Mission-Specific UAV Array

Design and development of a family of mission-specific UAVs for tactical strike, maritime surveillance, border security, and autonomous defense operations. Integrates advanced avionics, autonomous navigation, secure frequency-hopping communication, and modular payload systems for precision engagement and rapid-response missions.

Docking Ecosystem — APC

An integrated unmanned aerial system enabling autonomous drone operations through intelligent docking, data management, and centralized mission control — automated battery charging, telemetry transfer, and secure communication across a field-deployable docking station, edge computing, and a central server.

Fixed-Wing VTOL UAV

A fixed-wing Vertical Take-Off and Landing UAV (10 kg MTOW, 2 kg payload) combining multirotor hover capability with fixed-wing endurance. Autonomous navigation, precision positioning, and mission planning for surveillance, mapping, reconnaissance and logistics in confined operating areas.

Tethered Drone

A tethered UAV sustaining aerial operations via a 50-meter power and communication tether — persistent surveillance, communication relay, and situational awareness without the endurance limits of battery power, for defense, border surveillance, and disaster response.

50 kg Payload Heavy-Lift Drone

A heavy-lift UAV carrying up to 50 kg for logistics, surveillance and mission-critical operations — robust multirotor architecture, high-efficiency propulsion, autonomous flight control, and redundant safety mechanisms for defense logistics, disaster relief and remote-area resupply.

Interceptor Drone with Deterrence Payload

An autonomous interceptor drone for counter-UAV and airspace protection — detects, tracks and intercepts unauthorized aerial systems via advanced sensing, autonomous navigation, and real-time target tracking, with secure links and onboard decision-making algorithms.

Interception Ecosystem

An integrated counter-UAV solution combining interceptor drones, surveillance sensors, command-and-control infrastructure, and AI-enabled threat analysis to detect, track, identify and neutralize unauthorized aerial threats in real time across defense and critical-infrastructure environments.

Failsafe Redundant Flight Control System

A triple flight-controller architecture with majority-voting logic to detect, isolate, and mitigate controller failures in flight. Advanced health monitoring, fault detection, and automatic switching improve system availability and safety for mission-critical UAV platforms.

Electric All-Terrain Vehicle (E-ATV)

A stealth-enabled tactical mobility platform for rapid deployment, reconnaissance, casualty evacuation, and logistics support in challenging terrain — electric powertrain, low acoustic/thermal signature, terrain mapping, and autonomous assistance systems.

Logistics Drone (50–70 kg Payload)

A heavy-lift autonomous logistics drone transporting up to 70 kg over medium-range missions — redundant flight systems, secure communications, obstacle avoidance, and fail-safe recovery for military resupply and humanitarian aid delivery.

Through-Wall Radar (3D Surveillance System)

Ultra-wideband radar and advanced signal processing for non-contact detection and 3D visualization of human presence behind solid obstacles — portable, low-power, and ruggedized for hostage rescue, urban warfare, and search-and-rescue operations.

Explosive Payload Drone

A high-endurance autonomous platform for precision strike missions — hybrid VTOL-fixed wing configuration, autonomous navigation, precision guidance, AI-assisted target recognition, and encrypted communication for beyond-line-of-sight mission scenarios.

Type V Heavy Drop Systems

A specialized aerial delivery platform for precision deployment of heavy cargo in remote, unprepared locations — automated release mechanisms, high-accuracy positioning, modular cargo integration and parachute-assisted recovery for military and humanitarian use.

Autonomous Kamikaze Vessel

An unmanned naval platform for long-range maritime surveillance and precision strike — autonomous navigation, stealth-enhancing technologies, obstacle avoidance, and minimal radar signature for coastal security and reconnaissance.

Loiter Munition (PALM400A)

A high-endurance precision engagement system delivering persistent aerial surveillance and responsive target engagement — autonomous navigation, AI-assisted target recognition, extended loiter endurance, and dynamic re-tasking capability.

Smart Speed Enforcement Radar System

An intelligent traffic-monitoring system integrating high-resolution imaging, 60 GHz radar-based speed measurement, and automatic license plate recognition — centralized management software and REST-based integration for highway and urban traffic enforcement.

Autonomous Follow-Me Drone

An intelligent aerial platform that autonomously tracks and follows moving targets — AI-based vision tracking, obstacle avoidance, and precision target-lock for defense, search-and-rescue, and civilian monitoring applications.
