Company Overview

Kelluu Oy is a Finnish technology company specializing in autonomous airship systems for persistent aerial monitoring. Its innovative platforms provide long-endurance, high-resolution situational awareness for defense, critical infrastructure and environmental monitoring, enabling reliable data collection where conventional drones or satellites have limitations.

The Challenge

Kelluu required a compact surveillance solution that could support long-endurance autonomous airship operations while minimizing payload weight and power consumption.

The solution needed to:

  • Provide reliable ADS-B position broadcasting
  • Enhance visibility to other airspace users
  • Integrate seamlessly into the existing avionics
  • Meet strict SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) requirements
  • Support safe operations during extended missions

Why Aerobits?

Kelluu selected Aerobits for its expertise in compact UAV avionics and cooperative surveillance technologies. The TR-1A combines lightweight construction, low power consumption, an integrated multi-GNSS receiver and Plug & Play integration, making it ideally suited for long-endurance autonomous airship platforms where every gram and every watt matter.

The Solution

Aerobits supported the integration of the TR-1A ADS-B transceiver into Kelluu's autonomous airship platform. The integrated solution provides reliable ADS-B transmission and reception while maintaining a compact and lightweight avionics architecture.

Thanks to its Plug & Play design and low power consumption, the TR-1A was seamlessly incorporated into the platform without compromising endurance or payload capacity.
