Research
Reproducible models behind how we design. Every chart is generated from code we publish, and every article states its assumptions — including the results that went against us.
Perch vs. hover: the energy math behind a 72-hour aerial sentry
Why hover endurance barely changes with drone size, and why perching multiplies time on watch by two orders of magnitude.
Research · 12 minHow many drone docks does 24/7 aerial coverage take?
Four docks reach the weather ceiling — if the scheduler is right. A naive schedule stays stuck near 28% whatever the fleet size.
Research · 13 minSensor height vs. placement: a viewshed study
Two well-placed masts see as much as six placed at random. Height helps, placement helps more — and perching 2 m above high points did not beat a 9 m mast.
Research · 12 minNuisance alarms, sensor fusion and operator load
OR logic floods operators; AND logic quietly misses one intruder in seven. Verification is the only configuration that keeps both numbers sane.
Research · 11 minProbability of interruption: response time beats sensor count
Moving detection outward buys about two and a half minutes. Beyond that, delay and response time decide the outcome.
Research · 12 minWhat a 24/7 guard post really costs
A 24/7 post needs 4.6 FTE, not 4.2, and costs a median $362k a year. The biggest uncertainty in the robot case is monitoring, not hardware.
