The platform

Off-the-shelf hardware. Open by design.

Quad Squad runs on commodity airframes and open flight stacks, so capability scales with your budget, not a vendor's price list. Nothing here is proprietary or hard to source.

Reference airframe

A 7-inch quad, built from parts you can source anywhere.

A representative build. Every part is off-the-shelf and swappable — this is a starting point, not a locked specification.

REPRESENTATIVE BUILD — ALL PARTS SWAPPABLE
Cost effective

Built from commodity parts

Every component is a widely available, low-cost part. Airframes can be bought and replaced in quantity without blowing a program budget or waiting on a sole supplier.

Open source

No proprietary lock-in

Built on open flight stacks and open protocols. You are never tied to one vendor's firmware, ground station or supply chain to keep the fleet flying.

Modular

Swap any layer

Frame, motors, radio and compute are all interchangeable. Scale the compute up for more autonomy, or down for cost, without changing anything else.
