Civil & Emergency Applications

When Every Minute Counts

The same range, endurance, and autonomy — deployed to protect communities and save lives.

01

Wildfire Suppression

Precision fire suppressant delivery to hotspots. 24/7 operations in zero-visibility smoke. Terrain-following at 50m to hit targets manned aircraft cannot reach.

02

Disaster Communications

Instant mesh communications when infrastructure fails. Deploy within minutes of earthquake, hurricane, or flood. 6-hour airborne relay coverage.

03

Search & Rescue

1,200 km search range. Thermal imaging identifies survivors day and night. AI-assisted pattern recognition across vast wilderness or disaster zones.

04

Maritime Patrol

Persistent ocean surveillance. Illegal fishing detection. Border and environmental monitoring. 1,200 km range covers vast maritime zones autonomously.

05

Emergency Supply Delivery

Medical supplies and critical cargo to cut-off communities. 20 kg payload capacity. GPS-precise delivery to locations inaccessible by road or helicopter.

Defense Applications

Dominance at Scale

Five core defense capabilities from a single $25,000 platform. Deploy one or deploy twenty-four.

01

Persistent ISR

6 hours on station. SAR + EO/IR sensor fusion. Full-spectrum situational awareness from 50m NOE to 6,000m altitude. See everything.

02

Electronic Warfare

SIGINT collection and area jamming from a $25K expendable platform. Deny the electromagnetic spectrum without risking manned assets.

03

Precision Strike

25 kg modular warhead. Multi-mode terminal guidance. Terminal dive at 380 km/h with AI vision lock. GPS-denied capable.

04

Communications Relay

Mesh network node extending C2 beyond line of sight. Airborne relay at 6,000m provides hundreds of kilometers of communications reach.

05

Swarm Operations

24 synchronized units. One operator. Autonomous coordination via mesh network. Coordinated area saturation or sequential precision engagement.
