QERIS

QERIS builds autonomy



We provide full mission autonomy and terrain-masked navigation - across drone platforms

Autonomous mission execution: Mission planning, optimal path planning, nap-of-earth navigation, search, target detection, tracking and precision approach

Ultra-low RF reliance
Human-in-the-loop for key authorizations

Terrain-masked flight: Flies low (<10m), using terrain clutter to hide and evade radar detection, in contested environments

No LiDAR
No pre-mapping
Hardware-agnostic autonomy stack interoperable across UAV platforms, sensor suites, and mission payloads
Multirotors
Fixed-wing
VTOL

Integrate AI PILOT without building a new stack

Supported UAV Platforms / Protocols
  • Platform agnostic, supports UAVs with different flight controllers (Ardupilot, PX4) using MAVLINK
BASELINE SENSOR REQUIREMENTS
  • Camera-only baseline: Runs with a standard monocular EO camera — no LiDAR or specialized perception sensors required
MODULAR SENSOR & PAYLOAD INTEGRATION
  • Plug-in architecture: Add EO/IR, LiDAR, radar, RF or mission-specific payloads as the mission evolves, without rebuilding the autonomy stack
Near term roadmap feature
Processing Requirements
  • Low SWaP-C deployment model. Runs on device with commodity compute; exact specs vary with mission requirements
User Interface
  • TAK Compatible

Defence

  • Mission focus: close to mid-range (<50km), ground-hugging/evasive navigation, in degraded environments
  • Tactical reconnaissance and surveillance
  • Target acquisition and persistent tracking
  • Precision engagement

Civilian

  • Drone as first responder: Automatically deploy upon 911 call, stream video to responding officers, maintain track of suspects
  • Search & rescue: Search hazardous areas, locate missing persons, and relay live situational awareness
  • Border patrol: Monitor remote borders, detect illegal crossings, and stream real-time intelligence to patrol teams

Your AI autonomy partner

  • Integrate your way: From software-only integration using your camera and processor, to a full QERIS compute-and-camera integration
  • Add the AI pilot: Bring autonomous mission planning, terrain-hugging navigation, area search, and target tracking to your drones
  • Keep improving through software: Continuously upgrade autonomy performance and add new mission capabilities as QERIS evolves

Build sovereign capability

  • Choose the right drone for every mission: Source from different UAV suppliers as requirements evolve, without locking your autonomy capability to a single OEM
  • Build with your local industry: Deploy QERIS on locally produced or assembled drones to strengthen sovereign UAV capability and reduce dependence on foreign platforms
  • Shape the autonomy with us: Work directly with QERIS to tailor autonomy models to your doctrine, terrain, targets, and mission requirements—rather than buying a fixed black-box capability

Focus on the mission, not on flying the drone

  • Command by objective: Define where to go, what to search for, and what to track—QERIS translates the objective into an executable mission
  • Offload the hardest, repetitive tasks: Qeris handles stealth navigation, searching, and tracking—freeing operators to focus on the tactical picture, prioritize what matters, and make mission-critical decisions
  • Stay in control: Monitor mission progress and imagery while QERIS executes autonomously, with the operator retaining authority over critical mission decisions
