What the Gator Is For

👁️
Close-Range ISR

Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance at close range. Forward camera bay integrates standard FPV and thermal camera hardware. Stretch-X config provides stable hover for imagery collection.

🔒
Perimeter Security

Persistent perimeter surveillance for base security, critical infrastructure protection, and event security. Designed to operate in cluttered environments where structural durability matters.

🎖️
Government Operations

Sized and configured for government operator requirements. NDAA-compliant domestic manufacture means no procurement restrictions. Micro-purchase eligible under $15K threshold.

Why CCF

Continuous Carbon Fiber in the Gator

The Gator's arms and horizontal structural spans are printed with continuous carbon fiber — not chopped fiber, not standard plastic. Here's why that matters for ISR operations.

Structural Engineering Note
At 10-inch frame scale, arms carry combined motor thrust and bending moment from prop wash simultaneously. Standard printed materials — including chopped carbon fiber filament — cannot reliably survive repeated operational use at this combined load level. Continuous carbon fiber embeds unbroken fiber strands through each arm's load path, achieving strength-to-weight ratios that exceed 6061 aluminum. For a surveillance platform that may need to operate repeatedly in the field, this structural integrity is not optional — it is the baseline.
