ANAFI USA

The Parrot ANAFI USA is a compact (~500 g), foldable small UAS manufactured in Boston, Massachusetts by Parrot (headquartered in Paris, France, founded 1994). It is designed for government, military, and first-responder ISR missions, featuring a triple-sensor gimbal (wide-angle, 32x zoom, FLIR Boson thermal), 4K HDR video, IP53 weather resistance, and NDAA/TAA/Blue UAS compliance. The system is fundamentally a remotely piloted aircraft — a human operator flies it via controller — with autonomous flight aids (return-to-home, geofencing, AI subject tracking, waypoint/photogrammetry missions) but no evidence of fully unsupervised autonomous task execution in operational deployments. Independent community reports document significant reliability concerns including gimbal failures in flight, WiFi/control link loss, severely degraded range, crash incidents, and a lack of repair support for the government variant.
