A complete drone built on US and allied sourced components, where changing the mission means changing a module rather than buying another aircraft.
The defense configuration is the Tejo you have already seen, with every overseas part replaced by a US or allied equivalent. We build it, we integrate it, and we deliver it as a complete aircraft, built to order against your requirement.
Our current selection for each system, matched to your requirements on request.
| Component | Selection | Origin |
|---|---|---|
| Airframe | Built in house, US/allied CF infused filament | USA |
| Carbon arm tube | Rock West Composites, DragonPlate, or CST Composites | USA |
| Motors | Unusual Machines / Rotor Riot 2807 | USA |
| Flight controller | ARK FPV (PX4 / ArduPilot) or Rotor Riot Brave FC | USA |
| ESC | Rotor Riot Brave 55A or ModalAI | USA |
| Camera | Aura Analog Camera | USA |
| Video transmitter | Aura VTX | USA |
| Datalink / control link | Doodle Labs Mesh Rider, Silvus, Microhard, or Persistent | USA / allied |
| GPS / compass | ARK GPS | USA |
| Propellers | US/allied sourced 7 in, 2 CW + 2 CCW | USA / allied |
| Battery | US/allied sourced LiPo pack, cell origin verified | USA / allied |
| Fasteners | US / mil spec hardware | USA |
Every line above swaps out a part from the open build documented in the public parts list: EMAX ECO II 2807 motors become Unusual Machines / Rotor Riot 2807s, the MicoAir743 V2 with AM32 70A becomes an ARK FPV or Brave flight controller with a Brave or ModalAI ESC, the DJI O4 air unit becomes the Aura camera and VTX pair, the RadioMaster ELRS receiver is replaced by the professional datalink, and the optional MicoAir MG-A01 GPS becomes ARK GPS. The printed airframe, the bonded carbon arms, and the payload bay interface are identical across both.
The mainstream high definition digital systems are Chinese and are not available to a compliant build. Analog is the standard tactical answer to that constraint: latency stays in the low tens of milliseconds and the link degrades gracefully instead of dropping. If your mission needs compliant digital video, tell us and we will scope it into the configuration.
Ordinary hobby control links are Chinese, so a compliant aircraft needs a professional grade radio instead. These are the single most expensive part of the build and range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand depending on the range, mesh networking, and encryption you need. It is the main choice that sets the cost of your aircraft.
Defense grade components are quoted per order, and the radio you choose moves the total more than every other line combined. We price against your requirement rather than a list. Send the mission, the range, and the link security you need, and we will come back with a real number and the configuration behind it.
Send the mission and the constraints you are working under. We will come back with a configuration that fits and work the integration alongside your team.
