UAV design & build · North America

Engineered
threads. Built to fly.

We design, build and deliver custom UAVs from the inside out: from a single unit to small and medium production runs. Hardware woven thread by thread, precise, deliberate, human-made.

01 THE STUDIO

02 WHAT WE DO
/ 01

Proof of concept

Functional UAV prototypes to validate an idea before you commit to scale.

/ 02

Custom design & build

We design and build aircraft for a specific mission: inspection, security, mapping, agriculture, R&D.

/ 03

Small & medium production

We manufacture and sell our own drones in batches and fleets, from small to medium runs.

/ 04

Engineering & integration

Your external UAV engineering department: technical integration and judgment.

/ 05

Drone light shows

Choreographed aerial shows. Our founding project, now a flying prototype.

/ 06

Maintenance & training

We keep your fleet flying and train your team to operate it.

03 THE FLEET

The light-show drone

Proprietary UAV built on our own flight controller (LOHM FC), ArduPilot-based firmware with Skybrush swarm choreography, custom high-power RGBW LED board and a Li-ion pack. First flight achieved October 2026. Designed for fleet deployment at events and productions.

  • Proprietary flight controller
  • Custom-built frame
  • Swarm choreography firmware
  • Built for events and productions
  • Available in fleet packages

Agricultural UAV

In design

Precision agriculture: spraying, seeding and crop monitoring.

Monitoring UAV

In design

Area surveillance and perimeter security for sites and communities.

Custom POC

On demand

A functional prototype to validate an idea before you commit to scale.

04 THE APPROACH

Companies with specific UAV needs have had two choices: buy a catalog drone and hope the mission fits it, or stand up a slow, expensive in-house aeronautics team. We're the option in between: we design and build the aircraft the mission actually needs, on our own flight controller and firmware, and deliver it from one unit to a fleet. We fill the gap between the mass-produced and the impossible.

Option A
Catalog drones
Solve the standard mission. Not yours, if yours is specific.
Option B
In-house team
Expensive. Slow. Hard to justify.
Option C · LOHM
Your external UAV studio
Custom UAVs when the catalog falls short. Our stack is already flying: our own flight controller, firmware and LED hardware, validated in-house.
05 ROADMAP

What we're building.

We deliver before we talk. This is what's moving from the workshop to the sky, one proprietary platform at a time.

Light Show Drone

Flying
Done
  • LOHM FC v3.3: our own flight controller (STM32H7 + IOMCU, integrated IMUs, RTK-ready GNSS, onboard Wi-Fi), fabricated and brought up
  • Custom ArduPilot build running on the board, sensors, GPS and ESC chain validated
  • Wireless MAVLink link working (Skybrush ground station connects over Wi-Fi)
  • High-power RGBW LED board v2.2 validated
  • First flight: October 2026
In progress
  • LOHM FC v4: fleet revision (bug fixes, light-show-only BOM, RC input for test units, footprint for our own long-range radio)
  • Airframe design for the production unit (stackable, integrated legs)
  • Flat battery pack and propulsion tuning for 15 to 20 min flight time
  • Multi-drone swarm tests
2027

Commercial launch

Next

The light-show drone reaches the market, delivered in fleet packages for events and productions. First fleet built on LOHM FC v4.

2027

Agriculture & monitoring

In design

The next platforms: precision agriculture (spraying, seeding) and area monitoring. Both reuse the LOHM FC core already flying on the light-show drone, with a mission-specific carrier board.

Beyond

Custom platforms on demand

Ongoing

Our proprietary stack lets us build new mission-specific UAVs quickly, project by project.

From one drone
to a fleet.

If you need something that doesn't exist in a catalog, tell us what you're trying to fly. We'll tell you what's possible, and what we'd build.
