From facades to frontlines.
DroneGurus builds autonomous aerial systems that clean and diagnose commercial buildings today, and turns the real-world data from every flight into the sensing foundation for counter-swarm defense. One platform, one dataset, five verticals.
Cleaning gets us on the building. Thermal tells us what is wrong inside it.
Every owner needs the exterior cleaned, and that is how we get on the wall. The same flight captures a FLIR thermal scan that turns a cosmetic job into risk intelligence owners and insurers pay for on its own.
Robotic exterior cleaning
Autonomous drone cleaning for commercial high-rises of any height. No scaffolding, no swing stages, no crews suspended hundreds of feet up. Faster turnarounds, lower cost, and every operator stays on the ground.
FLIR thermal diagnostics
Thermal imaging on the DJI Matrice 30T reveals trapped moisture, failing insulation, and structural anomalies behind the facade. Each clean produces an inspection record owners and insurers act on, and every confirmed defect sharpens our detection models.
Every flight is a data collection mission.
Thermal signatures, positional telemetry, and multi-drone coordination logs are catalogued into a growing proprietary dataset. Because our systems operate in the real world instead of simulation, that data becomes the foundation for detecting, classifying, and tracking threats anywhere.
Deploy
Commercial drones fly real buildings on paid contracts.
Capture
Thermal, positional, and coordination data logged every flight.
Label
Confirmed defects and outcomes turn raw data into ground truth.
Train
Models sharpen, widening the gap competitors cannot close.
Anduril looks at the horizon. We look through the wall.
WARDEN is our sensor-agnostic, effector-agnostic counter-UAS and counter-swarm engine, ITAR-walled and built for SBIR and AFWERX pathways. Its first hardware product attacks the problem every other platform is blind to.
The urban blind spot
Line-of-sight sensors stop at the building envelope. Modern drone defense is blind inside compounds and tunnels, and close-quarters room clearing remains the deadliest work in modern conflict.
Guesswork versus reality
Competitors predict where threats are by tracking them from outside. If an adversary is already waiting inside a room, that approach offers zero protection. Signals scatter off concrete, brick, and rebar.
Hardware-enforced penetration
A tactical drone payload emits ultra-wideband, wall-penetrating waveforms to map interiors in real time and detect hidden human signatures directly. We fly to the structure and see what is actually there.
Open-air primes
- High-frequency, long-range, open-air coverage out to several kilometers
- Software-predictive tracking that infers position from the outside
- Blind the moment a threat moves behind a wall
DroneGurus · WARDEN
- Ultra-wideband, close-range structural penetration
- Hardware-driven raw data on what is physically inside
- Captures the dark data legacy and modern primes cannot access
We are not rebuilding a multibillion dollar software platform. We are building the tactical sensor layer that platforms will need to license.
Software-agnostic hardware with an open API streaming format, built to plug directly into existing command systems such as Lattice.
Prove the physics
Finalize the V1 ultra-wideband radar prototype and validate the penetration edge.
Non-dilutive capital
Secure SBIR and AFWERX funding to drive airframe integration.
Field validation
Field tests alongside tactical response teams in operational settings.
Built to span the whole envelope.
Commercial
Robotic cleaning, FLIR thermal inspection, and roofing risk assessment for commercial buildings, sold to owners and insurers.
Agriculture
FLIR thermal herd health for cattle operations. Elevated body temperature flags illness days before visible symptoms, and aerial thermal counts replace manual headchecks across feedlots and pasture.
Telemedicine
Autonomous medical logistics for hospital networks. Drone delivery of diagnostics, medications, and emergency payloads extends clinical reach into rural and hard-to-access regions.
Maritime
Autonomous exterior cleaning and inspection extended to vessels, offshore assets, and port infrastructure while in port.
Defense
WARDEN counter-UAS and counter-swarm classification plus ultra-wideband through-wall sensing. ITAR-walled, SBIR and AFWERX funded.
Operators, not spectators.
A University of Rochester founding team building DroneGurus from a single insight about drone-cleaning scalability into a multi-vertical autonomy platform.
