Inspired Flight IF1200A Hexacopter: Mission-Ready Power for Industrial and Government Operations

The Inspired Flight IF1200A is a heavy-lift commercial hexacopter engineered to meet the demands of high-stakes aerial missions.

Whether you're conducting utility inspections, emergency response, or defense reconnaissance, this NDAA-compliant drone delivers elite performance in a compact, durable frame.

Key Features

  • 43-minute max flight time using 16000mAh batteries
  • SAFE drone system enables safe landing during motor failure
  • Blue UAS and NDAA compliant for federal agency deployment
  • Dual GPS and FPV camera for real-time situational awareness
  • Supports a wide variety of payloads including EO/IR and LiDAR
  • Top speed of 56 mph with wind resistance up to 23 knots
  • Manufactured and supported in California, USA

With up to 43 minutes of flight time, a 19.1 lb payload capacity under Part 107, and wind resistance up to 23 knots, the IF1200A is one of the most capable platforms available for mission-critical operations.

At the heart of the IF1200A is its SAFE drone system, which provides advanced flight redundancy. In the event of a motor failure, the drone transitions seamlessly into a safe manual mode and alerts the pilot to land.

Built-in dual GPS, real-time FPV, and multiple flight modes-including Position Hold, Loiter, Auto, and Return-to-Launch-ensure precise control in even the most dynamic environments.

Its payload interface supports a wide variety of EO/IR, LiDAR, and optical imaging sensors, allowing seamless integration for specialized field applications.

Trusted Compliance, Proven Capability

As an NDAA-compliant drone, the IF1200A gives operators confidence that the entire system is built from approved, secure components.

This reduces risk in sensitive environments, supports long-term parts availability, and ensures compatibility with government standards for UAVs. For agencies with strict procurement rules, the IF1200A provides immediate alignment with required regulations.

Its Blue UAS listing elevates that advantage even further. Because it has passed rigorous DoD vetting, the IF1200A enters missions with proven trustworthiness and minimized administrative barriers. 

Users gain a drone that is not only powerful and capable but also pre-approved for federal and enterprise workflows.

Applications

  • Utility and powerline inspections
  • Government surveillance and reconnaissance
  • High-resolution LiDAR scanning and mapping
  • Emergency medical delivery and disaster response
  • Precision photogrammetry and geospatial modeling
  • Infrastructure, telecom, and bridge assessment

With its combination of powerful hardware and intuitive control, the IF1200A maximizes productivity, safety, and adaptability. It's the go-to solution for agencies and operators who demand endurance, capacity, and compliance in one streamlined platform.
