Problem
U.S. government and defense agencies require unmanned aircraft that can be rapidly deployed, operate autonomously in confined environments, and provide reliable ISR capabilities without relying on bulky, legacy platforms.
Solution
Aletky Technology Collective delivers purpose-built VTOL unmanned aircraft systems that combine autonomous vertical take‑off and landing with lightweight, 3D‑printed airframes for fast, scalable production. Their flagship VANTA 150 offers a 10‑lb, man‑portable package with 60‑minute endurance, 20 nm range, and a modular payload bay, enabling single‑operator border‑security and law‑enforcement missions. A second platform, VEXOR, provides a fault‑tolerant, multi‑role architecture that supports interchangeable propulsion and payload configurations for ISR, counter‑UAS, loitering munitions, and surface‑to‑air interception. Both systems are engineered from first principles to meet NDAA §848, Blue UAS Pathway, and Buy‑American compliance, ensuring mission‑critical reliability in real‑world deployments.
Target Audience
Primary customers are U.S. defense and government agencies—including Navy, Special Operations, Customs and Border Protection, and NASA—requiring portable, mission‑ready UAVs for surveillance, border security, and tactical operations.
