A lightweight, foldable, hand‑deployable drone platform and fleet ecosystem built for continuous, wide‑area situational awareness. Each drone combines on‑board edge AI, high‑resolution camera and resilient comms to detect, classify, and track vehicles, equipment and personnel in contested or austere environments. A central fleet‑management system orchestrates swarms, automates handovers, and maintains a verified chain of evidence — delivering persistent coverage across large areas while remaining low‑cost, transportable and field‑ready.
