Problem
Traditional drone operations require vehicles to stop for launch and recovery, limiting operational efficiency and safety in time-sensitive delivery, military, and emergency response scenarios. Package delivery by conventional means remains costly, particularly in last-mile logistics, where drone-based alternatives face challenges of limited range and manual handling.
Solution
Target Arm provides integrated hardware and software systems that enable autonomous drone launch and recovery from virtually any moving vehicle, including cars, trucks, boats, ships, and aircraft. Its robotic arm solutions (Ralar® 1 and Ralar® 2) grab drones mid-air, place them in onboard containers or magazines, recharge batteries, and relaunch while on the move, while the Tular® pin array allows drones to guide themselves into a locking position mid-air. The bundled software suite—TRACKR sensor fusion, TurboFly wrap-around flight controller, and Maestro multi-device management—works together or standalone to deliver fully hands-free autonomous flight operations. The technology cuts package delivery costs by up to 95% and enables continuous drone coverage across commercial and military missions.
Target Audience
Primary customers include commercial logistics providers for package delivery, agriculture and energy companies requiring autonomous inspection, and military organizations seeking human-machine teaming and unmanned vehicle integration.
Features
- Ralar® 1 robotic arm captures drones mid-air, secures them in a container (1–2 drones), recharges, and relaunches without stopping the host vehicle
- Ralar® 2 supports multiple magazine attachments holding 4–10 drones each for sustained multi-drone operations
- Tular® pin array lets rotary or fixed-wing drones self-dock and lock mid-air on moving platforms
- TRACKR sensor fusion engine combines multiple sensors with AI enhancement for pinpoint drone tracking in varied environments
- TurboFly wrap-around flight controller provides autopilot for any drone without physical controllers and continuously improves flight performance through AI
- Maestro manages multiple drones and devices automatically with seamless tracking on a moving map display
- Arsenal Modular Mission Payload capability supports ISR and loitering munitions with launch/recovery of multiple UAVs every 15 seconds from military platforms
