Projects

Fixed-wing UAV platforms & rapid manufacturing

Flying prototypes

UAV platforms developed from scratch: airframe geometry, structural layout, electronics integration and launch subsystems.

  • R&D on monolithic FDM-printed structures up to 2.5 m wingspan — without the typical weak points of conventional 3D-printed airframes
  • Folding-wing concepts for compact transport and deployment
  • Container-based pneumatic launcher for concealed field launch
  • Iterative build–fly–refine cycles with weight budgeting per component

Ground Control & Ground View stations

Field-tested MVP

Modular operator stations built into compact IP67 transport cases — open the lid and the station is ready: integrated display, controls, communications and power.

  • Paired GCS + GVS setup for a primary operator and assistant operator
  • Sealed external connector panel: power, Ethernet, RF, optical fiber
  • Modular subsystem layout designed for fast field service
  • Encrypted digital video and low-latency control handling
Full system layout: carbon mast relay, fiber reel, GCS and GVS operator stations with annotated components GCS and GVS stations linked together during a field session Ground Control Station with integrated control sticks Station cases packed in transport backpacks Ground View Station in an open IP67 case

Full relay chain: mast node → fiber/UTP → operator stations. Two-case setup packs into standard backpacks.

9-meter carbon mast & relay systems

Field-tested MVP

A 9 m (29.5 ft) carbon-fiber mast weighing just 3 kg (6.6 lb), engineered for one-person rapid deployment as a communications relay node.

  • Custom-machined guy-line hardware and clamp system
  • Mast-top antenna/relay head with remote antenna control
  • Relay architecture linking operator stations over wireless, Ethernet and optical fiber
  • Deployed and refined through field cycles across 2024

Tracked UGV platforms

Field-tested prototypes

Small tracked ground vehicles built from scratch — chassis, tracked mobility system, power electronics and control modules.

  • Rapid-manufacturing approach for tracks and drivetrain components
  • Open, modular architecture: integrates third-party RX/TX and control systems, no vendor lock-in
  • Durability testing on sand, slopes and stairs — field cycles through 2025

Field clips: traction test on loose sand · stair climbing, 2025.

Secure command & control links

Working modules · live demo

Custom radio-control modules (ESP32 + LoRa) running an in-house encrypted, frequency-hopping (FHSS) control protocol with configurable channel plans and mesh scenarios.

  • Bench demo: the link hops across the band (SDR spectrum view, right) while the receiver holds a stable, low-latency control stream
  • Low-latency handoff of control between operators and relay nodes
  • Encrypted control, telemetry and digital video paths
  • Interoperable with third-party RX/TX and telemetry components

Live bench test: receiver channel output (left) stays steady while the carrier hops across the band (SDR waterfall, right).

Embedded vision & terminal tracking

Proof of concept

Compact low-power vision module (Raspberry Pi Zero class, OpenCV) for visual target acquisition and lock — designed to keep an unmanned platform on task when GPS and the control link degrade.

  • Bench-validated target acquisition and tracking (2023)
  • Designed as an integration building block for UAV and GCS architectures
