ShadowHawk D-A250: 5-Inch FPV Drone with AI Tracking, Thermal Vision & 100m/s Speed
Unleashing the Power of the ShadowHawk D-A250’s AI Tracking in a 5-Inch Platform
Modern drone warfare increasingly relies on image-based guidance. Attackers use AI recognition for terminal homing. Defenders deploy drones to detect and counter threats. The ShadowHawk D-A250 high-speed FPV drone brings this technology into a compact 5-inch platform. Its AI vision module delivers up to 6 TOPS of computing power. Consequently, this AI tracking drone identifies vehicles at 1,200 meters and humans at 500 meters. Even in total darkness, its optional thermal imaging FPV sensor maintains detection. Furthermore, dual visible light cameras offer a wide 72° field of view and a 26° telephoto zoom. A picture-in-picture display keeps pilots fully aware during high‑speed manoeuvres. Powered by an FC130 6S brushless motor and 5X2 propellers, the D-A250 reaches blistering speeds. Specifically, it flies at 60 to 100 m/s and climbs to 5,000 meters. Its 15,000‑meter control radius and 8th‑level wind resistance make it a true long range FPV drone. Moreover, it supports up to 50 simultaneous targets. Thus, this dual camera drone excels in complex surveillance missions. The ShadowHawk D-A250 high-speed FPV drone truly redefines what a 5‑inch platform can achieve.
Video Demonstrations of Tracking and Interception
The D-A250’s AI board enables autonomous detection and strike. In the video below, watch it lock onto a vehicle and guide a terminal approach. Moreover, the system handles fast‑moving targets seamlessly.

Consequently, it offers a versatile solution for both offence and defence.
AI-Powered Target Tracking with the ShadowHawk D-A250
The intelligent core of the ShadowHawk D-A250 lies in its AI tracking capabilities. Its 6 TOPS computing power enables crosshair fuzzy lock and short‑range auto‑snap. These features allow automatic target acquisition with pinpoint precision. Dual‑algorithm tracking combines trajectory prediction and feature memory. As a result, the drone maintains a lock on fast‑moving objects at up to 60 km/h. Beyond following a single target, the system can simultaneously track up to 50 vehicles or persons. For all‑weather performance, the thermal imaging FPV configuration uses a 384×288 LWIR sensor. It detects heat signatures in total darkness, smoke, or fog. The Ultra Dual variant extends recognition range to 1,200 meters for vehicles and 500 meters for humans. Furthermore, picture‑in‑picture mode overlays a zoomed tracking view on the wide‑angle feed. This enhances situational awareness during complex missions. Pilots therefore benefit from smart, hands‑free tracking for both offensive and defensive operations.
Computing power: 6 TOPS | Target speed: up to 60 km/h | Simultaneous targets: up to 50 | Detection range: 1,200m (vehicles), 500m (humans) | Thermal sensor: 384×288 LWIR
Extreme Speed, Long Range, and Multi-Sensor Versatility
The ShadowHawk D-A250 remains, first and foremost, a high‑speed FPV drone. Its FC130 6S brushless motor and 65A L32 ESC spin 5X2 paddle blades. Consequently, it delivers breathtaking speeds from 60 to 100 m/s. A 25.2V 1500mAh LiPo battery provides up to 10 minutes of flight. This is sufficient for aggressive racing manoeuvres. The aircraft withstands 8th‑level winds and stays stable in challenging outdoor conditions. Control range reaches 15,000 meters in open space. It uses customizable 915 MHz or 2.4 GHz frequencies. Additionally, 5.8G 720p video transmission maintains a clear downlink over the same distance. Therefore, this long range FPV drone excels in extended reconnaissance and patrol missions. For racing enthusiasts, the D-A250 dominates competitive circuits. The drone’s versatility shines through four sensor configurations. The Max+ single visible light camera uses a 4mm lens. The Ultra Dual Visible system pairs a 3.9mm wide‑angle with a 12mm telephoto lens for dual‑view operation. When equipped with thermal imaging, the platform becomes a true thermal imaging FPV solution. It perceives heat contrasts at night. Thus, this dual camera drone switches seamlessly between day and night operations. As shown in the video above, the D-A250 can rapidly intercept hostile UAVs. Its defensive deployment is both swift and effective. Moreover, open‑source BetaFlight, APM, and PX4 firmware compatibility ensures easy integration into existing fleets. It also supports customisation for research projects.
