About DroneOps
We believe autonomous aerial systems will transform every industry — from agriculture to infrastructure, logistics to conservation. Our mission is to make drone fleet management accessible, reliable, and intelligent.
Founded in 2023, DroneOps has grown from a garage project into a platform trusted by operators managing over 12,000 drones worldwide. We combine deep robotics expertise with modern software engineering to deliver tools that scale from 1 drone to 10,000.

R&D Lab
Our 15,000 sq ft R&D facility in San Jose houses a full indoor flight arena, electronics workshop, and simulation cluster. We test every firmware build through 200+ automated flight scenarios before release.
- ▸ Indoor flight arena (40m × 30m × 15m)
- ▸ Environmental test chamber (-20°C to +55°C)
- ▸ 48-GPU simulation cluster
- ▸ EMC testing lab
