ANAFI Ai

The Parrot ANAFI Ai is a foldable, sub-1 kg professional micro-UAV platform from Parrot (European drone leader), with a military/defense-focused variant called the ANAFI UKR. The civilian ANAFI Ai features 4G LTE connectivity, 48 MP imaging, obstacle avoidance, and autonomous photogrammetry missions, while the ANAFI UKR adds 35x hybrid zoom, RGB+thermal imaging, up to 70-minute flight time (XLR battery), GNSS-denied optical navigation, onboard AI, and hardened cybersecurity for contested environments. The system has seen significant military adoption including NATO/NSPA orders, Finnish Defense Forces, DEA, US Coast Guard (FIFA 2026), British Army DSTL EOD trials, and a major European armored vehicle program. Independent community reports confirm solid real-world performance (obstacle avoidance, video quality, 4G connectivity) but note real-world flight times of 20–25 minutes for the civilian variant versus the 32-minute spec, and poor Parrot customer support responsiveness. The drone performs its ISR/photogrammetry tasks autonomously once deployed, with human operators setting missions and monitoring rather than driving the aircraft through tasks.
