Nature's Eye in the Sky

Quiet flights protecting people and planet

NOCTUA's long-endurance UAVs provide critical aerial surveillance across missions where silence, endurance, and precision create outsized impact.

From anti-poaching to security and disaster response, wildfire detection, radiometry, and forest health, we design sorties with partners who need reliable eyes in the sky.

Silent flight for hours, not minutes

NOCTUA is a modular fixed-wing UAV built for near-silent, long-endurance sorties with hydrogen fuel cell power and onboard AI for real-time detection.

Designed for environmental monitoring, search and rescue, and infrastructure surveillance, it offers up to 10 hours of flight with minimal ground support.

From whiteboards to wilderness

NOCTUA started as a one-year focus project to protect wildlife and evolved into a second-generation UAV platform aimed at reliable, long-endurance coverage.

Here’s how we moved from first flights to a startup-ready system.

The crew behind NOCTUA

NOCTUA brings together researchers, engineers, pilots, and field experts. Each person contributes a distinct skill set, from flight control and data science to sensing, field operations, and stakeholder engagement.

We share a commitment to responsible engineering, transparent collaboration, and long-term partnerships with the people and organizations we serve.
