Skyfront x MAXSUR
Perimeter 8+ LRS
Multi-hour ISR. Long-range command & video. Mission-ready payload flexibility.
When a mission runs longer than your batteries—and farther than your current links—the Perimeter 8+ LRS changes what your team can do. Built on Skyfront’s hybrid gasoline-electric architecture, it delivers long-duration time-on-station, meaningful payload capacity, and long-range options in a rugged multirotor form factor.
MAXSUR is proud to partner with Skyfront to bring Perimeter 8+ LRS to public safety, critical infrastructure, and defense teams that need persistent air support without the overhead of manned aviation. With MAXSUR experience in UAS since 2012 and leadership dating back to 1999, we deliver drones as mission capability—not gadgets.
Why Perimeter 8+ LRS
Endurance that unlocks advantage
Maintain continuity on evolving incidents, reduce coverage gaps from battery swaps, and keep ISR overhead when it matters.
Long-range options
Stand off farther and launch safer. The LRS configuration supports long-range command/video options depending on your setup.
Mission-ready payload flexibility
Configure for EO/IR ISR, comms relay, LiDAR, photogrammetry, or specialized payloads based on your operational needs.
Public Safety: Step Up Capability Without “Big Aviation”
Perimeter 8+ LRS is built for existing drone teams that want to expand from short-duration overwatch into persistent aerial support—the kind of capability typically associated with helicopters or fixed-wing ISR. It also provides a powerful way to augment manned aviation with high endurance coverage.
-
Discreet persistent overwatch with PTZ EO/IR payload options for ISR-style operations
-
Extended incident support for search, perimeter security, barricades, critical incidents, and large event coverage
-
Tactical comms relay to extend wireless coverage across terrain, urban canyons, or degraded infrastructure
-
Decision-grade data via LiDAR and photogrammetry for mapping, documentation, and planning
Defense: Long-Range Missions + Procurement Simplicity
For defense missions, Perimeter 8+ LRS is an excellent option for long range ISR, long-duration time-on-station, and flexible payload integration. It is also Blue UAS certified, which can streamline procurement.
Restricted Option (On Request): Mothership + Wingman Architecture
For qualified defense programs, MAXSUR can support a customized mothership/wingman capability using a hybrid fiber-optic / wireless architecture (Patent Pending). Due to the sensitive nature of this option, details are available only on request.

FAQ
What is the setup time?
With the latest Perimeter 8+ revision featuring folding arms and easy-lock arm mechanisms, typical setup time can be as fast as ~5 minutes from case to flight-ready (team proficiency dependent).
What type of fuel does it use?
The recommended fuel is 91 octane mixed with a 2-stroke oil mix per manufacturer guidance.
Is there extra maintenance with a hybrid drone compared to battery-only drones?
Yes—there is some additional engine-related maintenance, but it’s designed to be minimal and field-friendly. For example, an engine swap is straightforward and can typically be performed with common tools in under 20 minutes.
Do you offer training?
Yes. MAXSUR provides the level of training you need—from basic operator readiness to advanced mission profiles and team tactics. For existing public safety and defense drone teams, training needs are usually minimal and can often be completed in under two days. For teams with no or very light UAS experience, we typically recommend 1–2 week programs to build safe, compliant, mission-ready capability.
Can MAXSUR customize payloads, ground stations, and loadouts?
Absolutely. We can configure EO/IR PTZ ISR payloads, comms relay packages, mapping payloads (LiDAR/photogrammetry), and mission-specific ground control and datalink options to match your operational environment.
Is this a good alternative to manned aviation?
For many mission sets, Perimeter 8+ LRS can augment manned aviation by providing persistent coverage at lower operating cost, and it can serve as a practical alternative when manned air support is unavailable or not warranted for the mission. We recommend a mission-fit assessment to define where it best complements your current aviation and UAS capabilities.
How do I request the restricted mothership/wingman option details?
Request a restricted brief through MAXSUR. Availability is program-dependent, and details are shared on a qualified, need-to-know basis.
