GDU Industrial Drone Solutions: Precision, Performance, and Reliability in the Field
GDU's S220 PRO series represents the next generation of industrial drone systems-built for professionals who require actionable data, long endurance, and dependable performance in demanding environments. Designed from the ground up for public safety, inspection, mapping, and outdoor missions, these aircraft combine powerful imaging with rugged construction and intelligent flight control.
At the heart of the lineup are two core models: the S220 PRO 1K and the S220 PRO 640. Both platforms share the same robust quad-sensor architecture, RTK-ready positioning, and 41-minute flight endurance, differing only in thermal camera resolution. The 1K model offers ultra-detailed 1280 × 1024 thermal output for advanced analytics, while the 640 version provides cost-effective heat detection with 640 × 512 resolution-ideal for general inspection and field surveillance.
Quad-Sensor Architecture for Complete Situational Awareness
Every GDU S220 PRO features an integrated four-in-one payload combining:
- 50 MP wide-angle camera for broad coverage and mapping-grade imagery.
- 48 MP telephoto camera with 10× optical and 160× hybrid zoom for detailed inspections.
- Thermal camera (1K or 640) for detecting heat anomalies or identifying targets through smoke, fog, or vegetation.
- Laser rangefinder capable of accurate 10-1500 m distance measurement for surveying and safety verification.
This combination allows operators to collect optical, thermal, and distance data simultaneously-reducing flight time, increasing efficiency, and eliminating the need to swap payloads mid-mission.
Intelligent Flight Systems and Endurance Engineering
The S220 PRO series is equipped with a high-capacity 8000 mAh intelligent battery delivering up to 41 minutes of flight time, while its 15 km FCC transmission link ensures uninterrupted command and telemetry. The aircraft supports RTK integration for centimeter-level accuracy, essential for surveying, mapping, and infrastructure inspection.
A 720° obstacle avoidance system provides full directional coverage, aided by visual and infrared sensors for safe flight in complex environments. Built to IP43 standards, the airframe resists dust and light rain, ensuring mission continuity in unpredictable conditions.
Advanced AI Recognition and Operational Safety
AI algorithms allow the S220 PRO to automatically recognize and track people up to 2 km away and vehicles up to 6 km, streamlining surveillance and inspection workflows. The integrated system enables object recognition, temperature-based alerts, and precision tracking-all in real time through the onboard processor and ground control interface.
Rugged, Foldable, and Mission-Ready Design
Despite its professional payload suite, the S220 PRO maintains a compact foldable form factor, measuring just 175 × 272 × 148 mm folded. Its carbon-fiber-reinforced arms, quick-release propellers, and modular accessory mounts make it easy to deploy and service in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the GDU S220 PRO 1K and 640?
Both drones use the same quad-sensor architecture, with wide, telephoto, thermal, and laser cameras. The difference lies in the thermal sensor resolution: the 1K model uses a 1280 × 1024 thermal camera, while the 640 model uses a 640 × 512 sensor for more cost-efficient operations.
Is the S220 PRO 640 still a quad-sensor system?
Yes. Like the 1K, the 640 version includes a laser rangefinder in addition to the wide, telephoto, and thermal cameras. It provides full multi-sensor functionality in a lower-resolution thermal configuration.
Does the loudspeaker and spotlight require special hardware?
Yes. The spotlight and loudspeaker are mounted using the ASG-200 expansion (splitter) box, which also requires the RTK module for GNSS positioning. Without RTK, the drone cannot take off when the expansion box is installed.
What's the typical flight time for the S220 PRO?
Both 1K and 640 versions offer up to 41 minutes of flight time per battery under standard payload conditions.
Is the drone RTK-ready?
Yes. The optional RTK module enables centimeter-level positioning accuracy, ideal for mapping, inspection, and repeatable flight paths.
Can the S220 PRO operate in light rain or wind?
Yes. With an IP43 rating and 12 m/s wind resistance, the S220 PRO can handle light rain, moderate wind, and dusty environments typical in field operations.
What is the maximum detection distance for AI recognition?
The onboard AI system detects people at up to 2 km and vehicles at up to 6 km, depending on visibility and environmental factors.
How far can the S220 PRO transmit data?
The aircraft supports a 15 km FCC transmission range, ensuring stable HD video and telemetry for long-distance missions.
