Development streams that demonstrate technical direction.

These project areas are presented as engineering programs and concepts, not as finished commercial deployments.

Prototype programs, payload standards, and autonomy architecture.

SF-7 Industrial UAS Prototype Program

A requirements-led aircraft program for ruggedised industrial inspection missions.

Challenge

Balance payload capacity, endurance, environmental protection, and regulatory class boundaries.

Result

Prototype pathway with gated reviews, subsystem validation, and production readiness criteria.

Sub-7 kg classPX4 + ROS 2PBS-1.0 payload bay28 min endurance target

PBS-1.0 Modular Payload Interface

A planned mechanical, electrical, and data interface for rapid payload interchange.

Challenge

Support thermal, RGB zoom, edge AI, and future LiDAR modules without redesigning the aircraft.

Result

Dovetail rail concept, protected power, CAN/USB data, and under-60-second swap objective.

Dock-to-Cloud Autonomy Architecture

A staged autonomy architecture linking aircraft, docking, operator, and cloud tiers.

Challenge

Maintain human override, safety fallback, and data integrity through higher autonomy levels.

Result

MAVLink, ROS 2, REST, and cloud handoff architecture for future supervised missions.
