Who we are

Built by the people
who field the kit.

Quad Squad is an autonomy company. We build the swarm coordination layer that lets one operator command many drones with a single, plain-language intent.

Our position

Modern operations do not fail for lack of drones. They fail for lack of coordination. One person can fly one aircraft well. Asking that same person to orchestrate ten, under load, is where the plan breaks.

We started Quad Squad to close that gap. The operator gives intent. The squad works out the rest, and keeps a human in command the whole way through.

01

Open by design

We build on PX4 and ArduPilot with off-the-shelf hardware. No lock-in, no bespoke airframe you can only buy from us.

02

Human in command

Autonomy handles coordination. Judgement, authority and the decision to act stay with the operator. Always.

03

Sovereign capability

Built for the operational realities our forces and partners actually face, not a lab demo.

We run tailored demonstrations for defence and security teams.

Search · Clear & Strike · Defend — representative profiles, not exhaustive

STEP 01

State the intent

The operator gives a plain-language command — clear a corridor, search a sector, hold and defend. No waypoints, no manual piloting.

STEP 02

The squad plans

A single squad leader assigns roles and routes across the team, coordinating every airframe as one unit rather than a handful of separate drones.

STEP 03

The team acts

The squad executes and adapts in real time — searching, engaging on authority, or intercepting threats — while the operator stays in command.

One operator, a squad of drones acting as one. Mass without the manpower to match.
The problem swarms are supposed to solve

01 Mass, from a single operator

One person directs a whole squad. Scale the effect without scaling the headcount or the training pipeline behind it.

02 Attritable by design

The expensive intelligence sits on one leader. The rest are low-cost airframes you can afford to lose and still complete the mission.

03 Human always in command

The squad plans and executes, but authority stays with the operator. Strike actions wait on a human decision, every time.

04 Adopt without re-tooling

Existing airframes, existing team, existing tactics. The capability lands where your people already stand.

Quad Squad comes out of hands-on defence and uncrewed-systems work, not a lab in isolation. The people behind it have built and fielded robotics on operations and run the trials that inform real programs.

Ex-Army background, current defence advisory work

Quad Squad works inside your existing team structures and TTPs. No standalone unit to raise, no doctrine to rewrite. The squad answers to an operator already in the formation, who directs it in plain language and lets it plan the execution. No manual flying to learn, just a set of standard short orders and the drones interpret your intent and achieve the mission.

Works within existing team structures and TTPs
Command by intent — no manual flying to learn
Compatible with MAVLink, PX4, ArduPilot and all mesh radios
Runs locally alongside TAK, SitaWare or similar C2. No vendor lock
