01 Focus areas

Capabilities in development.

Altum Robotics is pre-launch and nothing here is for sale yet. This is where we’re headed.

Engineering services

Subcontracted engineering and testing services for primes and integrators who need a capable partner.

  • Systems integration
  • Prototyping
  • Environmental testing

Marine search and rescue

Uncrewed aircraft and vessels to help crews find and reach people in the water sooner.

Arctic reconnaissance

Uncrewed aircraft for military reconnaissance in Arctic regions, with waterproofing and insulation for cold, wet conditions.

02 Background

The early work in Altum Robotics, Project Sailfish.

Before Altum Robotics was a company, we developed Project Sailfish: a proof of technology for a low-cost, autonomous marine search-and-rescue drone. It grew over three generations of airframe between 2024 and 2026.

It was open-sourced so that rescue units without air assets of their own can build and fly it. The airframe, power, propulsion, RF and autonomy work behind it is the experience we’re bringing to Altum Robotics.
