A Leader of Drone Intelligence
The EVO Max 4T brings powerful technologies and advanced autonomy to users. EVO Max 4T assesses complex environments to create real-time 3D flight paths for unparalleled obstacle avoidance. Advanced sensors make a flight in GPS-unavailable areas possible and the incredible new thermal payload unlocks new object identification and tracking scenarios. With a foldable, weather-resistant design, the EVO Max 4T is as portable as it is capable.
Autonomous Path Finding
Autel’s Autonomy Engine collects surrounding environmental data and plans 3D flight paths through complex environments such as mountains, forests, and buildings. Use cases include rapid 3D scene reconstruction, public safety overwatch, industrial inspection, and land surveying.
Navigation in GPS Denied Environment
Advanced sensors allow the EVO Max 4T to navigate within hardened structures, underground, or in environments without GPS.
Accurate Object Identification and Tracking
Based on Autel’s AI recognition technology, the EVO Max 4T can automatically identify and lock onto different types of targets such as heat sources, moving people, or vehicles and achieve high-altitude tracking and data collection for law enforcement.
No Blind Spots – Ultimate Obstacle Avoidance
EVO Max 4T is the only commercial drone that combines traditional binocular vision systems
with millimetre wave radar technology. This allows the EVO Max 4T’s onboard Autel Autonomy
Engine to perceive objects down to 0.5 inch, eliminating blind spots and enabling operation
in low light or rainy conditions.
*OA performance varies with drone speed, lighting, and flying conditions and is not meant to replace pilot responsibility.
Anti Jam, Anti Interference
The EVO Max 4T uses advanced flight control modules and algorithms specially designed to counter RFI, EMI, and GPS spoofing. This enables the EVO Max 4T to fly confidently near power lines, critical structures, and in complex areas.
Platform Capability
EVO Max 4T redefines portability with its powerful platform and all weather design.

A-Mesh 1.0 – The Drone Industry’s First
Mesh Networking Technology
EVO Max 4T features the new A-Mesh system, enabling drone-to-drone autonomous communication, connection, and collaboration.
Strong Anti-Interference
The EVO Max 4T can communicate seamlessly with other drones in the vicinity, unlike a traditional chain structure. If a single drone fails or exits unexpectedly, the entire system will independently self-organize and continue to relay critical information.
Beyond-Line-of-Sight Applications
With A-Mesh, multiple aircrafts in the vicinity can act as relay points to greatly improve BVLOS operation effectiveness.
Full-Fleet Control
Multiple drones can be controlled autonomously by 1 pilot or by a group of pilots simultaneously with or without LTE coverage.
Enhanced Range
Communication nodes can be placed statically on hills or poles to provide full coverage to an area, or a swarm of drones can provide mobile communication points to extend the coverage of the entire group.
Autel SkyLink 3.0
The EVO Max 4T SkyLink 3.0 system comes with 6 antennas, 4 frequency bands, AES-256 encryption*, and optional 4G integration* to provide users with the most advanced flight capabilities ever in an EVO.
