Problem
Organizations that require rapid transport of heavy cargo over long distances often rely on ground logistics, which can be slow, costly, and vulnerable to infrastructure constraints. Existing UAV solutions are limited to low payloads and short ranges, making them unsuitable for missions such as remote supply delivery, disaster response, or secure transport of sensitive equipment.
Solution
Muleworks offers a certified unmanned aerial vehicle platform capable of carrying up to 1,000 lb of payload across roughly 200 mi per flight. The system is built to meet FAA SAC‑EC certification and is progressing toward Part 135 approval, ensuring compliance with civil aviation regulations for commercial operations. Security is embedded at the hardware and software layers, with full NIST SP 800‑171 compliance, CMMC Level 2 self‑assessment, multi‑factor authentication, end‑to‑end encryption, and continuous SIEM monitoring to protect controlled unclassified information. Operators can plan, launch, and monitor missions through a secure ground control interface that provides real‑time telemetry, automated flight planning, and post‑flight analytics. By combining high payload capacity, extended range, and rigorous security standards, Muleworks enables reliable, fast, and compliant aerial logistics for enterprises and government agencies.
Target Audience
Primary customers are logistics providers, defense and intelligence agencies, and enterprises that need secure, high‑capacity aerial transport for remote or time‑critical operations.
