Standards
Eight layers of fail-safe
Motor out, a faulty wing servo, spoofed GNSS: every case has an automatic response engineered by ICS.
See every safety system
01No single point of failure
02Motor out, still in control
03Wing or tail fault: it knows, and flies home
04Sudden height loss, soft emergency landing
05Low battery, high wind or weak GNSS: it comes home on its own
06GNSS spoofing protection and encrypted control
07Mountain terrain, no collisions
08Obstacle ahead: it turns back (optional)
The rest of the fleet
Four eVTOL fixed-wing aircraft and two multirotors, designed and built by ICS. Choose by area and mission.
