Nova 2

Named by joint US and Israeli forces as the “Most Mission Capable Indoor Drone” in the world, Nova 2 has proven its value in combat by bringing service members home safely to their families.

Nova 2

Skyscrapers To Subways

Nova 2 uses state-of-the-art path planning and computer vision algorithms to autonomously navigate complex subterranean and multi-story buildings without GPS, comms or a human pilot.

Indoor Maps For Close-Quarters Combat

Nova-2 Controller

01

"Hostile, Bldg 55, Floor 76, Room 2"

As Nova 2 autonomously clears, people are detected and auto-populated on a map while vibration notifications alert the user. In real time, Nova 2 builds 3D multi-story maps, providing an unrivaled common operating picture of the battlefield.

02

Stay Heads Up In The Fight

Command don’t control. Nova 2 highlights door and window entry points; operator selects and Nova 2 does the rest. Draw bounding-box perimeters and task Nova 2 with pilot-free clearance. Toggle between thermal and EO/IR.
