What

Drives Us

Enabling intelligent systems to operate safely in any environment

We are a group of space ninjas, engineers, GPS nerds, motorcycle racers, and adventurers. We've built

small satellites, big satellites, and even GPS satellites.  We've built rockets, airplanes, and billion dollar businesses. Our experience stems from the likes of SpaceX, Blue Origin, Lockheed Martin, L3 Harris, Booz Allen Hamilton, NASA, Ford, and Stanford GPS Lab.
