SN-18
Shivnetra
18-inch tactical ISR quadcopter
An 18-inch heavy-lift ISR platform built around the ZT6 dual-sensor optical pod — 4K day imaging and thermal on one stabilised gimbal, with up to 60 minutes in the air.
Shivnetra is Notoxytech's step up from the Shakti family: an 18-inch composite carbon-fibre airframe with GPS navigation and failsafe, digital video, and a battery pair (10,000 or 15,000 mAh 6S) that stretches endurance to roughly 30 or 60 minutes.
The ZT6 pod is a genuine dual-sensor gimbal, not a fixed camera: an 8 MP Sony 1/2.7-inch day sensor with 6× digital zoom sits beside an uncooled VOx thermal core at 640×512, both feeding a 3-axis stabilised mount with 540° yaw, nose mode and upside-down mode, and reporting temperature per-pixel over the full image, a point, or a box.
The product literature quotes the range two ways on the same sheet — a headline of up to 15 km and a body line of up to 5 km — worth resolving with Notoxytech before this figure goes in front of a customer.

Configurations
All three share the same airframe, spares and ground segment. Changing configuration is a fit, not a new aircraft.
30-MIN PACK
6S 10,000 mAh
Lighter pack for shorter sorties.
60-MIN PACK
6S 15,000 mAh
Extended-endurance pack for persistent standoff.
What is in the box
