Company Overview
Sunflower Labs is a U.S. technology company developing autonomous Drone-in-a-Box security systems. Its Beehive platform combines an autonomous drone (Bee) with an intelligent docking station (Hive), enabling fully automated perimeter patrols, alarm response and 24/7 property monitoring for commercial, industrial and critical infrastructure applications.
The Challenge
Sunflower Labs required a compact OEM receiver that could be integrated directly into the Bee aircraft without compromising size, weight, power consumption or endurance.
The solution needed to:
- Fit into a compact embedded design
- Minimize SWaP (Size, Weight and Power)
- Provide reliable airspace awareness during autonomous operations
- Receive cooperative air traffic information
- Integrate seamlessly with the aircraft avionics
Why Aerobits?
The TT-SF2n combines ADS-B and FLARM reception in an ultra-compact OEM module, providing real-time airspace awareness while maintaining exceptionally low SWaP. This made it an ideal solution for integration into an autonomous Drone-in-a-Box platform.
The Solution
Aerobits supplied the TT-SF2n OEM receiver for integration into the Bee drone operating within the Beehive Drone-in-a-Box system. The compact architecture enabled straightforward integration while maintaining the platform's lightweight design and supporting real-time reception of cooperative air traffic information, improving situational awareness during fully autonomous security missions.
