Aerospace & Defense
Modern inertial navigation systems suffer from cumulative drift, require periodic external corrections (GPS, star trackers, radio beacons), and remain vulnerable to interference, signal spoofing, satellite failures, and geopolitical denial of service. Satellite navigation creates orbital debris. Submarines, deep-space probes, strategic platforms, Arctic/underwater drones, hypersonic vehicles,
AEROSHIELD™
Stealth Drone Using Smart Camouflage and Signature Reduction Technologies Project Objective
The aim of this project is to develop an Stealth Drone that can be near- invisibility to both human observers and detection systems. The drone achieves stealth through visual camouflage, reduced acoustic and thermal signatures, and optimized radio-frequency communication techniques.
The Portable Intermittent Fault Detector (PIFD) product family is an advanced prognostic and diagnostic tool that is purpose-built to supplement traditional test equipment and address the decades-old issue of intermittent failures that drive No Fault Found (NFF) test results.
What problem does PropWings solve?
The commercial viability of electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft is severely bottlenecked by battery energy density limitations. Compounding this is a critical aerodynamic "dead zone" during the transition between vertical hover and forward flight, where conventional fixed wings remain aerodynamically inert until forward momentum is achieved.
Every aircraft that has ever flown has depended on one of two things: consuming energy or carrying a lifting gas. ATLAS challenges that assumption.
For over 300 years, engineers have recognised that a vacuum is the ultimate lifting medium. Unlike helium or hydrogen, a vacuum can never leak away because it contains nothing.
Flexible Thread Technology (FFS) was invented by Robert Fullerton in 1979 and has 6 U.S. patents granted and 4 new, “Automatically Mechanically Locking Fastener/Coupler” provisional patents proposed in his name at this time. The concept utilizes an outer body containing three threaded fasteners.
Drone failures don’t have to end in loss.
Turning Failures into Controlled Outcomes.
Adaptive Resilient UAV System (ARUS) is a supervised-autonomy framework designed to enable industrial drones to detect, respond to, and survive real-time system degradation or failure while maintaining mission continuity.
Flexible Thread Technology (FFS) was invented by Robert Fullerton in 1979 and has 6 U.S. patents granted and 4 new, “Automatically Mechanically Locking Fastener/Coupler” provisional patents.
The success of these projects prompted NASA to include FFS Technology as a “Recommended Technique for Effective Maintainability in Selection of Robotically Compatible Fasteners and Handling Mechanisms”.
What problem does the innovation solve?
Rear-mounted pusher-propeller aircraft typically suffer from a severe reduction in control authority at low airspeeds (such as during low-speed STOL operations or VTOL transition phases) because traditional tail surfaces rely on forward velocity to generate aerodynamic force. Mechanically, rear-propulsion architectures introduce massive Center of Gravity (CG) challenges;
