Run a coordinated drone fleet with one operator.
Maestro is autonomy software for the MAVLink drones you already fly — PX4 and ArduPilot. Plan a mission, deploy the fleet, and keep coverage continuous from a single screen. No new hardware.
Our mission: help the teams that protect lives cover more ground — with fewer drones and fewer pilots.
Manual Drone Flights Miss People
Manual Piloting = Gaps
Human pilots leave coverage gaps in every search. Unstructured flight paths miss areas entirely, and there is no way to verify what was actually covered until the mission is over.
One Pilot Can't Scale
A single pilot flies a single drone. Covering more ground means more pilots — or one operator supervising a coordinated fleet. Manual operations hit a hard staffing ceiling.
Coverage Breaks at Battery Swap
Every battery swap means landing, relaunching and re-planning — and the area goes uncovered in between. Keeping a continuous watch with manual flights is nearly impossible.
Three Steps to Autonomous Search
Define
Draw your search area on the map, set altitude, overlap, and speed. The boustrophedon grid auto-generates instantly with full coverage metrics.
Deploy
Upload to your MAVLink fleet — any PX4 or ArduPilot airframe you already fly. Maestro provides live telemetry, video, and mid-flight commands from the ground station.
Coordinate
The fleet flies autonomously. Maestro's ground-station AI keeps coverage continuous — battery-aware relay, altitude-banded separation, exception-only alerts — so one operator runs the whole patrol.
Built for Missions That Can't Fail
GPS-Resilient Navigation
Visual-inertial odometry combined with dead reckoning continues the mission if GPS drops. The search doesn't abort, it adapts and keeps flying.
No Onboard AI Hardware Needed
The coordination runs from the ground station — no companion computer required. A physics-based engine keeps the fleet coordinated offline; add your own model (Anthropic, Mistral, OpenAI, or Google) for richer reasoning when connected.
Complete Flight Supervisor
A 7-state finite state machine with a dedicated safety monitor. Not just a waypoint list, a real flight management system with emergency handling built in.
One-Click Deploy
Browser to drone in under 60 seconds over WiFi. No command line, no SDK tinkering, no manual file transfers. One click and the mission is loaded.
One Operator Stays in Control
Maestro assists pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight from the ground station — a local-first engine that works offline, optional model refinement when connected, and a Safety Gate that validates every automated decision before it reaches a drone.
Air-Gapped Ready
Single toggle disables all external network calls for classified, EU-data-residency, or contested-environment deployments. Persistent AIR-GAPPED badge in the UI so operators always know.
Three-Layer Safety
Emergency RTH and kill switch from the ground station UI. PX4 onboard failsafes on every drone. RC transmitter kill switch on the operator's hand. Every mission has three independent stops.
From Map to Airborne Fleet in Minutes
Draw, Generate, Launch
Draw a search area, generate a grid, upload to the fleet, launch. The same workflow runs whether you're flying one drone or several, and the mission is in the air in minutes. GPS-resilient navigation keeps flying when satellites fail. Full Maestro ground station with live telemetry, video, in-flight commands, and weather-aware re-planning. Offline-capable maps and an advisory no-fly-zone overlay (France live; Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Belgium and the UK following) keep working even on the drone's no-internet WiFi.
For multi-drone fleets, Maestro handles battery-aware relay handoffs that keep coverage continuous through the swap cycle, separates drones into altitude bands so they never share airspace during a handoff, and auto-splits large AOIs into sub-sectors with linear, perimeter, or area-search coverage so sub-fleets patrol in parallel. Maestro AI dynamically optimises mission parameters using a local-first decision engine, with optional refinement from the model you bring (Anthropic / Mistral / OpenAI / Google). The relay and sector engines are validated in simulation and in field validation.
Maestro is software. It runs on any MAVLink-compatible industrial drone — any PX4 or ArduPilot airframe you already operate. Per-drone annual licensing, volume-tiered. Request fleet pricing →
Used by search & rescue, public-safety, inspection, patrol, and research teams flying PX4 / ArduPilot fleets.
Learn MoreBuilt for the Missions You Fly
Search & rescue is the mission we started with and our deepest reference vertical. The same coordination — systematic coverage, multi-drone relay, one operator — carries across public safety, inspection, patrol, and research.
Search & Rescue
The mission Maestro was built for. Single-drone grid search, or continuous coastal and inland patrol with battery-aware relay. Person-in-water, missing-person, and lost-craft search, with GPS-resilient navigation when satellites drop. Coastguard, police, mountain, and volunteer rescue.
Public Safety & Fire
Fire and disaster response, event and crowd awareness, perimeter monitoring. Multi-drone coverage of an area or fire front through a season, with thermal hot-spot detection where the airframe carries a thermal payload. BE/NL fire zones and Mediterranean fire authorities.
Inspection
Systematic autonomous coverage of linear and area assets — power lines, solar farms, pipelines, sites. The same grid and sector planning that drives a search, applied to inspection routes, with a verifiable flight record and log review for every pass.
Patrol
Round-the-clock perimeter and area patrol with battery-aware relay handoffs that keep a watch continuous through the swap cycle — security and site monitoring where coverage can't lapse, with one operator supervising the fleet. (Multi-drone relay in validation.)
Research & Testing
A programmable MAVLink mission and analysis stack for R&D and university labs: full telemetry, a browser simulator, and Maestro Flight Review for PX4 / ArduPilot log forensics. Bring your own model and your own airframe.
