Uncrewed systems

Aircraft and ground robots built for hard conditions

We design and integrate uncrewed systems from the flight controller up: multirotor, fixed-wing and heavy-lift aircraft, robotic ground carriers, the electronics inside them and the training that prepares their operators.

Platforms

The right airframe for the task

Every platform shares the same electronics, links and on-board computer, so a fleet can mix sizes without mixing toolchains.

Multirotor

Compact multirotor

7 to 15-inch foldable aircraft for fast deployment, with day and thermal camera options, low-light capability and in-flight switching between communication channels.

Heavy-lift

Logistics multirotor

22-inch platform for carrying payloads and supplies to places vehicles and people cannot safely reach.

Fixed-wing

Long-range fixed-wing

Airframes designed for endurance and coverage: inspection corridors, perimeter patrol and long-range observation.

Ground

Robotic ground carrier

An uncrewed ground vehicle that carries, launches and relays a group of drones, so operators stay at a safe distance.

Reusable

Reusable platforms

Built to be recovered, recharged and flown again, which lowers the cost of repeat operations.

Custom

Built to your mission

Bespoke airframes, payloads, range and endurance, designed and integrated from flight electronics up.

The stack inside

We work at the level of the electronics

Flight controller, links and on-board computer are where an aircraft decides what to do after a lost link, a weak battery or a noisy radio environment. That is the level we work at, and where we change behaviour when a mission needs it.

Flight electronics, links and propulsion come from Tyko Tech, our partner for drone electronics and UAV platforms, with onEDGE as the on-board computer. To keep each airframe's flight controller, companion computer and AI models in one project, see Drone Platform.

Applications

Where uncrewed systems take people out of harm's way

Infrastructure

Inspection and patrol

Grids, pipelines and perimeters covered without sending crews into danger.

Emergency

Search and response

Thermal search in smoke, darkness and terrain that ground teams cannot cross quickly.

Logistics

Last-mile delivery

Supplies and equipment delivered to isolated or hazardous locations.

Security & defence

Observation under interference

Observation that keeps working under interference and without satellite navigation.

Operator readiness

Training and simulation

A capable aircraft needs a prepared crew. Together with Tyko Tech we train operators and give them a simulator that reproduces the conditions they will meet.

  • Curriculum from flight fundamentals and safety to mission planning, team coordination and debriefing
  • Preparation for RF interference, satellite-navigation loss, night operations and emergencies
  • Simulator modelling RF effects, video-link degradation, weather, battery drop and inertial drift
  • Mission planning and command exercises for multi-role teams
  • Simulator licensing for isolated, air-gapped networks
