Under the hood
On-board intelligence, resilient connectivity and secure, no-code deployment — the stack behind every DroneAI product.
System architecture
Sensors feed the on-board AI processor; detections and telemetry stream encrypted over 5G to the command post and the cloud.
The four pillars
EdgeAI OS runs detection on a dedicated AI processor — real-time video with inference decoupled from telemetry, so annotated video never stalls the pipeline. Detection is tuned to the mission and can be retrained without changing the hardware.
Layered 2.4 GHz + NR5G + Starlink with automatic failover. Runs on private 5G — delivered with partners including BSNL (private 5G), Netar (5G core) and Tejas (5G radio).
128-bit encrypted telemetry, secure boot, signed firmware and a private VPN — DGCA Sec-7 ready for regulated deployments.
ISR, perimeter & intrusion detection, monitoring, and Lidar collision-avoidance for GPS-denied navigation — plus target lock-n-hit, precision dropping and follow mode.
On-device perception
Detection runs on the module itself, so the machine keeps perceiving even when the link drops. Every detection is geotagged and streamed to the dashboard the moment the network is there.
People and vehicles picked out from an aerial vantage — the hard case that off-the-shelf models miss, tuned for altitude, angle and small targets.
Boats, wide-area movement and perimeter activity across land and water — the same unit on a UAV, UGV or USV sees the scene the same way.
Thermal and RGB together for fire, heat signatures and detection through darkness or smoke, where a visible-only camera goes blind.
Each detection carries a location and timestamp, aggregated on the cloud map and replayable against the recorded flight for after-action review.
Detection categories are tuned to the mission — the on-device model can be trained and swapped for a specific operation without changing the hardware.
Why DroneAI
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.
Proven in the field
Edge AI detection of persons and vehicles with geo-tagged alerts to the command post; every sortie saved and searchable.
Drones and dumper trucks on one private 5G network and one dashboard — aerial video, LiDAR and truck telemetry together.

Questions buyers ask
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.
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.

How EdgeAI works
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.
5G · Remote Operation
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.
No RF-range ceiling — command drones and robots over the cellular network, city-wide and beyond, with automatic link failover.
5G-connected drone delivery — dispatch, track and control every sortie from the cloud, at range.
A live digital twin of every machine — telemetry, video and 3D position mirrored in the cloud in real time, and fully replayable.
Runs on private 5G with an on‑prem VPN — encrypted end‑to‑end, so your data never leaves your network.
