01
Multisensor perception
Combines complementary sensing modalities to improve situational awareness across varied conditions.
Supervised autonomy for search and rescue.
MANAR is a search-and-rescue drone project built around multisensor perception, deterministic flight control, and human review for consequential actions.
Project approach
Designed around accountable rescue assistance.
02
Supervised autonomy
Automates repeatable search tasks while keeping important operational decisions under human oversight.
03
Rescue-first design
Calm, technically credible, civilian system design focused on search, verification, and guidance.
