Development Status & Roadmap
High-Speed Pusher is currently at the prototype stage. Figures such as speed are design targets guiding the current build, not flight-verified results.
Development Timeline
- Concept
Mission framing, high-level requirements, and initial design targets.
- Design
Detailed system design across airframe, propulsion, power, and flight electronics.
- Prototype — Current Stage
Physical prototype build and integration — the current stage of development.
- Testing
Structured testing of the integrated platform. Not yet begun.
- Production
Manufacturing at scale, following successful testing. Not yet begun.
Beyond the Current Prototype
Roadmap items are clearly distinguished from current capabilities. Nothing here implies a completion date unless one is stated.
Proprietary Manufacturing Processes
CurrentIn-house 3D-printed construction mated to custom carbon-fiber plates and support structure is already part of the current prototype build.
Communications Architecture
In DevelopmentA fiber-optic link path is under evaluation for a more robust communications approach. Not yet implemented in the current prototype.
Payload Integration
PlannedExpansion toward increased payload support beyond the current prototype.
Thermal Imaging Compatibility
PlannedThermal imaging integration is a planned expansion of the sensing suite.
Expanded Onboard Sensing
PlannedAdditional sensor integration to broaden situational data available in flight.
Onboard Intelligence & Autonomy Research
Long-Term ResearchLonger-term research into onboard intelligence and autonomy capabilities, beyond the current prototype's scope.
