The Dronecode Foundation is thrilled to announce that Firestorm will be joining as a Silver Member. Firestorm is establishing itself as an innovative manufacturer, and its addition to the Dronecode membership marks a milestone in advancing uncrewed aerial systems design.
Firestorm produces mission-adaptable aerial vehicles and distributed manufacturing solutions. Its approach can significantly reduce the total cost of ownership while dramatically increasing production speed and flexibility. The company’s flagship product, the Tempest drone, exemplifies its commitment to modular, open-system approaches that allow for rapid deployment and mission customization. Its OCTRA flight controller and mission computer supports advanced capabilities, such as increasingly important use cases like GPS-denied navigation.
“The future of UAS technology will rely on open architectures and flexible integration capabilities,” says Ian Muceus, Co-Founder, Lead Inventor, and CTO at Firestorm. “Joining the Dronecode Foundation aligns perfectly with our vision of creating mission-adaptable platforms that can be rapidly manufactured. The PX4 ecosystem provides an ideal foundation, enabling us to deliver solutions that empower our clients in the field.”
The company’s commitment to open-system software and hardware approaches aligns perfectly with Dronecode’s mission of advancing drone technology through open-source collaboration. Their OCTRA system, which is built on open architecture principles, promises to enhance the capabilities of the PX4 ecosystem while providing new opportunities for integration and customization.
We welcome Firestorm to the Dronecode Foundation and look forward to seeing them lend their innovative mindset to the PX4 ecosystem!
