Safety & Precision Built In

We treat safety as an engineering challenge. Every part of the system was designed to eliminate friction, reduce failure points, and eliminate single-point dependencies. Our platform provides operators with oversight from takeoff to landing, along with the tools they need to make informed decisions in real-time.

In-House Tech Stack

We perform continuous flight testing, firmware validation, and environmental modeling at our FAA registered field in Michigan.

Firefly Launch System

A proprietary launch system that locks spacing, protects signal integrity, and ensures choreography executes as intended.

Safety Tech

Our Pilot App includes a built-in safety geofence that locks in and protects your designated launch area. It prevents drones from ever leaving the approved perimeter, ensuring every flight stays contained, controlled, and secure from takeoff to landing.

Redundant GPS Network

Multi-band and multi-constellation GNSS for precise formation flight, even in challenging environments.

Full In-House Manufacturing

We build and maintain our own drones, batteries, components, and firmware for unmatched reliability.

Expert Oversight

Every show is reviewed by a compliance team experienced in FAA regulations, flight risk analysis, and safe launch planning.
