The UAV-P300 is an enterprise drone platform powered by AI, designed for clear imaging in fog, reliable day-night operations, and safe autonomous flight across complex environments
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 06, 2026 — — CES — GDU, a professional-grade drone leader established in 2015, announced today the launch of UAV-P300, the world’s first AI-powered optical and electronic fog-penetrating drone. Built for public safety, smart city operations, aerial surveying, and cultural tourism, the UAV-P300 offers 50% clearer visibility in rain or fog, high-performance night capture, and long-range autonomous operation. Its advanced payload options, AI-enhanced navigation, and seamless compatibility with GDU’s auto-docking stations make it a versatile solution for complex field environments.
“GDU has always focused on creating practical, real-world solutions — not just hardware,” said Jie Leng, GDU R&D Director. “With the UAV-P300, we’re providing operators with clearer vision, safer navigation, and reliable performance in environments where accuracy is crucial. Whether it’s supporting public safety teams, assisting cities in monitoring critical infrastructure, or enabling surveyors to work without weather disruptions, the UAV-P300 reflects our commitment to making advanced aerial technology truly useful to those who rely on it.”
The UAV-P300 is designed to support a variety of real-world operations. For first responders, it enhances visibility in critical moments and challenging conditions. Smart city teams can automate routine monitoring with greater consistency, even in changing weather. Surveying professionals benefit from stable, high-detail imaging across diverse terrain. And in cultural tourism settings, the P300 helps document and protect heritage sites with minimal disruption.
Reliable Performance in Fog, Rain, Dust, and Low-Contrast Weather
The UAV-P300 maintains clear visibility when weather conditions change unexpectedly. Its optical, electronic, and AI-driven defogging system increases clarity by up to 50% in rain or fog, allowing public safety and smart city operators to continue missions that usually pause during low-visibility weather. An IP55 ingress protection rating against dust and water further ensures that the UAV-P300 remains mission-ready even if the forecast changes.
Clear Imaging in Day or Night Conditions
The UAV-P300 captures sharp, detailed visuals in bright, low-light, and backlit environments due to its 50MP wide-angle sensor and advanced starlight night-vision system. Even after dark, operators can see essential details through full-color 4K night vision, IRCut switching, and NIR illumination. This makes nighttime assessments, public safety response, and city monitoring much more reliable.
Sharp Long-Range Detail From a Safe Distance
With 11× continuous optical zoom, 176× hybrid zoom, and stabilized gimbal control, the UAV-P300 records distant subjects clearly while maintaining a safe stand-off distance. Teams can observe infrastructure, capture inspection details, or assess emergency scenes without unnecessary risk, improving both safety and operational efficiency.
Thermal Accuracy for Day–Night Monitoring
The drone’s upgraded thermal module provides clean, high-contrast thermal imagery enhanced by AI for better identification and measurement. Heat sources, anomalies, and activity can still be detected in darkness, heavy shadows, or complex surroundings, supporting search-and-rescue, infrastructure checks, and heritage-site monitoring.
Safe and Confident Flight in Complex Environments
The UAV-P300 uses LIDAR and AI-powered obstacle recognition to navigate around structures, cables, and unexpected hazards. This ability supports confident operation in dense urban areas and tight spaces where low-altitude flying is often required for inspections or emergency work.
Stable Operation When GNSS Signals Fail
In areas where GNSS performance is weak, such as tunnels, industrial facilities, or dense city blocks, the UAV-P300 switches to visual SLAM fusion navigation to maintain stable flight and dependable return-to-home behavior. Surveying teams and operators working near interference-heavy environments gain reliable performance without interruption.
Precise Distance and Target Marking for Faster Decisions
The UAV-P300’s 2 km laser rangefinding enables quick pinpointing, marking, and measurement of targets. Operators can capture distance data, highlight key locations, and share information instantly through the UVER platform, improving coordination for emergency response and inspection workflows.
Availability
The UAV-P300 will be available for purchase starting in late January 2026. For order-related inquiries, please contact GDU at +86 755 8656 5514, email: or visit .
