01
The problem
UAS teams carry fragmented visibility across maintenance, missions, parts, and personnel. The information exists, but rarely in one place at the moment a launch decision is made.
Funding
Help us move from software to flight.
This page is a concise public funding memo. It states what exists, what is next, and what we are asking for — without valuations, projections, or claims we cannot evidence.
02
The insight
Readiness is a connected system, not a single maintenance record. Condition, parts, mission history, and operator qualification have to resolve into one answer.
03
The proof
An interactive tracker concept already exists and can be explored today. It demonstrates the data model rather than describing it.
04
The next experiment
Connect the tracker to a real, documented aircraft build so the model is tested against physical parts, failures, and repairs.
05
The market direction
UAS readiness software, prototype parts, STEM kits, consulting, and eventual small-batch manufacturing. No customer traction is claimed at this stage.
06
The milestone plan
Each stage proves something specific before the next begins: assembly and registration, bench and flight tests, single-component fabrication, then complete frames.
07
The team
Founder-led, with defined needs for fabrication, engineering review, and education advisers.
08
The ask
Funding, equipment, expertise, pilot users, and introductions. Each contributes to a specific milestone rather than general runway.
Use of funds
Where support is applied.
Aircraft components and test equipment
Airframes, motors, ESCs, batteries, and the instrumentation needed to measure results.
Fabrication equipment and materials
3D printing and laser-cutting capacity plus the material stock for iteration.
Video documentation
Cameras, lighting, and editing time so every build and test is publicly verifiable.
Software development and hosting
Continued work on the UAS Mission Maintenance Tracker and its infrastructure.
Controlled testing and safety preparation
Test stands, protective equipment, site access, and written safety procedures.
STEM pilot development
Curriculum drafting and a small pilot with an interested school or program.
