ONE PLATFORM

INFINITE APPLICATIONS

A modular ecosystem built for absolute flexibility. Customize your capabilities instantly by hot-swapping payloads, data links, and power systems.

THE HIGHCAT STACK

To ensure reliable and secure operation, the HIGHCAT stack is built around a streamlined core configuration. This intuitive architecture enables users to quickly understand, configure, and adapt their equipment.

01PLATFORM

MODULAR DRONE PLATFORM

The core aircraft. One modular carrier platform replaces the need for multiple specialised drones. Simply attach the required payload, and the aircraft is configured for the mission at hand.

02CONNECTIVITY

INTERCHANGEABLE DATALINKS

The secure link to the aircraft. Connect your chosen interchangeable data link module directly to our network router 'CATALYST' to establish a secure connection to the aircraft.

03GROUND CONTROL

INTUITIVE COMMANDS

Clear command, no visual noise. Choose a handheld controller for highly mobile tasks or a tablet base station for collaborative setups. Both connect through an intelligent local network hub that securely routes live data and video to your wider team.

04SOFTWARE

INTELLIGENT SOFTWARE

Intelligent assistance for complex environments. Our onboard software automatically detects and tracks subjects and navigates precisely without GPS signals, allowing operators to focus entirely on the mission.

MODULAR SYSTEM

PLUG-AND-PLAY CUSTOMISATION

The modular system architecture enables a single drone platform to be configured for a wide range of mission requirements. Interchangeable payloads support long-range missions, the delivery of aid supplies, as well as surveillance and reconnaissance tasks. Thanks to standardised electro-mechanical interfaces, payloads can be integrated and exchanged quickly. This reduces complexity while maximizing operational flexibility.

CAMERA PAYLOAD

FLICK

This plug-and-play camera payload delivers high-performance observation and reconnaissance capabilities in a compact, interchangeable package. The 3-axis stabilised gimbal provides smooth, precise imagery in flight, ensuring reliable target observation even in demanding operational environments.

INTERCHANGABLE BATTERIES

POWER PACK 39

High-energy-density 39 Ah battery packs with an integrated BMS. Fast charging restores full capacity in under one hour. XT90-compatible interfaces enable rapid battery exchange and support third-party battery systems. Integrated pre-heating ensures reliable operation in low-temperature environments.

SECURE DATALINKS

FOR EVERY ENVIRONMENT

Adapt your communication to your surroundings with interchangeable, secure data links. Because operational requirements and environments change, you should never be locked into a single communication method.

PUBLIC SAFETY

CIVIL GRADE LINK

A flexible wireless connection operates on public frequency bands. Intelligent frequency hopping ensures reliable data links for civil and emergency response operations.

INTELLIGENT SOFTWARE

FOCUS ON THE TASK, NOT THE TOOL

Our software stack runs directly onboard the hardware to significantly reduce cognitive load and enhance safety during complex tasks.

COPILOT MODE

Seamlessly split the workload during complex tasks. Let one team member focus entirely on safely piloting the aircraft, while another independently manages the camera and payloads.

OBJECT DETECTION & TRACKING

Onboard edge-AI automatically detects, classifies, and tracks key subjects, like people and vehicles, in real-time. The camera stays locked on the subject so operators can focus on the broader situation.

GNSS-DENIED NAVIGATION

When GPS signals are unavailable or disrupted you can activate camera-based localisation matched against offline maps, to ensure your drone can always navigate safely and with precise coordinates.
