUTMA) for interoperability and transparency. No data is uploaded unless users explicitly opt in. By default, flight logs remain local, and any cloud-based storage is optional. This data management approach aligns with the EU’s GDPR, ensuring high privacy standards for operators handling sensitive information.
New Flight Features
ANAFI USA Gov Edition offers an extended set of features designed to meet specialized mission requirements:
- Software-Unlocked Maximum Ascent Speed: Reach up to 6 m/s for rapid altitude changes.
- LED Light Controls: Disable onboard lights for stealth or night operations.
- Customizable or Disabled RTH: Fine-tune or disable Return-to-Home to maximize range or flight time.
- Dynamic Mapping Support: Import KML and TMS map tiles for mission-specific overlays and up-to-date situational awareness.
- Takeoff from Moving Vehicles: Launch from a boat or truck in motion, enabling advanced maritime or convoy operations.
- External Antenna Options: Connect an external antenna for enhanced reception, especially in in-vehicle or congested environments.
- Cursor on Target: Tap a spot on the controller’s screen to get precise coordinates for that point of interest.
- Skycontroller USA RJ45/LAN Port: Wired network connectivity for direct data streaming or integration with third-party systems.
Software Ecosystem
Thanks to an open-source SDK and industry-standard protocols, ANAFI USA Gov Edition seamlessly integrates with a broad ecosystem of enterprise tools and partner solutions. Operators can use:
- Pix4Dreact: Rapid offline 2D mapping from captured images, crucial for public safety or disaster response.
- Survae: A dynamic platform that connects video, images, and sensor data to interactive maps and timelines for advanced search or analysis.
- DroneLogbook: Centralized compliance and fleet management.
- Kittyhawk & DroneSense: Enterprise-grade UAS fleet management, flight logging, and real-time incident response coordination.
- Planck AeroSystems: Advanced autonomous flight features like landing on moving vehicles or vessels
These partnerships, combined with Parrot’s ongoing commitment to open standards, make the Gov Edition a future-proof, evolving platform for demanding professional use-cases.
Enhanced EO/IR System for Day & Night
ANAFI USA Gov Edition combines high-resolution RGB sensors with a FLIR Boson 320 thermal camera for round-the-clock situational awareness. The telephoto lens (1/2.4” CMOS) supports stealthy observation through a stabilized 32× zoom, while the wide-angle lens covers broader surroundings. Meanwhile, the thermal unit scans at 50° HFOV, detecting temperature variations from -10°C to +150°C.
This integrated EO/IR approach allows teams to gather accurate intelligence under any condition—daylight, low-light, or complete darkness. Operators can record both visible and thermal video simultaneously in up to 720p for IR footage and 4K HDR for visible, then instantly replay, edit, or overlay the data on their mobile device.
Rugged & Compact All-Mission Platform
Built to IP53 specifications, ANAFI USA Gov Edition withstands rain, dust, and harsh environmental conditions. It operates in winds up to 14.7 m/s and endures temperatures from -36°C to +50°C—crucial for first responders or deployed teams in extreme climates.
Despite weighing just 500 g, the drone offers a best-in-class 32-minute flight time per battery and can be stored or deployed within seconds. With powerful motors and efficient propeller design, the Gov Edition maintains stable flight and minimal acoustic footprint, ensuring discreet and long-endurance missions.
ANAFI USA is part of the Defense Innovation Unit’s (DIU) Blue sUAS program, originally developed for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Today, it's widely used and trusted by public safety, government agencies, defense organizations, first responders, and enterprise professionals around the globe.
