StratoDrop

01 — StratoDrop

Autonomous delivery to the edge.

Powered models for range and loiter, glide models for lighter, lower-cost drops: from 25 kg to 2,000 kg and beyond. One pod architecture, one autonomy stack.

02 — What it’s for

Long-range resupply without a runway.

Built for contested environments: where roads are cut, runways don’t exist, and no crew should fly.

Defense · Contested and denied

Contested logistics

Sustain forward units across contested ground. Released at standoff altitude and range, StratoDrop flies the last leg itself: no aircraft over the threat, no crew at risk.

100+ km standoff
It can land more than 100 km from where it was released, so the release point stays well clear of the threat.
To the unit, not a drop zone
It lands at the unit’s position, within 20 m, so no one has to clear a drop zone or search for the payload.

Contested logistics: StratoDrop under its paraglider at dusk, descending over mountains toward a small forward position in a valley.

Defense · Contested and denied

Special operations

Precise, low-signature delivery to small teams in denied areas, beyond line of sight, and designed to keep going when GPS or the link doesn’t.

Covert and quiet
It glides in under canopy, with no downwash or dust cloud to mark the team’s position.
Direct-to-team resupply
Batteries, medical supplies and radios, delivered to the team where it is.

Special operations: StratoDrop at night, high above dark ridgelines, heading for a faint marker in the valley.

Civil and commercial

Disaster and remote

Disaster response
Medical kits, water and power into places cut off by floods, fires and earthquakes.
Remote sites
Parts and samples to ships, stations and field sites far from any runway.

Disaster response: StratoDrop on final approach to dry high ground above a flooded town.

03 — Expeditionary by design

Launch anywhere. Fly denied. Leave it behind.

Expendable when it has to be, never at the expense of the mission. Every aircraft flies the full autonomy stack, and none is too valuable to send.

Built for air deployment from balloons, aircraft and drones, or for ground launch.
SATCOM keeps it reporting beyond line of sight, and a secondary, non-GPS position source keeps it on course when GPS is jammed or denied.
Proven commercial components and a lean, serviceable design keep every airframe affordable: reusable when recovered, expendable when the mission demands it.
The pusher buys range and loiter; the glide models trade it for reduced weight and cost.

04 — Built on INTELLACT

Aerial autonomy. Driven by INTELLACT.

StratoDrop is where INTELLACT flies first: the onboard autonomy we build for vehicles from air to orbit, proven on our own aircraft.

Guidance Plans the glide and flies it to the mark, correcting for wind all the way down.
Health Watches the wing, winches, motor and sensors — and adapts when one degrades.
Link loss Built to hold the plan when the radio drops, and report in over SATCOM.
