Overview
Infra is a hybrid hydrogen-electric long-endurance platform engineered for the linear assets of the energy economy: high-voltage transmission corridors, gas pipelines, fiber routes, and rail. A 2.0 kWh hydrogen fuel-cell module plus a 12,000 mAh Li-ion buffer delivers up to 120 minutes of mission endurance, enough to cover ~30 km of corridor per sortie with full 4K + thermal + corona-UV imagery.
Mission Profile
- High-voltage transmission line inspection (corona, fault localization)
- Natural-gas and oil pipeline ROW patrols (methane detection option)
- Fiber and rail right-of-way audits
- Wildfire-risk vegetation encroachment surveys
- Long-baseline mapping missions
