Technology & Products

Key Products

Modovolo Lift (modular drone), Universal Carrier payload modules (large/medium/small), Insulated Medical Canisters, Winch System, Crop Pollination module, Communications Relay module, Camera/Sensor Mount, Emergency LED Sign, and the BFP (Big F***ing Printer) large-scale 3D printing platform for distributed manufacturing.

Technological Advantage

Vertically integrated manufacturing in Upstate New York using proprietary large-format 3D printing (BFP) for airframe components, enabling rapid iteration, US-sourced production, and modular field repairability.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Payload-centric modular drone airframes that are field-repairable and produced at low cost via in-house large-scale 3D printing, reducing total cost of ownership versus traditional drone manufacturing.

How They Differentiate

Payload-first modular design (versus payload-as-afterthought competitors) and in-house large-scale 3D printing for cost reduction and field repairability rather than outsourced manufacturing.

Market & Competition

Target Customers

Defense, delivery/logistics, agriculture, public safety, medical, and energy operators needing modular payload-carrying UAVs.

Industry Verticals

Defense, Delivery/Logistics, Agriculture, Public Safety, Medical, Energy, Aerospace, Motorsports

Competitors

Zipline; Unusual Machines; DJI Agriculture/enterprise lines

Growth & Milestones

Major Milestones

Founded March 2022 in Syracuse, NY; GENIUS NY Cohort 9 participant; TRL 7 achieved for drone platform; Lyten selected as primary filament provider for BFP 3D printing platform (July 2026).
