Affordability shouldn’t mean compromise.

That’s been the idea behind Albatross from the beginning: build a capable, flexible UAS that gives teams what they actually need without driving the price through the roof.

NDAA-compliant. Ready to fly from $9,000. Onboard compute. Hot-swappable payloads. Customizable payload power. Open architecture. Built to integrate with the sensors, systems and mission equipment your operation requires.

Albatross isn’t designed around one mission.

It’s designed to become the aircraft you need.

Heavy lift, without the heavy drama.

We built SkyBeam because operators need a drone that can carry real payloads, fly real missions, and keep working when one unavailable component threatens to slow everything down.

U.S.-built. NDAA-compliant. 60+ minute endurance. Up to 14 lbs of payload. Modular rails. Open architecture. Field-repairable thinking baked in from day one.

Basically: more capability, fewer headaches.
SkyBeam was created for teams who need a platform they can adapt, deploy, and actually count on - whether that’s defense, public safety, inspection, emergency response, or whatever the mission throws at them next.

Built for the field. Priced for scale. Ready for the work.
