INTELLCAP, through its startup INFINIUM Aerospace, is developing innovative UAV concepts (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) dedicated to diverse domains of activity, leveraging AI, using light and robust materials, advanced sensors and avionics, with agility, high autonomy, and reliability: INFINIUM is featuring its X Multimission VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) UAV; a hybrid design, combining the advantages of fixed-wing aircraft for efficient forward flight and multi-rotor drones for vertical lift and hovering capabilities.

Airframe/fuselage:

• Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite airframe for high strength-to-weight ratio and damage tolerance.
• Optimized aerodynamic design for efficient cruise flight and maneuverability.
• Modular payload bays to accommodate different mission equipment.

Propulsion:

• Electric distributed propulsion system with multiple redundant motors and propellers.
• High energy density batteries and/or hybrid fuel cell/battery system for extended endurance.

Avionics:

• Redundant flight control computers with advanced autopilot capabilities.
• Inertial navigation system integrated with GPS for accurate positioning.
• Sense-and-avoid system with multiple sensors (cameras, radar, LiDAR) for obstacle detection.

Sensors:

• High-resolution optical and infrared cameras for aerial imaging/surveillance.
• Multispectral/hyperspectral sensors for environmental monitoring.
• LiDAR and photogrammetry payloads for 3D mapping and surveying.

AI Capabilities:

• Onboard AI processing units for real-time data analysis and decision making.
• Computer vision and machine learning for object detection, tracking, classification.
• Path planning and autonomous navigation leveraging AI and sensor data fusion.
• Predictive maintenance using sensor data and machine learning models.

Key Features:

• High level of autonomy with ability to execute complex missions with minimal human supervision.
• Redundant critical systems for enhanced reliability and fault tolerance.
• All-weather capability through advanced sensors and ruggedized design.
• BVLOS (beyond visual line-of-sight) operations enabled by sense-and-avoid and communications links.
• Modular payloads to support diverse applications like inspection, delivery, search & rescue, etc.

This AI-powered UAV would combine cutting-edge materials, propulsion, avionics and sensor technologies to deliver a highly capable, autonomous and versatile aerial platform suitable for a wide range of commercial, industrial, scientific and humanitarian applications requiring high reliability and performance.
