About Us
What we do.
Drone Operations is an American drone manufacturer. We design and build the Hive, a group of drones that flies and thinks as one. Give the Hive a mission in plain language and it carries it out together, dividing the work across the swarm while you stay in command. Nothing else on the market works this way.
How the Hive works.
Every Hive has one Queen and a team of Workers. The Queen leads. It takes your mission, makes the decisions, and directs the Workers. The Workers carry it out, covering ground and gathering what the mission needs while moving as one team. Add Workers to do more. Lose one and the Hive adjusts and keeps going.
What sets us apart.
The Hive thinks for itself, in the air. Most drone swarms depend on a computer back on the ground to do the thinking. Cut that link, jam it, or move out of range, and they stop. The Hive does not. Every decision happens onboard, so it keeps working when the connection is gone.
Your drones or ours.
There are two ways to field the Hive. Buy a complete Hive from us, Queen and Workers built and ready. Or license the Hive software and run it on drones you already operate, as long as they meet what the Queen and Workers need to run. The Hive meets your hardware where it is. The more capable a Worker's onboard computer, the more it decides for itself with the Queen supervising. On lighter or older hardware, the Queen takes over and flies the Worker directly. Either way, the Queen leads and the mission gets done.
