PAYLOAD-CENTRIC DESIGN

The payload is the mission. We designed everything around it. Centered, protected, and easy to swap. The drone becomes secondary to what it carries. Most drones bolt cargo underneath as an afterthought. We started with your payload and built the aircraft around it.

Your requirements. Our team. We'll help you ace that payload, every time.

Tell us your mission. We'll engineer the solution. Our industrial designers and engineers collaborate with you from day one, translating mission requirements into flight-ready payloads. You bring the vision and operational need, we handle materials, integration, testing, and launching into the field. No bureaucracy. No red tape. Just straight up working together, side by side to get it exactly right.

Three years of R&D and stealth mode has served us well.

AFFORDABILITY

Our unique airframe design allows for 3D-printed production at scale. Every component has been economically sourced and designed to be highly modular, reducing total cost of ownership.

ADAPTABILITY

Central payload bay and modular truss system support diverse missions, from medical and defense to agriculture and research applications.

PORTABILITY

At one meter round, it’s intentionally sized to slide into SUVs or pickup trucks, and can even be stacked for military transport.

RELIABILITY

Direct-drive propulsion, tested motors, and proven components ensure consistent performance and mission success without unnecessary complexity or hype.

DURABILITY

Fortified trusses, reinforced landing gear, and field-tested materials withstand rough handling, ensuring rugged operation in demanding environments.

SURVIVABILITY

Hex and octo configurations add redundancy, enabling drones to stay airborne or land safely even after motor or propeller failure.

REPAIRABILITY

Quarter-truss design and bolted subassemblies allow untrained personnel to swap parts in minutes, keeping drones flying and reducing downtime.

SCALABILITY

The modular airframe scales up or down to meet varying payload requirements, extending Modovolo’s utility across industries and mission types.

Everything happens right here at our facility in Upstate New York. Vertical integration, for the win.

TECHNOLOGY READINESS LEVEL 6

Modovolo is advancing toward Technology Readiness Level 6, demonstrating system capabilities in operationally relevant environments. Our modular airframe, payload-centric architecture, and direct-drive propulsion have moved beyond laboratory validation into field trials with defense and commercial partners. We're conducting structured flight testing across varied payloads, environmental conditions, and mission profiles to validate performance, durability, and interoperability. Each test cycle generates documented data on endurance, payload integration, and system reliability. TRL 6 represents proven functionality in real-world scenarios, bridging engineering validation and full operational deployment readiness.
