eBee TAC Public Safety

Blue UAS registered

Public safety drone

Carried in a backpack, operated by one person, and deployed in 3 minutes, eBee TAC Public Safety is a photogrammetry drone that provides 2D, 3D and thermal aerial data over large areas.

Specially designed for public safety

Features

First responders mapping solution

Validated cyber-secure

90 minutes flight time

Efficiently map up to 500 ha / 1,235 ac while flying at 120 m / 400 ft.

With a flight time of 90 minutes and a flight range of 55 km / 34 mi, eBee TAC Public Safety can cover large and inaccessible areas.

Takeoff weight 1.6 kg / 3.5 lbs

Thanks to its lightweight, eBee TAC Public Safety, can be safely operated under many regulatory frameworks. Moreover, it has the best ratio energy/MTOW compared to heavier VTOL drones, offering better energy efficiency.

3D, RGB, multispectral and thermal cameras

eBee TAC Public Safety is compatible with a wide range of interchangeable photogrammetry cameras that capture reliable aerial imagery – from 3D models to orthomosaics – to suit every mapping job.

1.5 cm / 0.6 in accuracy

With the RTK / PPK optional software, the public safety drone achieves an absolute accuracy down to 1.5 cm / 0.6 in, without ground control points (GCPs).

Remote ID, C2 and C6

We have anticipated upcoming drone regulatory frameworks in the U.S. and Europe by having the eBee TAC Public Safety ready with Remote ID identification system approved by the FAA.

Why eBee TAC Public Safety

Fully operational solution

North America

eBee drones are the only approved UAVs to fly Operations Over People (OOP) in the U.S.

Canada OOP approved
Approved to run Operations Over People (OOP) in Canada.

Europe

C2 certified
Operators free to fly 30 meters from uninvolved people.

BVLOS & OOP simplified
C6 certified for BVLOS Standard Scenarios and simplified SORA approval process thanks to M2 Ground Risk Mitigation.

Remote ID

Approved by the FAA
eBee TAC Public Safety has Remote ID identification system approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States.

Safety tests

Safety impact tests performed to demonstrate operational safety around people

Free from hard front plastic parts and no front-facing motor

Flight planning software integrates fail-safe protocols

Live air traffic awareness with Ping USB accessory

Blue UAS registered by U.S. DoD

eBee TAC Government and Public Safety are the first fixed-wing approved drones to be added to the Blue UAS Cleared List by the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) for procurement by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and government agencies without an DoD exception to operate.

Easy to use

Operated by one person

Easy to use, easy to train. eBee TAC Public Safety can be operated by one person.

Rugged transport case

Easily transported in a rugged transport case suitable for many weather conditions.

Easy maintenance

Maintained without requiring external support.

3 minutes deployment

Standalone and PPK deployment, 3 minutes. With RTK, 10 minutes.

eMotion

Flight management software

Easy to use, with advanced features. All the functionality you need to collect and manage geospatial data to act with precision.

“Being able to adjust or change the flight plan with eMotion during the flight is one of the most valuable features to us. For example, we recently had to do a mission with our eBee TAC near an aid and rescue helicopter that had 7 minutes to take off in case of an emergency. With eMotion, we were able to clear the helicopter flight area in a couple of minutes, avoiding any potential risk.”

Proven reliability

eBee TAC is purpose-built for the mapping demands of public safety applications to improve mission effectiveness in a variety of terrains.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) drone registration data confirms that the eBee is the most used fixed-wing drone in the United States.

Rugged and durable solution

Drone underbody skin made of durable Curv® Polypropylene thermoplastic composite. A shock-absorbent construction that endures continuous linear landings without damaging the drone, even in harsh terrain.

eBee TAC Public Safety has a modular design that allows easy maintenance and fast repairs in the field.

NDAA compliant

eBee TAC is compliant to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of the U.S. federal law, an essential requirement to prevent maliciously hacking.

The drone components, hardware and software, are not from any of the blacklisted companies or countries, and the connectable solution has been proven cyber-secure.

Post-processing compatibility

Once the data is collected by the drone, the images are post-processed with a wide range of compatible software to generate the 2D and 3D maps.

What our users say

eBee TAC Public Safety reviews

“It is the only collection platform organic to SFABs and has proven a critical enabler for tactical advise and assist efforts.”

Us Army

SFAB, United States

“We have a quadcopter, but it doesn’t fit our requirements. We need much more coverage to map large areas, and we get that with the eBee TAC and the S.O.D.A. 3D camera. So for us, eBee has no competition. It is the only drone that allows us to do our work and get the outputs we need.”

French land army

“There’s been a gap in situational awareness knowledge in the defense and disaster relief sectors for many years now. Other UAVs, like small planes or satellites, cannot capture as many details as a drone, which puts operators at a disadvantage in the field.”
