A military software developer is preparing to release an enterprise-level drone hardware and software operating package called DroneOS that runs avionics and a ground-control system mounted right on the aircraft. DroneOS is now in beta testing and publicly available next year.
“We're very cognizant of the fact that without platforms out there there's nothing to build on,” says Nelson Paez, CEO DreamHammer, San Diego. He says DroneOS is that platform. “It’s built for aerospace requirements to power industrial-grade birds,” he says.
