GAO’s Short-Range Drones are designed for flights within limited distances, typically ranging from a few hundred meters to a few kilometers. These UAVs often prioritize agility and lightweight construction to navigate tight spaces and perform tasks with precision. Equipped with compact batteries, they offer shorter flight times compared to their long-range counterparts but are ideal for applications like aerial photography, local inspections, and recreational use. Short-range drones frequently feature advanced obstacle avoidance systems and high-definition cameras, providing detailed imagery and enhancing safety. Their limited range makes them well-suited for controlled environments where frequent recharging or battery swaps are feasible, catering to industries such as real estate, agriculture, and small-scale surveying. 

The Short-Range Drones may also be called: – Micro Drones, Mini Drones, Compact Drones, Local Drones, Indoor Drones, and Consumer Drones.
