PARACHUTE RECOVERY SYSTEM
The result of more than 8 years of research and innovation, the Kronos M3D systems for DJI Matrice 3D/3TD (Dock 2) is designed to offer professional drone operators safety solutions that are quick to implement, easy to re-use with POD system and comply with the latest European standards published by the EASA (MOC 2512 (M2) / MOC 2511).
DJI DOCK 2 compatible
Kronos M3D Parachute Recovery System (PRS) is compatible with use of the DJI Dock 2 for automated flight missions performed with DJI Matrice 3D / 3TD drone. The Parachute Recovery System (PRS) has been designed to be totally autonomous once installed: direct connection to the drone, automatic start-up, autonomous activation thanks to take-off & landing detection technology.
CLIP, LOCK & FLY !
Dronavia is proud to introduce its new POD system, integrated into Kronos M3D Parachute Recovery Systems. After deploying the parachute, the operator simply unscrews the old POD and then screws a new POD onto the parachute system. This simplified rearming process ensures that operators can safely take off again in just a few minutes, without compromising their flying missions.
completely autonomous
To reduce activation time and increase the chances of avoiding a crash and accident, Kronos M3D Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) incorporate an autonomous deploiement technology. This module deploy the parachute in less than 0.27 seconds, compared with around 3 seconds for a human trigger.
Unlimited autonomy
PARA² technology / 3rd generation of ultra-light canopies
Ultra-fast installation
Easy to dismantle and transport
Autonomous deployment system
Equipped with new autonomous deployment technology (mandatory for MOC 2512 (M2) compliance), Kronos PRS and FTS activate automatically in less than 0.27 seconds in the event of a problem. This is a significant reduction compared with the average human time of 3 seconds, and also enables a considerable reduction in the drone’s impact energy (21 joules compared with 1177 joules on the Kronos I3 system for DJI Inspire 3).
A soft & controlled landing
The new PARA² canopies used in Kronos parachute systems are the result of 3 years of development. Their innovative, ultra-light design and unique construction give PARA² canopies superior efficiency and stability.
The fall rate is minimised in relation to the canopy surface. Each Kronos parachute is designed so that the canopy(s) keep the drone as flat as possible during its fall in order to minimise damage on impact.
EASA MOC M2 compliance
EASA has published a new proposed means of compliance for systems installed on drones to reduce ground impact in the event of a crash. The document is aimed at drone operators who are considering fitting a drone with a parachute or demonstrating that the drone has a feature that reduces its impact energy in the event of a crash. The document is also intended for drone manufacturers and manufacturers of mitigation systems (parachute recovery systems).
The MOC 2512 (M2) designates the level of robustness required for the safety system in the event of the drone losing control and falling to the ground.
Depending on the level of robustness, a correction value can reduce or increase the GRC. The more effective the measures, the higher the correction value and the lower the GRC. If the final GRC is greater than 7, it is not possible to request a SORA.
The assessment of the ground risk class (GRC) is covered by stages 2 and 3 of the SORA. The first step covers the definition of the intrinsic GRC, which is the initial level of ground risk, while the second covers the mitigation measures that can be applied to reduce the risk and achieve the final GRC.
Black box for analysing flight logs
A time-stamped log system is built into the Kronos M3D parachute. It records the triggering actions performed by the user for diagnostic purposes. These logs can be analysed by Dronavia and sent on request.
Patented & efficient CO2 triggering device
Numerous tests and successive improvements have brought this CO2 system to levels of reliability never before achieved on a Parachute Recovery Systems. The pressurized gas (60 bars!) is released in a fraction of a second to propel the parachute canopy out of its container.
The excess gas released (each cartridge contains several dozen litres) is used to accelerate the deployment of the canopy and minimise the loss of altitude when the parachute is triggered.
For exemple, with the Kronos I3 parachute system, the fall speed for a mass of 4 kg is only 3.24 m/s, i.e. an impact energy of only 21 Joules, compared with 1147 Joules without a parachute system.
Long-range, secure transmission for manual triggering
The long-range communication system between the Klick trigger remote control and the parachute/FTS is based on advanced technology and LoRa modulation. Its range can reach several kilometres in optimal conditions and a long range option allows to exceed 10 km.
The communication protocol is based on the 869 MHz frequencies, which are free of authorisation (433 and 915 MHz options available). A 128-bit encryption ensures that the data is not intercepted and the user is warned if the communication is disturbed.
POD system
Resetting your Kronos M3D Parachute Recovery System takes just a few minutes. All you have to do is replace your triggered pod with a new one, and then carry out a few simple maintenance operations yourself, as explained and detailed in the parachute user manual.
The CO2 cartridge is the only consumable to be changed on the system after it has been deployed, and a cartridge costs just a few euros. You can either buy a new POD or exchange your deployed POD for a new one at a special price.

FLIGHT TERMINATION SYSTEM
Our new plug & play Flight Termination Systems Kronos M3D, has been designed to enable remote pilots to stay focused on their flying missions. The system can be installed in less than 2 minutes, and is installed between the batteries and the drone. With MOC M2511 compliance, you’ll be flying with the best risk management and safety measures in place during your missions.

Linked with a Parachute Recovery System
Dronavia’s experts will pair the PRS with the FTS in our workshop. After a connection test, your safety kit is shipped. When one of the two systems is triggered, the second will also be triggered.
Plug & play module
Kronos M3D Flight Termination System (FTS) are designed to be easily integrated, with an installation time of just a few seconds. Kronos M3D FTS is installed between the batteries and the drone in less than a minute, directly by the pilot.
EASA MOC2511 compliance
The Kronos M3D Flight Termination System (FTS) complies with MoC Light-UAS.2511.01, which is an essential compliance requirement when developing a SORA (Special Operations Risk Assessment) or PDRA (Pre-Defined Risk Assessment). This compliance is sufficient to meet the requirements of Part 9, ensures that our customers have the best risk management and safety measures for their special operations, while staying ahead of future European standards. The MOC2511 is sufficient to meet the requirements of Part 9.
Easily integrated Geocaging solution
The Zephyr CC & ScaleFlyt Geocaging FTS module allows you to create a virtual cage representing the flight area of your drone in order to fly your missions in complete serenity. Thanks to the compatibility between the Geocaging system and our FTS systems, if the drone leaves the flight envelope, the engine cut-out automatically triggers a stop, ensuring that your drone stays within the limits you have set.
To integrate the geocaging solution into your safety kit, simply link your module to your existing FTS. The experts at Dronavia make it quick and easy.
Long-range, secure transmission for manual triggering
The long-range communication system between the Klick trigger remote control and the PRS/FTS is based on advanced technology and LoRa modulation. Its range can reach several kilometres in optimal conditions and a long range option allows to exceed 10 km.
The communication protocol is based on the 869 MHz frequencies, which are free of authorisation (433 and 915 MHz options available). A 128-bit encryption ensures that the data is not intercepted and the user is warned if the communication is disturbed.
