What We Do

Custom UAS development for hostile environments.

From current capability to the platforms we're building next.

Current Service

Custom drone development

End-to-end design and build of UAS platforms tailored to operational requirements. Our focus is hostile-environment performance and mission-critical reliability — systems that keep working when GPS, comms, or conditions in the field do not cooperate.

Technology Focus

Where we invest engineering effort

GPS-Denied Navigation LiDAR Integration Resilient Comms Autonomous Flight GeoAI
Platform Architecture

Engineering behind the platform

Conventional tactical drones are expensive to risk and vulnerable to electronic warfare — jamming and spoofing. Our architecture is built to address both.

GPS-Denied Navigation

Couples a 60GHz FMCW radar chip with an STM32 MCU, correcting IMU drift by calculating speed and altitude from ground reflections — no satellite link required.

Clean Value Chain

Electronics are sourced exclusively from allied nations (NATO, Taiwan, Japan), avoiding espionage risk and vetoed hardware.

System architecture overview — subsystem placement around the core flight controller.
Module / Component Operational Specification
Core MCU Calculates velocity, acceleration, and inclination via IMU, and altitude via barometer.
Comms 2.4GHz RX (control) and 5.8GHz VTX (video), enabling FPV operation beyond direct line of sight.
Modular Sensors Interchangeable slots for Doppler radar and LiDAR, covering topography and obstacle detection.
Power Management LDO + buck converter, with GPIO-controlled load switches to cut LiDAR power mid-flight and conserve battery.
Drive System Dual ESC using 12 N-channel MOSFETs / gate drivers for dual motors and servo control.
Future Pipeline

What we're building next

Geospatial Intelligence Platform

Drone-based airborne surveys — magnetometry, LiDAR, gamma-ray spectrometry — processed with machine learning for terrain analysis and threat assessment.

Managed Survey Services

Full-cycle airborne data collection and reporting for defence and civil protection clients, from flight planning through delivered analysis.
