Beyond drones · One platform, air and ground

Rovers and boats

The same onboard AI and DroneAI C2 also run on ground robots (over 5G) and unmanned boats (over their own radio link).

Autonomous rover

  • Live 3D map from LiDAR and depth cameras
  • Click-to-goal navigation with collision avoidance
  • Thermal camera with saved detections
  • Change detection between scans
  • EdgeAI5G: multi-LiDAR self-navigation, 12 V power
  • Video, maps and thermal over 5G
Unmanned boat USVUSV

Unmanned boats

  • ArduPilot on a Cube flight controller
  • AI companion computer on board
  • Controlled over its own radio link
  • Watched from the same DroneAI C2

Also in service: DroneAI 5G telemetry and C2 run dumper trucks on a private 5G network.

Why DroneAI

Upgrade what you fly — don't replace it

The kit mounts beside the autopilot on one cable. Nothing is removed and nothing is retrained: the pilot keeps the radio, and the commander gets AI alerts and live video over 5G.

Keeps your fleetAny MAVLink drone (ArduPilot, PX4); closed commercial drones via EdgeAI at the ground station.
Non-Chinese, NDAA-compliant5G modem on n78 (3.3–3.8 GHz), separate from your 2.4/5.8 GHz RC bands.
Your data, your serversEncrypted tunnel, outbound connections only; host C2 and AI training on-prem.
Works when the link dropsAI keeps running on board; detections go through as small packets and the RC link stays as backup.

How we start

From a demo flight to a deployed unit

Start small on your own drones, prove it in your sector, then roll it out.

Step 1

5G flight demo

We fly a DroneAI-equipped drone over 5G with live video, AI detections and C2 on screen.

Step 2

Fit your drones

The kit goes on drones you already operate — telemetry, Ethernet, 5 V power and a SIM.

Step 3

Train on your targets

DroneAI Studio adds the classes your sector needs, from your own footage, on your servers.

Step 4

Deploy across units

Pilot, commander and headquarters on one C2 picture, with replay and reports for every sortie.

Proven in the field

Flown with defence, research and industry

Indian Army

Unit perimeter and ISR

Edge AI detection of persons and vehicles with geo-tagged alerts to the command post; every sortie saved and searchable.

C-DAC · private 5G

Amlohri coal mine

Drones and dumper trucks on one private 5G network and one dashboard — aerial video, LiDAR and truck telemetry together.

Questions buyers ask

Before you decide

Do we have to replace our drones?

No. The kit mounts beside the autopilot on one cable: telemetry to the flight controller, Ethernet to the camera and RC air unit, 5 V power and a SIM. Nothing is removed and nothing is retrained, and the pilot keeps the existing RC link.

What happens if 5G drops?

The link falls back to 4G automatically; Telem5G Duo adds a second modem on a second operator; the 2.4 GHz RC radio stays as an independent backup; and a pre-set failsafe decides whether to continue, loiter and return, or return home. Edge AI keeps detecting on board and sends results when the link returns.

Where does our video and data go?

To DroneAI C2 on our cloud or on your own servers — your choice. Traffic is encrypted and drones only make outbound connections. With DroneAI Studio, footage, labels and models stay on your network.

Is any of it Chinese hardware?

The 5G modem is non-Chinese and NDAA-compliant.

Which drones does it work with?

Any MAVLink drone (ArduPilot or PX4) and RTSP cameras. For closed commercial drones, EdgeAI 5G Lite or EdgeAI 5G runs at the ground station.

How do we start?

With a 5G flight demo, then a field trial on your own drones. Use the contact page or call +91 98866 91115.
