Capabilities

We build drones from the smallest part up, and the systems that defend against them. You can use each capability on its own or bring several together in one project.

Drone & component design

We build the aircraft and everything inside it: airframe, flight controller, mission computer, ESCs and propellers, all as one system.

  • Drone & Component Design

    Full drones designed in-house: airframe, electronics and software built as one system.

    We design drones from a blank page. The airframe shape, the motors, the electronics and the payload are all planned together around the job. Because we build every part in-house, we can change the drone quickly when your needs change.

  • Flight Controllers & Mission Computers

    Flight control boards, firmware and onboard computers, all built in-house.

    We make our own flight controllers and mission computers. We design the board, choose the sensors, write the control firmware and run the navigation, mission logic and computer vision on it. We build the hardware and software together, so the drone behaves the same way every time and we keep the supply chain in our own hands.

  • ESCs & Propellers

    Speed controllers and propellers matched closely to each drone.

    We do not buy the propulsion off the shelf. We build our own speed controllers and match the propellers to the motor and airframe as a set. So the drone performs the same way every time, uses less power and makes the right amount of noise for the job.

Counter-UAS and drone defence

Sensors, C2 panel software, RF effectors and camera-based drone detection and tracking, joined into one full drone defence system.

  • Counter-UAS Systems

    One drone defence system: detect, track, identify and stop hostile drones.

    We build counter-UAS as one full chain: sensors to detect, software to track and identify, and effectors to stop the threat, all shown on a single screen. The system can work on its own or connect to the site security you already have.

  • Detection & Tracking

    Drone detection with cameras and sensors, and AI tracking of small flying targets.

    Our software puts the camera picture together with other sensor data and uses machine learning to detect, classify and track small drones in busy airspace. It works day and night, and in conditions where a person alone would find it hard.

  • C2 Panel Software

    Command-and-control software that gives the operator one clear picture and fast choices.

    Our C2 software brings the sensors, effectors and drones into one operator panel: live tracks, alerts, action choices and a full record, all in one place. We designed it for operators under pressure, so it is clear, fast and easy to check afterwards.

  • RF Effectors

    Radio-frequency effectors that stop drones that should not be there.

    We build RF effectors that break the command, control and navigation links of drones that should not be there. The effectors work together with the detection and C2 chain, so the response hits the right target, stays in proportion and is recorded.

Not sure which capability you need?

Tell us the problem, not the product. A short talk is usually enough for us to work out what you need together.
