Built to be a robot's brain

Edge AI, flight control and 5G — as an integrated module, a connectivity upgrade, a retrofit kit, or a rugged telemetry link.

Why DroneAI

Upgrade what you fly — don't replace it

The kit mounts beside the autopilot on one cable. Nothing is removed and nothing is retrained: the pilot keeps the radio, and the commander gets AI alerts and live video over 5G.

Keeps your fleetAny MAVLink drone (ArduPilot, PX4); closed commercial drones via EdgeAI at the ground station.
Non-Chinese, NDAA-compliant5G modem on n78 (3.3–3.8 GHz), separate from your 2.4/5.8 GHz RC bands.
Your data, your serversEncrypted tunnel, outbound connections only; host C2 and AI training on-prem.
Works when the link dropsAI keeps running on board; detections go through as small packets and the RC link stays as backup.

How we start

From a demo flight to a deployed unit

Start small on your own drones, prove it in your sector, then roll it out.

Step 1

5G flight demo

We fly a DroneAI-equipped drone over 5G with live video, AI detections and C2 on screen.

Step 2

Fit your drones

The kit goes on drones you already operate — telemetry, Ethernet, 5 V power and a SIM.

Step 3

Train on your targets

DroneAI Studio adds the classes your sector needs, from your own footage, on your servers.

Step 4

Deploy across units

Pilot, commander and headquarters on one C2 picture, with replay and reports for every sortie.

Proven in the field

Flown with defence, research and industry

Indian Army

Unit perimeter and ISR

Edge AI detection of persons and vehicles with geo-tagged alerts to the command post; every sortie saved and searchable.

C-DAC · private 5G

Amlohri coal mine

Drones and dumper trucks on one private 5G network and one dashboard — aerial video, LiDAR and truck telemetry together.

Questions buyers ask

Before you decide

Do we have to replace our drones?

No. The kit mounts beside the autopilot on one cable: telemetry to the flight controller, Ethernet to the camera and RC air unit, 5 V power and a SIM. Nothing is removed and nothing is retrained, and the pilot keeps the existing RC link.

What happens if 5G drops?

The link falls back to 4G automatically; Telem5G Duo adds a second modem on a second operator; the 2.4 GHz RC radio stays as an independent backup; and a pre-set failsafe decides whether to continue, loiter and return, or return home. Edge AI keeps detecting on board and sends results when the link returns.

Where does our video and data go?

To DroneAI C2 on our cloud or on your own servers — your choice. Traffic is encrypted and drones only make outbound connections. With DroneAI Studio, footage, labels and models stay on your network.

Is any of it Chinese hardware?

The 5G modem is non-Chinese and NDAA-compliant.

Which drones does it work with?

Any MAVLink drone (ArduPilot or PX4) and RTSP cameras. For closed commercial drones, EdgeAI 5G Lite or EdgeAI 5G runs at the ground station.

How do we start?

With a 5G flight demo, then a field trial on your own drones. Use the contact page or call +91 98866 91115.

Hardware · Intelligence at the Edge

One platform, every form factor

EdgeAI OS runs detection on a dedicated on‑board AI processor — so the mission keeps thinking even when the link doesn't. Every DroneAI unit carries that intelligence at the edge and streams encrypted over 5G to one C2 Cloud, from an all‑in‑one AI module to a rugged telemetry link.

DroneAI hardware system architecture — onboard intelligence & connectivity (EdgeAI OS, AI Models, Secure Telemetry, AI Processor, 5G Modem, Flight Controller) on the drone with GPS, Lidar, gimbal IP camera and depth camera; encrypted data over a 5G NR link and a 2.4 GHz RF telemetry/video link to the ground station; up to the DroneAI Cloud (on-prem capable), the AI GCS dashboard, Mission Control BVLOS and remote secure access over VPN/TLS.
CubeAI 5G — integrated mission platform: hardware, EdgeAI OS and Cloud UTM in a compact plug-and-play module for UAVs, UGVs and USVs

Flagship · Integrated Mission Platform

CubeAI 5G

The complete brain for an autonomous machine in a single module — the EdgeAI OS and a dedicated AI processor running detection models, a Cube Orange+ class flight controller, a 5G modem and secure telemetry. Because inference runs on-board, the mission keeps thinking even when the link drops; detections are made at the edge and streamed over 5G to the C2 Cloud. The same module fits a UAV, a UGV or a USV.

Connectivity · Link Resilience

Cube 5G · Cube 5G SL

The connectivity-first member of the family, built so the link is never the weak point. It layers three paths — low-latency 2.4 GHz RF for line-of-sight, NR 5G for cellular range, and Starlink for anywhere else. When one drops, the next takes over automatically, orchestrated from the cloud — genuine BVLOS for long-range, denied and maritime missions. The Cube 5G SL variant carries Starlink integrated on the airframe itself.

EdgeAI 5G retrofit kit

Retrofit Kit

EdgeAI 5G

Make the fleet you already own intelligent. A compact companion computer bolts onto a drone or rover you already operate — mount the unit and your existing airframe gains on-board AI detection and a 5G link. Detection runs locally, so intelligence doesn't depend on the network; encrypted telemetry and detections stream over 5G to the cloud for fleet-wide visibility. Compatible with standard ArduPilot and PX4 vehicles.

Telem 5G — the Telem5G-As140 rugged telemetry module in a sealed aluminium heat-sink case with cooling fan and connector ports

Connectivity · Telemetry

Telem 5G

Rugged 5G telemetry, nothing else to go wrong. The Telem5G-As140 bridges MAVLink and mission data across the cellular network so the flight controller and ground station stay in sync at range — no on-board AI, just rock-solid connectivity. Dual antenna sets for 5G and WiFi, a UART port for external GNSS, plus CAN and Ethernet to the autopilot and payloads, all in a sealed aluminium heat-sink case built for the field.

DroneAI5G Lite — a two-unit edge module: a compact AI Unit (5×8×3 cm) and a 5G Unit (7.5×4×2.5 cm) joined by an extender cable; the 5G Unit carries a MIMO antenna array, SIM card and a JST Ethernet port for IP cameras; the AI Unit connects telemetry to the flight controller and runs off 5V XT30 power.

Lightweight · FPV & Lite Drones

EdgeAI 5G Lite

Edge AI in a reduced form factor — a two‑piece system sized for FPV and lite drones that can't carry a full module. A compact AI Unit (5×8×3 cm) and a 5G Unit (7.5×4×2.5 cm) join by an extender cable, so they fit where a full unit won't. The 5G Unit carries the SIM and antenna array; a JST Ethernet port takes an IP camera, telemetry wires straight to the flight controller, and the whole system runs off 5V (XT30). Same on‑board detection and encrypted 5G streaming as the rest of the line — lighter and lower‑power.
