The coordination layer for drone fleets.
ORCA is software that runs above the aircraft. It turns an objective into work for every drone, re-plans as conditions change, puts the decisions that matter in front of your people, and keeps the record.
Objectives, not flight plans.
Your team says what needs doing. ORCA works out which drone does what, in what order, and what happens when something changes.
“Search this area”
Cover a block, a valley or a radius around a point, with every part accounted for.
“Check every site on this list”
Visit scattered sites in one round, sharing the list across the fleet.
“Watch this zone”
Hold a coastline, fence line or lookout around the clock, taking turns to charge.
“Show this area is clear”
Repeat passes to an agreed standard, every cell logged.
“Follow up this find”
Keep eyes on something found while the rest of the job carries on.
“Patrol this line”
Fly the length of a power line, road or stopbank and flag what needs attention.
The fleet shares the work and covers for itself.
Work is shared out by distance, battery and sensor, and re-planned the moment something changes. Your operator hears from the fleet when a person’s judgement is needed, and not before.
Shares out the work
Areas become strips or sectors, site lists become routes, lines become patrols. Each drone gets the share that suits it.
Covers for drones that leave
When a drone goes to charge or has a fault, its remaining work is picked up by another. The gap goes in the record.
Turns a find into a job
A confirmed find can get its own drone, so one keeps watch while the others carry on.
Built for places with no signal.
Bush, gullies and coastline often have no reliable link back to the operator. ORCA coordinates from the centre when the link is healthy. When it isn’t, the drones share the plan between themselves and the job carries on. Any drone that can’t continue comes home.
The mission continues
Losing the link doesn’t stop the work. It is synced and recorded when the link returns.
Relays when it helps
A drone can hold a position on a ridge to carry the link back to the operator.
Every hectare accounted for.
What only a fleet can produce: coverage taken at one moment, every gap explained, and a record of every decision. Ready to report against.
Coverage with every gap explained
Map layerWhat was seen, when, by which drone and sensor. What wasn’t seen, and why.
Finds with their history
Image + locationEach find with its image, coordinates, time, and who confirmed or dismissed it.
A full command log
ReplayableEvery instruction, override and safety event, for review, audit or an incident report.

Runs above the aircraft.
Komneon doesn’t make drones or sensors. ORCA works with open autopilots such as PX4, so you aren’t tied to one manufacturer, and it runs whatever the drones carry.
Open autopilots
Built on the same open flight software many commercial and research drones run.
Your sensors, your detection
Visible, thermal or both. ORCA runs the detection your programme trusts, and keeps people on every call.
Failsafes stay on the aircraft
Each drone keeps its own failsafes, which land it or bring it home without ORCA.
Start with one programme, measured against today.
A first trial is small, runs inside work you already do, and is measured against your own numbers.
- 01
Pick one job
A programme, a zone or a readiness exercise, larger than one drone can cover in the time available.
- 02
Measure it against today
Coverage, time, cost and people, compared with how the work is done now, using your figures.
- 03
Expand when it works
Add programmes, zones or standing readiness once the results justify it.
