Parrot's ANAFI Ai is a 4G-connected professional micro-UAV quadcopter (launched June 2021), marketed as the first 4G-connected robotic UAV, with the Air SDK for onboard autonomous-mission code. It is a professional/commercial drone from the European (French) maker rather than a defense system. Its autonomy is operator-deployed: the Air SDK lets developers run autonomous-mission code onboard, but the aircraft is flown and tasked by an operator, not fully autonomous. DEPLOY records no reviewed consumer price on file; it is at production maturity.
