EMC Operations Group is trying to improve our manufacturing functionality for our Sentian Class XPLORER UAS in an effort to meet the calls for of upper quantity orders. We’ve got funding objectives to satisfy in order that we will intensify the manufacture quantity of our low-cost strategic drone.
We’ve got by no means taken fairness based mostly funding, just because so many UAS (and usually defence based mostly) companies are overextended on VC funding. Typically what this results in is a recurring cycle of requirement to seem slick and glossy in manner, model, and product.
On condition that we’ve taken no funding till now, we aren’t compelled to be pretentious concerning the slickness of our system. It’s rugged, and with a newly refined and standardised manufacturing course of utilising the Dube-Moyo methodology of design; as such we’re prepared to obtain extra. Sentian is making a transfer to the UK, combining rugged and good design for implausible perform within the South African Bushveld with precision British engineering.
XPLORER is suitable, not distinctive, however simplicity is a profit reasonably than a downside for our strategic system. As such, we’re trying to produce extra methods that may function inside this parameter of simplicity, bringing far decrease value options to mining companies in Canada and Norway, Oil and Gasoline prospecting companies in Niger, and pipeline inspection in Turkey and the USA. XPLORER is lengthy endurance, waypoint succesful, low value (each to buy and to function,) and VTOL module succesful making it the perfect alternative for quite a lot of features usually carried out by helicopters or mild plane in a business setting.
Positive, we’re getting additional concerned within the army procurement, however this primary part of funding is for these business companies (after the dealings we’ve had with African governments for counter-poaching and conservation.) We’ve got the product, we now have the market and demand, however we don’t have the funds to ship as we need to.
When provide exceeds demand, we now have a alternative:
-Elevate capital in an effort to enable manufacturing to extend.
-Elevate product costs in an effort to elevate the cash ourselves.
On condition that we satisfaction XPLORER on being about as cheap as methods come for it’s class (solely about £500k for base,) we’d a lot want to do the previous!
