The Elios 3 GOV US UT Package is a government‑configured Elios 3 system designed to support ultrasonic thickness inspection workflows in confined and complex environments. This configuration enables remote data collection for inspection programs where direct personnel access may be limited or restricted, making it suitable for applications such as asset integrity inspections, corrosion monitoring, and structural assessment inside tanks, vessels, and other enclosed infrastructure. The system is built to support controlled inspection workflows using compatible ultrasonic testing payload integrations, with performance dependent on the selected hardware configuration and operator methodology.

This package is supplied for U.S. government and public‑sector procurement and is aligned with Flyability’s standard Elios 3 offerings. It serves as a baseline platform for integrating ultrasonic thickness measurements into inspection and documentation workflows while maintaining flexibility based on the selected package tier. Hardware contents, payload compatibility, and accessories are defined by the underlying commercial configuration unless otherwise specified in formal purchasing or contract documentation, ensuring alignment with program requirements without assuming certifications or agency‑specific approvals.

Elios 3 Gov US UT 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.

Enable remote ultrasonic thickness measurements from a safe distance

Remotely capture A‑scan data in elevated and hard‑to‑access locations

Developed in partnership with Cygnus Instruments, the UT Payload enables the Elios 3 to perform accurate ultrasonic thickness measurements supported by high‑resolution A‑scan data, allowing inspectors to complete regular integrity inspections more efficiently and help reduce unplanned downtime.

Smart Couplant Dispenser – Optimal Ultrasound Coupling

Features a remotely operated couplant dispenser integrated with the probe to deliver controlled gel application for reliable ultrasound transmission, with couplant levels monitored in Cockpit to support timely refills or syringe replacement during inspections.

Location‑Tagged UT Measurements: Provides live 3D data localization to accurately position thickness measurements within the inspected asset.

The Elios 3 can operate the UT Payload alongside the LiDAR payload to precisely localize thickness measurements on a digital representation of the asset during data capture. Combined with the relocalization feature and Cockpit Live Map, location‑tagged UT data helps track inspection coverage and supports clear situational awareness throughout the mission.

Smart Probe Arm

A purpose‑built probe arm designed for precise positioning and controlled contact during ultrasonic thickness measurements.

Versatile Orientation

The Elios 3 UT Payload can be mounted above, in front of, or below the drone, with a configurable probe arm that supports adaptable positioning for thickness measurements across a wide range of inspection locations.

Undisrupted Navigation

The probe arm folds neatly against the drone, allowing passage through narrow manholes and complex spaces without interfering with stable flight.

Laser‑Focused Targeting

The UT payload probe includes an integrated laser pointer to support precise targeting and aiming during flight, enabling quick alignment with the intended measurement location.

Modular Probe Head – IACS‑Compliant Probes for Class Surveys

The Elios 3 UT Payload uses interchangeable probe heads, including 2 MHz, 5 MHz, and 7.5 MHz twin crystal piezo‑composite probes and a 2.25 MHz single crystal probe, to support a wide range of thickness measurement applications. The single crystal multi‑echo probe technology meets IACS special equipment requirements for thickness measurements on ships and mobile offshore units, making it suitable for class surveys and maritime inspections.
