Aerofoundry was founded in 2011 with the purpose of advancing unmanned vehicles through design, engineering and manufacturing technology.
Ours is an unusual company... we are customer-driven, not marketing-driven, and we define ourselves as a problem-solving Unmanned Systems Design House, and a flexible, efficient Unmanned Systems Foundry. We only offer real, reliable, technically sound, professional solutions as if they were for ourselves.
In 2007, we were awarded a large contract for tropical forest mapping and to set up an agroecological zoning a rural cadastre for a Northern Amazon State using hyperspectral imaging, and Lidar. Along the execution of the contract, we switched the aerial component from using a manned airplane to operating UAV. The success of this adventurous decision made us migrate our aeronautics core business to UAV operations, and later into actually design and manufacture aircraft.
We are not sales enforcers of foam-made drones loaded with filtered consumer cameras sold as 'multispectral', through mass marketing campaigns to show them as high-end products. Neither we sell overpriced Mil packages of export-controlled technologies, instead of better tailored solutions with flexible integration, aiming at a better control of how and where our platforms are used by the customers.
