About the Company

We use a technology with great potential, transformed into a unique solution, the most compact 3-band interferometric radar in the world.

From a remote sensing radar that weighed 100 kg and was transported by aviation, we developed a radar that weighs 3 kg and can be shipped into a class 3 drone.
