Conservation

Our conservation solutions empower field teams with tools that extend access, improve monitoring, and reduce environmental impact. Built for remote, rugged, and ecologically sensitive environments, these platforms support tasks such as wildlife management, habitat assessment, reforestation, and remote sensing. Each system is developed to help conservation practitioners work more effectively while preserving the landscapes they protect.

P.D.S.

Details
Precision Deployment System for VTOL Aircraft
  • Fully autonomous system delivering high-accuracy drops to GPS-designated ground targets; ideal for BVLOS operations.
  • Accepts a wide range of payloads in aerodynamic pods, including toxic baits, reforestation seedlings, emergency communications or medical supplies, remote sensors, and more.
  • Modular deployment unit allows custom sizing and configuration.
  • Self-contained electronics make the system largely platform-agnostic and compatible with most multirotor aircraft.
  • Optional automated robotic loading system available for large-scale or continuous operations.

Valkyrie

Mobile, on-call, data relay and payload delivery
  • Primary payloads for data and communication relay
  • Unique VSTOL (Very Short Take-off and Landing) aircraft with exceptional high-lift capability, enabling takeoff and landing in very small areas so ideal for areas of operation with limited footprint.
  • VTOL (Vertical Take-off and Landing) option available

The Tardis

X-com 1 - Mobile command and control centre
  • Designed for remote, off-road operations.
  • Command and communications systems.
  • Generator power with solar-battery backup.
  • Workshop facilities and a roof-mounted drone landing pad.
  • Provides bunks, kitchen and supplies for two personnel.

Chimera

Multi-role boat
  • Modular payloads such as communication relays, hydrophones, sonar, other sensors, mini-submersibles and UAV hives.
  • Hybrid power options include an electric variant with self-harvesting energy for extreme endurance.
  • Available in two size variants. Can be trailer/ land or ship launch.

Taniwha

Small reconnaissance and data collection platform
  • Ship or shore launched
  • Near-silent platform for minimal disruption of sea life.
  • Carries a suite of sensors, including hydrophones, 360° cameras, and side-scan sonar.
  • Electric zero emission with standard endurance of 4 hours and options for extended operation up to 8 hours.
  • Requires only one person for operation.
