How EdgeAI works

From dataset to drone — and back

Models are trained on a GPU cluster, optimised for on‑board inference, and run at the edge on the aircraft. Detections stream over 5G to the cloud, while field data feeds a continuous retraining loop — and improved models are pushed straight back to the drone.

How EdgeAI works — the DroneAI pipeline: base dataset (vehicles, people, fire, smoke) to base model training on a GPU cluster, edge-optimised deployment, on-board real-time detection on the UAV streaming over 5G to the DroneAI Cloud, AI GCS dashboard and BVLOS mission control, then re-annotation, review and iterative model improvement in a continuous learning loop, with new models pushed OTA back to the drone.

5G · Remote Operation

Fly, drive and deliver — over 5G

5G turns the radio-range limit into a network-range platform: beyond‑line‑of‑sight control, drone delivery and a live digital twin — on public or private 5G.

Range

Beyond line of sight

No RF-range ceiling — command drones and robots over the cellular network, city-wide and beyond, with automatic link failover.

Delivery

Delivery & logistics

5G-connected drone delivery — dispatch, track and control every sortie from the cloud, at range.

Digital Twin

Digital twin over 5G

A live digital twin of every machine — telemetry, video and 3D position mirrored in the cloud in real time, and fully replayable.

Secure

Private 5G + VPN

Runs on private 5G with an on‑prem VPN — encrypted end‑to‑end, so your data never leaves your network.

BVLOS · 5G

Flying beyond sight

BVLOS lets one operator supervise many drones, reach the length of a pipeline or a delivery route, and get to an emergency before the patrol car. The question is whether the drone has a link you can trust.

Open as a page

The BVLOS problems

  • Single point of failure — if the only link drops, the drone returns home or flies on without control.
  • Line-of-sight dependence — buildings, trees, hills and the drone's own banking block the radio.
  • Ground-facing towers — up high, drones get weak side-lobe signal and interference from many towers.
  • Security — a drone that accepts internet connections can be attacked.
  • No shared picture — every drone has its own pilot and screen, and flight records go missing.

The 5G answer — five layers of link

  • 5G primary — video, telemetry and commands over existing networks below ~100 m.
  • Automatic 4G fallback — the session stays up when 5G fades.
  • Second operator — a second modem on a second network covers the gaps.
  • 2.4 GHz RC radio — kept as an independent backup.
  • Pre-set failsafe — continue, loiter then return home, or return home.

All traffic is authenticated and encrypted, and drones only make outbound connections.

Upgrade the drones you already fly

Onboard Edge AI, a 5G link, DroneAI C2 and your own AI training with DroneAI Studio — for the drones and rovers already in service. Built for security forces: Army, BSF, CISF.

Open as a page

Close the OODA loop — decisions in seconds, not minutes

Drones already observe. Recognising, deciding and acting still run at human speed. DroneAI adds onboard Edge AI, 5G and a Common Operating Picture (COP) to the drones you already operate.

Observe

Edge AI watches

Today: operators watch feeds for hours and miss small targets.
With DroneAI: Edge AI detects persons, vehicles and drones, day and night.

Orient

On the C2 map

Today: what the drone sees stays on the pilot's screen.
With DroneAI: every detection reaches the C2 map as a geo-tagged alert in seconds.

Decide

Automated DRI

Today: DRI by eye; footage re-checked after landing.
With DroneAI: automated DRI, with targets ranked by priority.

Act

Task the nearest drone

Today: response cued late, by radio.
With DroneAI: task the nearest drone from the detection; grid shared with the response team.

Automated DRI, sent as data

Detection, recognition and identification run on the drone, on EO and thermal video. Each result reaches the control room as a record — class, confidence, time, location — that can be mapped, searched and reported.

C2 redundancy

  • 4G/5G runs alongside the existing RF link.
  • Edge AI keeps working on board if a link drops.
  • When video cannot pass, detections still go through as small data packets.
  • C2 on DroneAI cloud or on your own servers.

Where it can be used

Critical infrastructure · CISFPerimeter intrusion alerts at airports, ports, refineries and power plants, with location on the control-room COP.
Border and creeks · BSFPeople at the fence and boats in creeks and riverine borders, detected at night; animals filtered out.
Unit perimeter · ArmyCounter-infiltration along tree lines and approaches; every sortie saved and searchable.

Connectivity · Nothing removed, nothing retrained

How it connects to your drone

One DroneAI module joins the flight controller, camera and RC radio you already have. The pilot keeps the RF link; encrypted 4G/5G adds a link to DroneAI C2. The same wiring applies to every upgrade kit.

Hardware · Intelligence at the Edge

One platform, every form factor

EdgeAI OS runs detection on a dedicated on‑board AI processor — so the mission keeps thinking even when the link doesn't. Every DroneAI unit carries that intelligence at the edge and streams encrypted over 5G to one C2 Cloud, from an all‑in‑one AI module to a rugged telemetry link.

Discover the technology
DroneAI hardware system architecture — onboard intelligence & connectivity (EdgeAI OS, AI Models, Secure Telemetry, AI Processor, 5G Modem, Flight Controller) on the drone with GPS, Lidar, gimbal IP camera and depth camera; encrypted data over a 5G NR link and a 2.4 GHz RF telemetry/video link to the ground station; up to the DroneAI Cloud (on-prem capable), the AI GCS dashboard, Mission Control BVLOS and remote secure access over VPN/TLS.

Flagship · Integrated Mission Platform

CubeAI 5G

The complete brain for an autonomous machine in a single module — the EdgeAI OS and a dedicated AI processor running detection models, a Cube Orange+ class flight controller, a 5G modem and secure telemetry. Because inference runs on-board, the mission keeps thinking even when the link drops; detections are made at the edge and streamed over 5G to the C2 Cloud. The same module fits a UAV, a UGV or a USV.

Connectivity · Link Resilience

Cube 5G · Cube 5G SL

The connectivity-first member of the family, built so the link is never the weak point. It layers three paths — low-latency 2.4 GHz RF for line-of-sight, NR 5G for cellular range, and Starlink for anywhere else. When one drops, the next takes over automatically, orchestrated from the cloud — genuine BVLOS for long-range, denied and maritime missions. The Cube 5G SL variant carries Starlink integrated on the airframe itself.
