Many machines, working as one.
Komneon builds the coordination layer that lets fleets of drones work as one team. We start where the work outgrows the people: too much ground, too few hands, and places the signal doesn’t reach.

Many simple machines, working together.
A single drone, however capable, has to land to charge, can only be in one place, and loses touch behind a ridge. Many simpler machines, sharing what they see and splitting the work between them, can hold a watch, cover a whole region and keep going when one drops out.
Komneon builds the coordination that makes that possible. We’re starting outdoors, where there’s too much ground for the people available: protecting islands, searching after a flood, covering a whole region with a small team.
Capable, and responsible.
Everything we build has to pass both tests. If it only passes the first, it isn’t Komneon.
People make the calls.
The fleet does the flying. Every decision about a find, and anything that follows from it, belongs to a person.
Inside the rules.
Every operation is planned within the aviation rules where it flies, with the safety case and the evidence to back it.
Proven before it reaches you.
Every capability is proven on our own fleet before it reaches yours, and the evidence comes with it.
Built for real conditions.
Steep country, bush and coast, where the signal drops and the weather turns. That is where we design for.
Your data is yours.
Customers own their imagery and records outright, and handling is agreed before any work starts.
No lock-in.
ORCA runs on open autopilots and off-the-shelf aircraft. If a drone breaks, you replace it.
Starting with finding. Built for doing.
ORCA starts with the work of finding: searching, watching and keeping the record. The same coordination is designed to carry the work that follows a find, such as servicing bait stations and traps, spot treatment and herding.
Each of those will be released only when it has been proven on our own fleet, with a person approving every action.
Built for the hardest ground first.
We design for steep country, thick canopy and no signal from the start, because a fleet that works there works almost anywhere.
