Introducing Teton:
A Medium-large Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)
Teton is a medium-large Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) featuring a traditional, single-main-rotor helicopter design. Its robust, modular airframe, combined with the proven PX4 autopilot, delivers exceptional flight stability and control. From ascending over difficult terrain to holding position in demanding wind conditions, it mirrors the mountains’ steadfast presence and rugged resilience.
Why Teton?
Our platform revolutionizes the industry standard by moving away from highly integrated sensors and limited payload offerings. With our patent-pending modular mounting rail, you no longer need to purchase a new system to get the integrations you want and need. Teton’s unique modular airframe design allows you to upgrade existing systems as new sensors and features become available, keeping you at the cutting edge of technology without new platform purchases.

Industry Applications
- Surveying & Mapping
- Collect detailed topographic data for civil engineering, land development, and environmental studies.
- Easily integrate LiDAR, photogrammetry cameras, and other survey-grade sensors.
- Infrastructure Inspection
- Perform efficient inspections of power lines, cell towers, pipelines, and bridges.
- Reduce safety risks by keeping personnel on the ground while capturing high-resolution imagery and thermal data.
- Precision Agriculture
- Monitor crop health with multi-spectral or thermal sensors for improved yield management.
- Identify irrigation issues or pest infestations quickly and accurately.
- Public Safety & Search and Rescue
- Deploy in emergency scenarios for wide-area search, surveillance, and rapid situational awareness.
- Operate in challenging environments where extended endurance and stable hover are critical.
- Cargo & Logistics
- Carry payloads for remote deliveries or specialized operations.
- Utilize the helicopter’s vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability to reach areas not accessible by fixed-wing UAVs.
