Problem
Conventional defense and surveillance operations rely on manned platforms and legacy unmanned systems that are limited in endurance, range, and adaptability across air, sea, and land domains. This constrains situational awareness, hampers rapid response, and increases risk to personnel in contested environments.
Solution
CDPL delivers software‑defined autonomous systems that operate independently in aerial, maritime, and ground environments. Its aerospace division produces Group 1‑3 UAVs and advanced autonomous aerial platforms such as the B.A.R.D. and Horizon series, providing extended endurance and beyond‑visual‑line‑of‑sight coverage. The marine division offers autonomous submarines and unmanned surface vehicles designed for distributed maritime missions and seabed warfare. The ground division builds uncrewed ground vehicles and defense robotics for counter‑UAS, human‑machine teaming, and resilient logistics. All platforms integrate modular AI‑driven control software, enabling rapid reconfiguration for defense, institutional surveillance, and dual‑use applications.
Target Audience
Primary customers are national defense forces, naval and air branches, and security agencies that require autonomous surveillance and combat capabilities across multiple domains, as well as institutional users seeking advanced physical intelligence solutions.
Features
- Software‑defined warfare architecture that allows mission‑specific payloads and AI algorithms to be uploaded without hardware changes
- Autonomous aerial platforms (e.g., B.A.R.D., Horizon VTOL, Horizon FPV) delivering 30–60 minutes endurance and 3–5 km operational radius
- Marine assets including autonomous submarines and unmanned surface vehicles for distributed, low‑signature maritime operations
- Ground systems such as UGVs and robotic combat vehicles equipped for counter‑UAS, logistics support, and collaborative human‑machine missions
- Integrated kinetic interceptor capability for air defense within the same autonomous aerial suite
- Modular sensor suites and communication links that support real‑time data streaming to command centers and existing C4ISR networks
