Acecore Neo

by Acecore Technologies

The Acecore Neo is a professional-grade octocopter UAV from Acecore Technologies, a Dutch drone manufacturer specializing in high-reliability platforms for critical operations. The Neo's eight-motor design provides true motor redundancy — if any single motor fails in flight, the drone continues flying safely and completes its mission or returns home, a safety feature absent from most quadcopters. This makes the Neo particularly suitable for operations over people, infrastructure, or in environments where a crash is unacceptable. With a 2.5kg payload capacity and 45-minute flight time, the Neo carries heavy sensor packages including professional cinema cameras, full LiDAR scanners, and thermal imaging systems that exceed the capability of consumer-grade drones. The swappable payload bay accepts Sony, DJI Zenmuse, and custom sensor integrations. Acecore Technologies serves public safety agencies, film productions, utility inspection companies, and research institutions across Europe and internationally. At $12,000–$20,000, the Neo is positioned as a professional tool rather than a consumer product.
