Designed and built by AVID for Alliance Solutions Group, Inc., ArgusElite® is a fully integrated UAS for hazmat response and emergency management.

It is equipped with nine chemical, radiological, and spectral Electro-Optical/InfraRed (EO/IR) sensors that can be used to identify and assess hazardous materials safely, quickly and accurately. The drone is also capable of transmitting live video that provides total situational awareness of the incident area for search and rescue (SAR) operations in difficult terrain, at night, and in hazardous conditions over land or water. 

The ArgusElite® is powered by a ducted fan that isolates the air used for thrust from the surrounding air. This allows placing the sensors outside the duct for direct contact with ambient air, enabling accurate quantification of airborne hazards. The eight-inch ducted fan also enables the vehicle to safely navigate confined areas. The payload is fully integrated with the flight management system and software, ensuring accurate mapping of hazards.

“The ArgusElite® is a game-changer for hazmat response and emergency management, and we are confident that it will make a significant difference in the safety of our ports and communities.” — Bob Campbell, CEO, Alliance Solutions Group, Inc.
