The Unmanned Company.

From aerospace research to counter-drone planning.

Bringing experimental thinking to decisions about real sites.

Why we started

How a drone behaves in a model matters only if the model helps answer a real question.

Our work began with aerospace research into multi-rotor behaviour. Today, that research is shaping our family of counter-drone software.

The Unmanned Company: multi-rotor modelling and flight-testing research, incorporation in 2022, and today’s software family: CUAS Planner, CUAS Watch and CUAS World.
