The Elios 3 GOV US Surveying Package is a government‑configured Elios 3 solution designed to support mapping and spatial data collection workflows in enclosed and GPS‑denied environments. This package is supplied for missions that require spatial reference, structured data capture, and repeatable surveying operations in complex indoor spaces. It is intended for teams performing mapping, modeling, and spatial documentation where traditional positioning systems are unavailable or unreliable.

This configuration supports surveying and modeling use cases such as facility mapping, infrastructure documentation, and spatial data collection inside confined or hard‑to‑access environments. Mapping outputs and achievable accuracy depend on the selected payloads, software configuration, and operator‑defined procedures. Supplied for U.S. government and public‑sector procurement, the GOV US Surveying Package is derived from Flyability’s standard Elios 3 offerings and aligns with formal purchasing and contract documentation, with hardware and accessories defined by the underlying package tier.

Elios 3 Gov US Package

Indoor and Confined‑Space Inspection Platform
The Elios 3 GOV US Package is an unmanned aircraft system designed for indoor and confined‑space inspection and data capture workflows. It supports controlled flight in enclosed and GPS‑denied environments, making it suitable for infrastructure, facility, and asset inspections where traditional access is limited or unsafe.

Baseline Elios 3 System Configuration
This package provides the core Elios 3 platform, incorporating a collision‑tolerant airframe and LiDAR‑based stabilization to enable stable operation in complex spaces. It serves as the foundational system for additional inspection, surveying, or sensor‑based configurations, with included components and behavior dependent on the Flyability package tier selected at purchase.

Government Procurement and Compliance Alignment
Supplied in a GOV US procurement configuration, this package is intended for U.S. government and public‑sector acquisition. It is derived from Flyability’s standard Elios 3 offerings and includes NDAA‑ and Blue‑aligned sourcing, configuration controls, and supporting documentation as required for eligible programs, with hardware and accessories defined by formal contract or purchasing documentation.

SLAM-Based Stabilization

Stone-still stability. No matter the conditions.

The all-new SLAM-based stabilization algorithm catches the tiniest unpredictable movements of the drone and instructs the flight controller to compensate for it. This allows for the drone to float in the air still as a stone even in the toughest conditions. With Elios 3, pilots from all skill levels will succeed at performing complex missions with close to no training. 

Flawless locational awareness.

The embedded LiDAR constantly scans the surroundings to build a high-density point cloud map. This map is displayed instantly in the Cockpit App, empowering pilots with exceptional locational awareness. A real-time 3D view of the drone’s trajectory and environment provides crucial data.

Survey the Inaccessible

Survey‑Grade Accuracy

The Surveying Payload combines the high‑resolution Ouster OS0‑128 Rev 7 LiDAR sensor with the FARO Connect SLAM algorithm to generate accurate 3D maps and digital twins of confined and hard‑to‑reach environments. This configuration supports centimeter‑level precision for reliable measurements and detailed spatial analysis.

Improved Mapping Efficiency

For use cases where centimeter‑level accuracy is required, mobile LiDAR scanning provides greater efficiency than traditional surveying methods such as total stations or terrestrial scanners. With a scanning range of up to 100 meters, a point density of 1,310,720 points per second, and the ability to map a 300‑meter tunnel in a single closed‑loop flight, the Elios 3 Surveying Payload significantly reduces the time required for indoor mapping tasks.
