// Capabilities

Firmware to ground station.

Anything UAV / UAS. Four capabilities, one team — so the autopilot, the payload, and the ground station are engineered to work as one system.

FLIGHT-STACK

Flight software engineering

The autopilot is where your aircraft lives or dies. We work deep in the PX4 stack — custom flight modes, failsafe logic, estimator and controller tuning — and we validate in HITL and SITL before anything touches a real airframe.

  • ▸PX4 module development & customization
  • ▸Custom flight modes & failsafe behavior
  • ▸Estimator / controller tuning & flight testing
  • ▸HITL & SITL simulation environments
  • ▸Log analysis & incident investigation

GCS

Ground control stations

The ground station is where operators meet your aircraft. We customize QGroundControl or build fully bespoke stations — and because our team includes technical artists, they look as considered as they behave.

  • ▸QGroundControl customization & plugins
  • ▸Bespoke ground stations, desktop & tablet
  • ▸Mission planning & fleet operations UIs
  • ▸Live video, telemetry & mapping
  • ▸Operator workflow & interface design

PAYLOAD

Sensor & payload integration

A sensor on the bench and a sensor in the airframe are different animals. We write the drivers, handle the buses, and make payloads first-class citizens of the autopilot and the ground station.

  • ▸MAVLink integration & custom messages
  • ▸CAN / UART / SPI / I2C device drivers
  • ▸RTK GNSS, rangefinders, airspeed, lidar
  • ▸Cameras, gimbals & video pipelines
  • ▸Companion computers & onboard compute

SYSTEMS

Systems engineering & delivery

Flying prototypes are easy to demo and hard to productionize. We bring the systems discipline — requirements, architecture, safety-aware process — that turns a demo into a deliverable.

  • ▸System architecture & requirements
  • ▸Embedded C++ with test-driven development
  • ▸Secure coding practice
  • ▸Project reports: timeline, milestones, cost
  • ▸Documentation & handover packages

// Process

Checklist discipline

STEP 01 [✓]

Preflight

We scope the mission: requirements, architecture, risks. You get a written plan with milestones, a schedule, and a cost analysis before any code is written.

STEP 02 [✓]

In flight

We build and integrate in short cycles, with demonstrable drops you can see, fly, and test. No silence between kickoff and delivery.

STEP 03 [✓]

Handover

Delivery includes tests, documentation, and knowledge transfer. Your team owns the system when we leave — that's the point.

Not sure which capability your problem falls under? That's normal — UAV problems rarely respect category lines.
