What we build
Hardware and firmware in the lab
Small teams own end-to-end missions: CAD to carbon, ESC calibration to ground control UX.
Electronics & Avionics
Flight controllers, radio links, and telemetry stacks with live dashboards and black-box logging.
Autonomy & AI
Path-planning, computer vision, and on-board models that help our drones see, map, and react.
Flight Ops & Testing
Safety protocols, pilot training, and field testing to validate every build before it flies.
