fly aware
Our Development Partner Program opens new possibilities in autonomous VTOL flight, with access to industry-leading capabilities and expert support.
GPS alone is not enough to meet the challenge of real world environments.
With Near Earth Autonomy, you can Fly Aware: Aware of terrain, of obstacles and other aircraft, aware of safe places to land. Aware of the world even when GPS goes dark.
These challenges must be met to realize the future of autonomous flight in the national airspace. Near Earth Autonomy leads the industry in solving them. With our Development Partner Program, you can too.

Fly Safe. Land Safe. Even without GPS.
Near Earth algorithms deliver robust autonomous flight in unknown environments through dedicated sensing and computing payloads adaptable to many air vehicles.
Guidance
Peregrine provides a robust closed-loop guidance system producing smooth flying trajectory and velocity.
Obstacle Detection & Avoidance
During flight, lidar data populates a 3D evidence grid to detect and avoid stationary environment obstacles.
Landing Zone Selection
Safe landings are made possible by scanning potential landing zones and evaluating a safe flight path to touch-down.
Customizable Flight Data Collection
Raw data is recorded and easily exported using the onboard solid-state disk (SSD). Data is suitable for producing 3D point clouds.
Motion Planning
To achieve mission goals, safe paths are created by maintaining a safe margin from obstacles.
