Redefining Ariel Operations with Autonomous Flight

OSL’s High-Intensity Autonomous Drone Operations (HADO®) solution enables safe, repeatable autonomous missions in complex, high-traffic environments. Designed for critical sites such as airports and ports, it transforms how aerial delivery, inspection and security tasks are carried out. 

Autonomous Flight & Obstacle Avoidance

Executes precise, pre-defined missions using a live-scanned 3D environment. Navigates dynamically around new objects and returns or lands safely if flight risks emerge.

Digital Twin Mission Planning

Uses a detailed digital model of the environment to pre-plan safe and repeatable routes for surveillance, inspection, and perimeter patrol.

Integrated Safety Management

Combines system health monitoring, weather awareness, and battery intelligence to support safe autonomous decisions, with optional manual override.

First-Person Visual Intelligence

Delivers real-time FPV camera data during patrols, supporting loitering detection, anomaly reporting, and enhanced situational awareness.

LiDAR-based 3D simulation of airport infrastructure and airspace monitoring, showcasing OSL Technology’s advanced route planning, situational awareness, and autonomous surveillance solutions for securing aviation infrastructure.
