General information

Short Summary
A French SME has developed a software framework for interconnecting and automating several UAVs, their payloads and the information system. Modular algorithms or AI can be used to manage complex, multi-user, multi-technology use cases, by featuring drones with intelligent functionalities (flight plan, precision landing, image processing, target, trajectory etc) to enable them to carry out their missions more effectively. Commercial agreements are being sought with drone manufacturers and users.
Full Description
The French SME is designing certified professional civil UAVs to meet specific needs and complex applications. The SME offers custom-developed UAVs based on a tried-and-tested architecture that draws mainly on Open-Source technologies and their SDK (Software Development Kit).

This innovative company specialises in the development of a set of algorithms / AI for increasing the added value UAVs and enabling maximum configuration to automate drones / swarms in the cases of single-user or multi-user applications. The set of algorithms is already developed in the field of trajectory, distance calculation, video transmission and analysis, AI classification or segmentation.

Roughly fifty algorithms (>60,000 lines of code) have already been implemented. They are modular and ready to improve the capabilities of any drone or swarm with one or more smart features such as flight plan, defined trajectory, swarm control, target tracking, precision landing, battery management... As a result, the combination of functionalities makes the UAVs partially or fully autonomous.

The French company seeks partners and offers commercial agreement and technical assistance towards manufacturers or users with aim to upgrade their drones or swarms.
Advantages and Innovations
The SME has developed a hyper-modular software architecture to equip drones and swarms with new functionalities, whatever the information system.
