Unmanned Systems

Extend awareness. Reduce exposure.

Air and sea systems give public agencies new ways to observe, inspect, search, document, and patrol. We source by mission profile, operating environment, training need, and compliance requirement.

Air

Eyes above the scene.

Aerial systems can shorten the time between arrival and awareness. The right platform depends on payload, endurance, environment, communications, airspace constraints, training, and agency policy.

Search & rescue

Cover broad or difficult terrain faster and give teams an overhead view of likely search areas. Sensor and endurance requirements can be matched to daylight, low-light, thermal, and mapping needs.

Accident reconstruction

Document scenes from above and support mapping workflows without keeping personnel in active traffic lanes longer than necessary. Platform and software choices can be aligned to the agency's evidence and reconstruction process.

Event overwatch

Support situational awareness across large public gatherings, waterfronts, and dispersed venues. Agencies can evaluate platforms around coverage, live video, operating time, communications, and evidence-handling needs.

Infrastructure inspection

View bridges, utilities, roofs, towers, and other difficult-to-access structures while reducing exposure to heights or traffic. Payloads can be matched to visual, thermal, mapping, or documentation requirements.

Sea

Coverage beyond the shoreline.

Maritime and underwater systems can extend inspection, search, and patrol capabilities into environments where access, visibility, current, and diver safety affect the mission.

Port & harbor security

Use unmanned surface platforms to increase awareness around working ports, restricted areas, critical waterfront infrastructure, and patrol routes. System choices can be matched to endurance, sensors, autonomy, communications, and local operating conditions.

Waterway patrol

Support persistent observation or targeted patrol in canals, rivers, marinas, and coastal environments. The mission profile determines whether the priority is range, low-speed station keeping, sensor payload, or remote operation.

Underwater

Inspect what cannot be seen from the surface.

Hull & pier inspection

Use compact ROVs to examine pilings, seawalls, hulls, intakes, and submerged structures while keeping operators topside. Camera, lighting, sonar, tether, depth, and maneuverability requirements can be matched to the site.

Underwater search & recovery

Extend visual and sensor coverage into low-visibility water and constrained areas. Platform selection can be based on depth, current, search area, sonar needs, manipulator requirements, and evidence workflows.

Deployment considerations

Platform is only part of the program.

A useful system also needs a workable operating model for people, policy, support, and compliance.

Training

Operator onboarding, mission planning, sensor workflows, recurrent proficiency, and agency procedures should be considered before deployment.

Support

Plan for batteries, spares, field replacement, maintenance, software, warranty, repair turnaround, and lifecycle support.

Compliance

Platform eligibility, NDAA requirements, state-approved options, airspace rules, local policy, cybersecurity, data handling, and procurement conditions can all affect selection.

Compliant platform options available, including NDAA-compliant and state-approved manufacturers.We can source around the agency's stated requirements.
