Drone Recovery Systems
Safeguard high value sensor payloads and mitigate extreme ground collateral damage by integrating autonomous ballistic drone recovery parachutes.
How we approach Drone Recovery Systems
Unmanned aerial vehicle engine anomalies present critical liabilities capable of destroying millions in sensitive optical payloads. We design lightweight ballistic parachute modules integrated directly into the fuselage structure.
Coupled directly to the onboard telemetry computer, these explosive ejected canopies deploy upon detecting irrecoverable aerodynamic stalls. The immediate geometric inflation arrests dangerous terminal velocity instantly.
Advanced mechanical dampeners absorb the aggressive opening shock forces preventing the composite airframe from shearing under load. The descending platform drifts predictably to the terrain below saving critical classified optical modules from destruction.
