UAV & Cloud Seeding Systems
A multirotor UAV optimized for atmospheric profiling. Equipped with sensors for temperature, humidity, and pressure, it is used to collect high-resolution meteorological data and characterize aerosol plumes, often in tandem with a seeding UAV.

A 6-rotor UAV specifically modified for cloud seeding. It can carry up to two burn-in-place flares (e.g., Zeus MK2) for releasing silver iodide. Features an emergency parachute recovery system and autonomous flight capabilities for precise seeding patterns.
A large, fixed-wing VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) UAV designed for long-endurance weather modification missions. Capable of carrying heavy payloads for wide-area cloud seeding, including warm cloud flares.
A pyrotechnic flare designed for UAV-based glaciogenic cloud seeding. The flare releases a mixture containing silver iodide (AgI) to act as ice nuclei within supercooled clouds.
