Zeus

Hybrid-frame FPV trainer · ArduPilot safety net

Hybrid carbon-fibre and fibreglass FPV platform that bridges high-speed racing and stabilised camera drones. The rigid CF core keeps manoeuvres precise while impact-resistant fibreglass arms and reinforced motor mounts absorb the hard landings of the training phase. An ArduPilot flight controller gives new pilots a safety net: auto-level Stabilize, GPS Loiter, and one-switch Return-to-Launch with signal-loss and low-battery failsafe. Live telemetry (voltage, GPS, altitude, speed) streams straight into the pilot's goggles.

Gandiva

Interceptor quadcopter · swarm-capable

Gandiva is a counter-drone system in two parts: a detection layer that uses multi-sensor fusion to spot and track a hostile UAV, and an interceptor layer that deploys drones to bring it down — the whole engagement run from a single Ground Control Unit. Each interceptor is a carbon-fibre 450-class quadcopter, stabilised by an ArduPilot autopilot and fitted with a kinetic tip. It dashes at 90–126 km/h, and 2–10+ can fly together for a layered, sensor-cued intercept.

Swarm

Autonomous master–slave swarm · distributed intelligence

Swarm is a coordinated team of drones: one 'master' leading any number of others, all built on the 5-inch Zeus quadcopter. They fly as a single formation, covering more ground than a lone UAV while the mission carries on even if a drone drops out. If the master is lost or neutralised, another drone automatically takes over the lead and the rest fall in behind it — so there's no single point of failure. The swarm's intelligence runs onboard each aircraft, coordinating the formation over a long-range radio link, with every drone on a proven ArduPilot autopilot for stable, GPS-guided flight. Automatic return-to-launch and auto-land failsafes bring the drones home safely, and the whole swarm is flown and monitored from a single ground station for tactical, surveillance and autonomy research.
