We write the layer around PX4 and ArduPilot: branded ground stations, mission SDKs, companion ROS 2, fleet maps, logs. Scoped to your airframe and the job. Not a product catalog. Not a cloud you have to join.
Open-source flight software is the majority of new commercial builds. The gap is the software around it — branding, mission logic, companion computers, logs, a second vehicle.
That is the work we take. Requirement first. Software second. Nothing extra the catalog cannot support.
Software cannot exceed the catalog. We do not arm the vehicle.

These are the briefs that stall on a default GCS, a SITL-only sample, or a log that never left the flight controller.
Default Mission Planner and QGC read as hobby tools. OEMs need brand, fewer setup pages, and payload status the customer paid for.
MAVSDK samples assume SITL. Shops stall on telemetry, system id, and ArduPilot vs PX4 offboard differences.
DataFlash fills the flight controller. Crash reviews fail because nobody pulled the .BIN.
PX4 on one airframe, ArduPilot on another. Two GCSs. No shared geofence.
Vision and SLAM on Jetson. Rate loop stays on the FC. Operators want that boundary written down.
Field failures show up first as missing sensors. Teams want to inject that before a demo. The sim is a stand-in, not a digital twin.
Bring the airframe list and the mission. We return software that fits that list — white-label GCS, an SDK, a companion node, or a bench.
Your brand on the software the crew already knows how to fly.
Mission Planner for ArduPilot Windows shops. QGroundControl custom builds for tablets and mixed fleets — logo, colors, hidden DIY setup, custom Fly view, payload panels, map tiles, preflight checklists. QGC is a custom-build framework; we rebase instead of forking you into a dead tree.
A small API that matches the job, not the whole GCS.
MAVSDK, pymavlink, or ROS 2 wrappers scoped to one mission loop: survey grid, inspect-and-hold, payload trigger, GPS-denied loiter. We wire the radio path you actually use — serial telemetry, not only SITL UDP — and keep actuators behind an operator approval boundary.
Jetson or Pi that talks to the FC without becoming a second cockpit.
Camera and IMU drivers, stereo topic contracts, automatic DataFlash offload after disarm, onboard record. The companion publishes what the algorithm needs. It does not arm or fly the rate loop.
One self-hosted map when the shop outgrows a single GCS window.
Mixed PX4 and ArduPilot vehicles, geofenced zones, per-vehicle missions. Stays on your network. Built for operators who refuse a mandatory cloud.
The flight happened. The .BIN should not vanish with the FC.
Companion archival after landing, vibration and EKF reviews, operator-readable reports. We do not replace Mission Planner Auto Analysis — we make sure the log exists and the next flight can use it.
Prove the algorithm on a hardware-matched stand-in before the field.
ROS 2 + Gazebo Harmonic test cases: GPS deny, drop a camera, watch SLAM degrade honestly. The sim cannot exceed the catalog airframe. This is a stand-in, not a digital twin.
Sensors, radios, companion computer, GCS the crew already uses. The sim and the SDK cannot invent a camera you do not have.
What the operator steers. What the software may publish. Actuators stay with the human. We do not arm.
Branded GCS installer, SDK, or ROS 2 image. Source and a bench you can re-run. We stay for integration, not a slide deck.
OEM, operator, or lab. Dual-use and defence-adjacent software. Hubli.
Airframe catalog, flight controller, GCS in use today, the mission the stock tool misses.
No unproven customers, production, or weapons language. Software cannot exceed the catalog.
Tell us the vehicle catalog, the GCS you ship today, and what the operator must do that the stock tools will not. We reply with a scoped brief — not a generic proposal.
