What we built
The docking station goes with you.
Stationary drone-in-a-box solves recharge for fixed sites. Real operations — convoys, mobile defense, agricultural monitoring, linear infrastructure inspection — need the dock to move. The hard engineering problem is enabling the drone to take off, fly, return, and land back on a vehicle traveling at highway speed.
The NCBiR programme funded the development of the algorithms, landing systems, and battery-swap mechanisms required to do this autonomously at up to 30 km/h. The output is a category of ground infrastructure that didn't exist before — one of the most strategically valuable pieces of IP in our portfolio for defense and sovereign logistics.
“The world and technology are rushing forward, performing measurements or inspections of large industrial areas by humans is already a waste of money and time.”— Vadym Melnyk
Target applications
- Industrial monitoring of large facilities
- Agricultural monitoring at scale
- Linear infrastructure inspection — pipelines, railways, power lines
- Large-area measurement and mapping (orthophoto)
- Mobile defense and convoy support (dual-use)
Consortium
- Dronehub (Poland) — Lead
- Concept Sp. z o.o. (Poland)
Strategic context
The mobile charging station is one of the IP platforms most actively licensed today. For operators building convoy protection or large-scale linear infrastructure inspection programmes, this is the missing piece. The mechanical design, landing algorithms, and battery-swap know-how are available for license — see IP licensing.
