Developing the future of rapid autonomous Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)
Our mission: To be first on the scene, providing real-time high-fidelity video from autonomous aerial systems in complex rural, maritime and urban environments at a fraction of the cost of manned solutions with uncompromising safety.
Austin Aeronautics flagship Battery Electric UAV - THE SPRITE, with class leading redundancy and retractable payload.
Our service plan:
Beyond Visual Line of Sight, Rapid Response unmanned airborne Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance services.
First response on-scene situational awareness for search and rescue, providing real-time video and monitoring services using flexible payload options.
Coastal waters distressed vessel response, shipping monitoring and overwatch for coastal and environmental impact analysis.
Surveying capability for infrastructure, powerline inspection and boundary monitoring.
The future of rapid autonomous Aircraft
We've designed, developed and tested a patent pending autonomous aerial platform capable of rapidly reconfiguring payloads to meet our client's unique needs.
Design differentiators
High-speed cruise with low speed stability
Redundant, beyond visual line of sight (BLOS) navigation, autopilot and communications avionics
Propulsion system enables engine out operations across take-off, cruise and landing
Large enclosed payload area for bespoke flight requirements and discreet payloads
Fully autonomous flight profiles requiring minimal operator input
Mechanical flight control redundancy
THE rapid aerial surveillance solution for modern emergency services
Emergency Event
When you need to respond to an emergency situation, provide critical care or assess security situations; our business is to provide you with rapid real-time awareness as the situation unfolds. Now you can make critical decisions real time.
Contact us for our product response times.
Location Confirmed
Requesting real-time support is as simple as nominating a location on a map and letting our team take care of the rest. Developing emergency? We cater to wide-area geographies and adapt as the situation changes to give you the situational awareness you need.
Data Inbound
Our team will coordinate with traffic management services through an immediate flight plan for the fastest possible time to location. When you need information now we plan to be on-site in minutes, not hours.
Real-time High Fidelity Data
With your aircraft overhead you'll have immediate access to real-time situational data relayed directly to your team. Our data will be transmitted via private commercial agreements, minimising latency and maximising quality.
