Capabilities.

  • C / 01
    EO + thermal imagingDay & night ISR
    Stabilised gimbal with co-bore-sighted optical and long-wave infrared sensors for persistent observation across light conditions.

    GPS-denied autonomyVIO + SLAM
    Visual-inertial odometry and on-board SLAM hold position and complete waypoints when satellite navigation is jammed or spoofed.
    No GNSS requiredindoor / urban

    Ultra-quiet propulsionAcoustic signature
    Bespoke rotor profile and motor controller tuning bring the audible footprint below ambient at typical standoff distance.

    Multi-unit hiveCoordinated flight
    Up to a dozen airframes operate as one — mission tasks distribute across the swarm with graceful degradation if units are lost.

    Extended rangeBeyond line-of-sight
    Satellite uplink and inter-airframe AI mesh push effective operational radius well past direct radio range.

CONTEXT 03

Why now.

Europe is rebuilding its dual-use capacity. Koltrasten is built for that window — European supply, a transparent stack, and a delivery timeline that lands inside this decade.

A / Supply chain

European supply chain.

Airframe, autopilot and crypto stack are sourced and assembled inside the EU.

B / Timeline

From prototype to field trials.

Prototype at TRL 4 today, field trials Q3 2026, low-rate production targeted for 2027.

C / Transparency

Open architecture.

Inspectable behaviour models and a documented sensor pipeline. Buyers and oversight bodies can verify what the platform does and does not do.

MISSION PROFILES 04

Use cases.

01
Defense

Urban & complex-terrain ISR

Squad-organic reconnaissance, building clearance support and route surveillance in dense or contested environments.

02
Civil

Search & rescue

Thermal imaging in low-visibility conditions — forest, snow, and smoke — to find what eyes and dogs cannot.

03
Hive

Coordinated swarm

Twelve-unit autonomous hive for area search, persistent observation, and graceful redundancy under loss.
