Il est principalement dédié au divertissement mais dispose d'équipements sophistiqués tels qu'une caméra frontale pour le pilotage, une seconde verticale pour la stabilisation, un accéléromètre trois axes, deux gyroscopes, un émetteur et un récepteur à ultrasons permettant de calculer l'altitude, de nombreux capteurs ainsi qu'un ordinateur embarqué fonctionnant sur noyau Linux.

Drone dispose de fonctions de réalité augmentée permettant d'ajouter des éléments virtuels contextuels à l'affichage réel. Plus concrètement, les images transmises par la caméra frontale du drone ainsi que ses capteurs, permettront à l'application de commande sur l'iPhone d'ajouter par exemple des ennemis virtuels à abattre, ou encore de détecter un autre AR.Drone pour engager un combat mi-réel mi-virtuel en multijoueurs. Parrot a mis à disposition du grand public un kit de développement (SDK) afin de permettre aux utilisateurs confirmés de développer de nouvelles fonctionnalités pour le AR.
