Rii

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

What it does

Rii breaks a complex mission into small autonomous sub-missions and hands them to individual aircraft, so an operator coordinates a group rather than flying one drone at a time. It is deliberately not a swarm product. The software is hardware and communications agnostic, works across ArduPilot and PX4 fleets, and plugs into ATAK, LIRA, and DELTA. It also handles visual navigation without GPS, target tracking, and terminal guidance, and the company keeps mission-level decisions with the operator by design.
