Company
Notus Autonomous Systems
Interference-resistant drone swarms with EHF radios
We build drone swarms of arbitrary size that can operate reliably in contested RF environments. Our drones use phased array antennas at 60GHz controlled by a novel radar algorithm to steer communication and resist interference, something no drone swarm today can do at scale.
We live in Los Angeles, CA and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
Los Angeles has strong access to aerospace talent and drone-friendly regulations. Being here lets us rapidly prototype and test with real flight conditions infrastructure that's hard to replicate elsewhere.
