PARACHUTE RECOVERY SYSTEM
The Kronos Mini parachute model is part of a new generation of innovative rescue parachutes, equipped with an autonomous deployement system capable of automatically detecting a crash, following a loss of altitude, a collision or an abrupt change of angle. Compatible with drones weighing less than 2 kilogram, it is the most reliable and easy-to-use system on the market to protect your drone.
be ready to fly fast
The parachute is assembled in just a few minutes by the pilot himself, without the drone ever having to pass through our workshop. The Kronos Mini parachute system can be installed and uninstalled in less than 2 minute. Dronavia provides video installation tutorials as well as a user & instruction manual to make it easy to get started.

Why equip your drone with a Parachute Recovery System (PRS)?
Adding a Parachute Recovery System (PRS) to a drone can help ensure safety in the event of a technical failure or critical problem during flight (extreme weather conditions, radio transmission failure, technical failure of the propulsion system, loss of GPS signal, etc.).
Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) help attenuate impact and minimize damage to the drone and its environment in the event of an emergency landing. They can also help protect nearby people in the event of a problem during flight.
How do Kronos Mini / Nano Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) protect my drone?
All our Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) enable an emergency landing following an in-flight problem, by drastically limiting impact energy.
To limit impact energy, the new Kronos PRS systems incorporate autonomous deployment technology. This technology automatically deploys the parachute in less than 0.27 seconds, compared with around 3 seconds for human deployment, in the event of a problem during flight.
The new PARA² canopies used in Kronos Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) are the result of three years’ development. Their innovative, ultra-light design and unique composition give PARA² canopies superior efficiency and stability. The rate of fall is minimized in relation to the surface area of the fabric. Dronavia Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) are designed so that the canopy keeps the drone as flat as possible during its fall, to minimize impact damage.
However, Dronavia cannot guarantee that your drone will remain flat during its fall. This depends on weather and deployment conditions (height, type of ground, etc.).
How do the Kronos Mini / Nano Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) work?
To reduce activation time and increase the chances of avoiding a crash or accident, Dronavia Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) incorporate autonomous deployment technology. This technology automatically deploys the parachute in less than 0.27 seconds, compared with around 3 seconds for human deployment, in the event of a problem during flight.
For total safety, the Kronos Mini Parachute Recovery System (PRS) can also be deployed manually, using a Klick trigger remote control. The Kronos Nano Parachute Recovery System (PRS) cannot be activated by the Klick trigger remote control, but only by autonomous deployment technology.
Ergonomic, lightweight, with LED status indicators and a secure wireless connection, the Klick trigger remote control range enables drone operators to ensure the safety of their flights, thanks to rapid, controlled activation.
How does Kronos Mini / Nano autonomous Parachute Recovery System (PRS) deployment technology work?
For several years, Dronavia has been developing autonomous deployment technology (mandatory for MOC2512 (M2) compliant systems and the C5 accessories kit) to help operators achieve the best risk management for their flight missions.
This technology automatically deploys the parachute in less than 0.27 seconds, compared with around 3 seconds for human deployment, in the event of a problem during flight.
Here are just a few of the elements taken into account by our autonomous deployment technology: gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, barometer, temperature, humidity, etc.
Dronavia’s autonomous deployment technology has been tested to EASA standards.
What is the autonomy of the Kronos Mini / Nano Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS)?
The Kronos Mini Parachute Recovery System (PRS) is equipped with an independent 10-hour battery. The Kronos Nano Parachute Recovery System is equipped with an independent 5-hour battery. Both Parachute Recovery System (PRS) can be recharged via a USB-C socket located on the PRS.
Can the Kronos Mini / Nano Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) be deployed manually?
Only the Kronos Mini Parachute Recovery System (PRS) can be deployed using a Klick trigger remote control. The Kronos Nano Parachute Recovery System can only be deployed using autonomous deployment technology.
Ergonomic, lightweight, with LED status indicators and a secure wireless connection, Klick’s range of trigger remotes control lets you ensure the safety of your flights, thanks to rapid, controlled deployment.
What communication system is used to link the Dronavia Parachute Recovery System (PRS) to the Klick trigger remote control?
The long-range communication system between the Klick trigger remote control and the Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS) is based on advanced technology and LoRa modulation. It has a range of up to 5 kilometers under optimum conditions, with a long-range option for over 10 kilometers.
The communication protocol is based on license-free 869 MHz frequencies (433 and 915 MHz options available). 128-bit encryption ensures that data cannot be intercepted. The user is warned if communication is disrupted.
Can the Klick trigger remote control be interfered with and/or intercepted? Is there a risk of accidental deployment?
No, all data is encrypted using a secure wireless link based on advanced technology and LoRa modulation. 128-bit encryption ensures that data cannot be intercepted. The user is warned if communication is disrupted.
What are the differences between Kronos Mini and Kronos Nano Parachute Recovery Systems (PRS)?
The Kronos Mini and Kronos Nano Parachute Recovery Systems have been designed and developed on the same basis. However, a number of features differ between the two systems.
Only the Kronos Mini Parachute Recovery System (PRS) features automatic takeoff and landing detection, enabling activation of autonomous deployment technology. Autonomous deployment technology is activated manually on the Kronos Nano Parachute Recovery System (PRS).
Only the Kronos Mini system can be manually deployed using a Klick trigger remote control. The Kronos Nano Parachute Recovery System (PRS) cannot be deployed manually, only autonomous deployment technology is available.
