Cost reduction ➜ Revolutionizing Drone Economics
The primary challenge in drone operations today is the manual effort required for each drone's ground handling. Our Dronehub technology, featuring a suite of patented and patent-pending solutions, eliminates up to 97.5% of daily operational costs by automating routine drone operations. The cost to fly about 240 drones for an hour is comparable to employing one human for the same duration. By slashing the physical and operational expenses, drones transcend into a cost-effective and disruptive force in the Military and commercial sectors.
True Autonomy ➜ Enabling Scalability
The Achilles heel for the drone industry is the lack of true autonomous drone operations.
At present continuous drone operations require human labor to take off and land, manually swap out and charge batteries between flights, as well as load and unload payloads, sensors, or packages.
In addition to being cost-prohibitive, utilizing human touchpoints for drones eliminates the capability to scale drone operations.
Computers can land and take off thousands of drones simultaneously, route and reroute live, integrate safety procedures, and log data on almost every component of a drone and its operation.
The Dronehub, our smart robotic Drone station, enables complete unmanned and scalable Drone operations. A safe, seamless, and scalable flying workforce.
Versatility ➜ Empowering Choice and Integration
No single drone will be perfect for all use cases. Our philosophy is that like gas stations, Drone stations should be agnostic. While there will always be some level of initial integration required, it will take minimal design integration for a drone manufacturer to enable their drone to achieve full autonomous capabilities.
For our customers this means choice. For Drone manufacturers, this means automation opportunity, with minimal resources needed to integrate. OEMs have responded excitedly and Airrow has multiple LOIs from the world top Drone manufacturers.
Ultimate Drone Endurance ➜ Near-Continuous Operation
With the Dronehub, drones gain access to virtually unlimited power, vastly extending their airtime and operational capacity. A single Dronehub can maintain a drone's 99% uptime, facilitating near 24/7 operation. This groundbreaking capability heralds a new era in commercial drone use, where the constraint of battery life is effectively eliminated, paving the way for unprecedented applications across various industries.
In September 2022, Airrow set a global precedent with the Dronehub V1 by conducting, with the US Navy, the world's first successful autonomous battery swaps for a drone on a boat, a groundbreaking achievement. This achievement was only made more impressive by the fact that it was achieved in 25 knot winds with gusts of 30 knots, conditions influenced by the nearby Hurricane Ian.
Such challenging circumstances underscore the reliability and advanced capabilities of our technology, even under extreme weather conditions.
