Helping Clients Build Amazing Unmanned Systems
Hire us as your experts for PCBs, software, mechanical design and more!
Our US-based team brings years of unmanned systems experience, ranging from complex autopilot designs, user interfaces, dense circuit boards, algorithms, communication systems and more. Contact us to see how we can solve your UxV challenges.
Embedded Software
Providing expertise in embedded Linux and microcontrollers, our team is comfortable working with standard UxV prototcols and microservices including MAVLink, ArduPilot, PX4, ROS and more.
Printed Circuit Board Design
We have a long history of making complex autopilots with embedded compute systems to support ArduPilot and PX4. We specialize in making bespoke, vehicle-specific variants, adding integrated peripherals, power subsystems, GNSS systems and more.
Mechanical Design
Custom enclosures, housings and other mechanical designs integrated with custom electronics systems. Experts in CNC, additive manufacturing, manufacturing-for-cost, and low-volume manufacturing techniques.
Rapid Prototyping
We have manufacturing partners on standby and can support all your prototyping and small production run needs. We offer full transition assistance from prototype to full production.
Software
We have years of experience customizing QGroundControl for specific use cases, implementing media pipelines, cloud services, VPNs, cellular connectivity, satcom connectivity and remote video distribution. We can also guide you through TAK and ATAK solutions such as the UAS-Tool plugin.
Security
Our team is based in the US and consists only of US persons. We can support full NDAA-compliant prototyping and manufacturing. We have a long history of service to defense, law-enforcement and intelligence agencies.
Cool stuff we’ve done
Custom Jetson Autopilots
Industrial autopilot systems compatible with ArduPilot or PX4. This project used the Jetson NX SOM, complete with onboard NVMe SSD, and peripheral support including USB3, Ethernet, MIPI etc.
Custom RPi Autopilots
Autopilot systems running PX4 or ArduPilot with onboard compute using the Raspberry Pi 4/5 compute module. This project was focused on minimal size, weight and cost, optimized with high-density connectors for quick assembly of FPV quads.
Custom GNSS Systems
Multi-band GNSS systems with DroneCAN support, blind-via ground planes and onboard compasses.
Custom Camera Systems
MIPI/CSI2 camera systems, USB2/3 camera systems, thermal imagers, dual EO/thermal cameras. automatic IR-cut shutter systems and IR/overt illuminators.
Handheld Radio
An IP-rated handheld radio for unmanned systems. Designed to use either Doodle or Microhard radios and Nett Warrior connectivity.
Cloud/Web Applications
React/JS web applications, using cloud connectivity and 3D mapping engines to display vehicle status and video feeds in a browser.
QGroundControl
We've customized QGroundControl for a variety of customers, including custom vehicle functions, gimbal control, branding, safety features, custom video features and more.
Media Frameworks
Gstreamer and FFMpeg-based pipelines to optimize latency, streaming over multicast networks, multiple feeds per vehicle, thermal/eo overlays, digital zoom, remote video distribution, etc.
Ground Control Sytems
Custom Ground Control Systems. Shown above is an example integrating a MANet radio, a Starlink Terminal and RTK GPS base station. Powered by an internal battery and supports solar charging.
Payload Interface Systems
Custom payload interface solutions, solving the challenges of how does "this" talk to "that."
High Speed Digital Systems
We have years of expertise designing high-speed digital circuits to both prevent EMI and work in the presence of EMI.
