Precision-built for autonomous missions.

Suhail The Tactical Intelligence Platform

IN MISSION!

IN MISSION!

DURING deveolopment

Suhail wasn’t built in a lab — it was forged under pressure.
From day one, our team engineered Suhail with adaptability in mind. Designed to start as a coaxial frame, Suhail's architecture allowed us to switch to a quadrotor setup when budget constraints hit — without sacrificing mission capability.

ENLIST IN THE MISSION

Drone Frame design & manufacturing

The Suhail airframe is designed for field resilience, modular upgrades, and single-operator deployment. Developed in-house by the Tactical DRAG Team, the frame evolved from a coaxial configuration into a compact quadrotor fallback — all while maintaining mission-readiness.

Ai system & 2D MAPPING devolopment

Suhail’s onboard AI system transforms raw aerial footage into tactical insights. Using a custom-trained object detection model deployed on the Jetson Orin Nano, the drone identifies mission-relevant targets such as vehicles, structures, or symbols — even from 25 meters in the air.




Whether it’s an airplane cutout or a potted plant, the system accurately classifies and marks each object in real time, enabling autonomous payload decisions and precise mission validation.

-Detection Engine: Trained on SUAS-relevant classes (e.g., airplane, bin, traffic light), running on Jetson Orin Nano using lightweight CV models -Confidence Thresholding: Each detection includes confidence scores for dynamic filtering during autonomous logic -MAVLink Integration: Detections transmitted via onboard MAVLink to the autopilot for drop alignment and mission logging

air drop system design & manufacturing

Suhail’s airdrop system was engineered for precision release and operational simplicity. Instead of relying on multiple motors or complex electronics, the system uses a single servo connected to a gear-reduction mechanism — delivering controlled, sequential drops with mechanical precision.


This design ensures each payload is released slowly and safely within seconds, reducing impact damage and improving drop zone accuracy.
