Carrier-and-satellite topology. Autonomous mid-air docking, wireless power transfer, passive-capture latch. The recovery loop without the runway.
DS-001 is the carrier — active dock, wireless power transmitter. DS-002 is the satellite — passive plate, receiver coil. They mate in the air, transfer energy, and separate. No ground station, no runway, no recovery event.
A complete docking is choreographed end-to-end on the airframe — no ground operator in the loop.
Carrier holds altitude and heading. Satellite closes range under autonomous guidance, slaved to the carrier's pose.
Terminal homing onto an AprilTag reference disc. The capture envelope is held within a controlled lateral budget.
No contact-side actuator timing. A martensitic tool-steel hook receives the satellite plate.
Wireless power flows through the docked pair. On completion, the L12 release actuator unlatches and the satellite departs.
Every number below is traceable to a controlled artifact in the partner package. Items pending bench validation are noted.
Three ways to put DS-001 in your fleet — pick the pair, the developer kit, or a multi-pair build. Or skip the hardware entirely and license the patent + reference design under NIRO's IP program. Pricing on inquiry.
Defense, public-safety, and infrastructure programs where mission persistence is the constraint and the recovery footprint is the cost.
Carrier-satellite topology integrates as a payload-bay subsystem on existing Group 2/3 platforms. NDA pack ships with controlled RFQ, DFM/gap-closure plan, V10 CAD.
The DFM-RFQ targets EVT-scale builds (5–20 units), AS9102 FAI flowdown, S30V-class material/process routing. Phased engagement welcome.
Carrier-and-satellite endurance extends time-on-station for ISR, search, and persistent over-watch — without per-sortie ground recovery overhead.
