ZIYAN F15 Electric Unmanned Helicopter for Maritime Inspection

2026-02-11

Maritime inspection drone — that’s what you’re really looking for.

Not another brochure.
Not another “innovative platform”.

You’re asking:

  • How do I monitor vessels without sending people into rough seas?

  • How do I collect real evidence of illegal discharge?

  • How do I patrol ports daily without burning fuel budgets?

  • How do I respond fast when something goes wrong offshore?

We asked the same questions.
That’s why we built the F15.


Why Traditional Maritime Inspection Fails

Let’s be honest.

Patrol vessels are slow.
Fuel is expensive.
Weather doesn’t care about your schedule.

And when violations happen?

It’s usually:

  • At night

  • Offshore

  • In poor visibility

  • Far from your patrol route

That’s when you need aerial coverage.
Stable.
Fast.
Repeatable.

This is where a maritime UAV changes the game.


Maritime Inspection Drone Built for Wind, Salt and Long Missions

The ZIYAN F15 electric unmanned helicopter isn’t a hobby drone.
It’s industrial.
Built for maritime inspection, port surveillance and offshore monitoring.

Here’s what matters:

Up to 100 minutes endurance
So you don’t land every 20 minutes.

Up to 100 km range
Cover coastal waters and near-offshore zones in one mission.

Beaufort scale 8 wind resistance
Because the sea is rarely calm.

Stable low-altitude hover
Perfect for vessel inspection and escort missions.

Electric propulsion
Lower operating cost.
Lower maintenance.
Less noise.

If you’re inspecting:

  • Ports

  • Shipping lanes

  • Anchorages

  • Offshore wind farms

  • Oil & gas platforms

  • Coastal infrastructure

This platform was built for that.


What You Can Actually Do With This Maritime UAV

We don’t sell “capability”.
We solve problems.

With the F15 maritime inspection drone, you can:

Routine Maritime Patrol

Cover shipping channels and port areas daily.
Increase inspection frequency without increasing budget.

Vessel Compliance Checks

Zoom in on:

  • Vessel names

  • Draft marks

  • Load lines

  • Structural anomalies

Without boarding.

Illegal Discharge Detection

Use EO/IR sensors to:

  • Capture black smoke evidence

  • Monitor suspicious discharges

  • Document violations clearly

No shaky footage.
No legal doubt.

Search and Rescue (SAR)

Thermal camera.
Wide-area scan.
Fast response.

Minutes matter offshore.

Accident Scene Documentation

Arrive first.
Capture aerial mapping data.
Send live video to command.

Better decisions.
Faster response.


Sensor Configuration for Maritime Inspection Drone Operations

The F15 supports modular payloads for maritime surveillance.

Multi-Sensor EO/IR Gimbal

  • High-resolution zoom camera

  • Wide-angle situational camera

  • Thermal imager for night operations

  • Laser rangefinder for accurate positioning

Day or night.
Clear evidence.

Searchlight

For night inspection and SAR missions.
Focused beam.
Long throw.

Digital Voice Broadcast

Warn vessels remotely.
Issue instructions.
Support enforcement safely.


Real-World Impact: What Changes After Deployment?

Here’s what typically happens:

  • Patrol coverage increases

  • Vessel response time decreases

  • Evidence quality improves

  • Crew exposure to risk drops

  • Fuel costs shrink

One maritime authority told us:

“Before, we hesitated to deploy in strong wind.
Now we launch.
Hover.
Collect evidence.
Done.”

That’s the difference between theory and field-ready systems.


Cost vs Traditional Patrol Assets

Compare it directly.

Crewed patrol vessel

  • High fuel consumption

  • Large crew requirement

  • Slow deployment

  • Expensive maintenance

F15 Maritime Inspection Drone

  • Electric energy cost

  • 1–2 operators

  • Rapid launch

  • Lower lifecycle cost

You’re not replacing vessels.
You’re multiplying capability.


Data, AI and Ground Integration

This isn’t just a flying camera.

The F15 provides:

  • Real-time HD video downlink

  • Secure data storage

  • Flight telemetry tracking

  • Optional AI-assisted vessel recognition

  • Pollution and anomaly detection support

You see what’s happening.
When it happens.


Who Is This Maritime Inspection Drone For?

  • Maritime authorities

  • Port operators

  • Coast guard units

  • Offshore energy companies

  • Coastal infrastructure operators

If you manage maritime risk, this system is built for you.


FAQs – Maritime Inspection Drone

1. Can the F15 operate in strong offshore wind?

Yes.
It supports Beaufort scale 8 wind resistance, making it suitable for demanding coastal conditions.

2. How long can it stay airborne?

Up to 100 minutes depending on payload configuration.

3. Is it suitable for night operations?

Yes.
Thermal imaging and searchlight integration support full night maritime inspection.

4. What is the advantage over multirotor drones?

Longer endurance.
Better wind tolerance.
More stable hover near vessels.

5. Can it integrate into existing maritime command systems?

Yes.
It supports real-time data transmission and can integrate with command and control workflows.


Why We Built This Maritime Inspection Drone

We didn’t design the F15 for marketing slides.
We built it for real maritime operations.

Wind.
Salt.
Long patrol cycles.
Legal evidence.

If you’re looking for a maritime inspection drone that performs offshore — not just on paper — the ZIYAN F15 is engineered for that exact mission.
