Commercial self-driving expertise, applied to defense aerospace.

An aircraft a unit can build, repair, or reconfigure in half an hour, in the field.

100,000 FPV systems into Ukraine, and a way for a unit to build its own.

An attack drone that flies almost without training, from a rangefinder and a phone.

Drones treated as ammunition, milled in Alabama, cheap enough to lose.

One operator coordinating a fleet, proven on the Ukrainian front line.

Run the control link down a fiber, and jamming stops mattering.

The radios connecting drones, sensors, and soldiers, in eighteen armed forces.

Magpie UMS is a modular, open-architecture VTOL unmanned aircraft system designed around MOSA principles, dual-payload operations, and a right-to-repair philosophy to reduce lifecycle costs while accelerating capability insertion and future modernization.

Former SOF training SOCOM on kinetic FPV, and building the aircraft too.

Protect the signal at the antenna, and the aircraft keeps flying wireless.

A rucksack for drones, because the drones keep breaking in transit.

One platform for every unmanned system, from training to operation to after-action review.
