10-4 Tech develops purpose-built autonomy software for complex aerial operations, shaped by the demands, constraints and responsibilities of each mission.
Product 01
Intelligent aerial support for search, mapping and remote-area operations.
SPMN-SAR is a coordinated multi-drone system designed to help organisations observe, search and map large or difficult-to-access areas faster and more efficiently.
Several aircraft can work together, divide an assigned area and collect useful information using thermal and daylight imaging. Important findings are transmitted to one central ground station, giving the operator a clear overview of the entire mission.
The system can support search-and-rescue teams during operations involving missing people, particularly in forests, mountains, rural areas and other locations where traditional searches may be slow or dangerous.
It can also support aerial mapping and the documentation of remote regions — collecting current visual information where maps are incomplete, outdated or difficult to update from the ground.
| 01 | Searching for missing people | Rescue |
| 02 | Mapping mountainous or sparsely populated areas | Mapping |
| 03 | Updating visual information for outdated maps | Mapping |
| 04 | Monitoring forests, agricultural land and protected areas | Monitoring |
| 05 | Inspecting remote infrastructure and access routes | Inspection |
| 06 | Assessing areas hit by floods, fires, storms or landslides | Response |
| 07 | Supporting scientific and land-management projects | Research |
| Fleet | Up to six coordinated aircraft |
| Endurance | ≈ 25 min per battery cycle |
| Coverage | Up to 5.4 km² per cycle, suitable conditions |
| Imaging | Thermal and daylight |
| Planning | Terrain-aware flight and mission planning |
| Tasking | Automatic division of large areas |
| Reporting | Points of interest relayed as they are found |
| Supervision | One central ground interface |
SPMN-SAR is designed to support professionals and local organisations by providing faster access to information from places that are difficult, expensive or unsafe to inspect from the ground.
Development status — the system is currently under development. Performance figures represent design targets and will be validated during field testing.
Product 02
Air-to-air interceptor.
Counter-drone software in active research: an onboard interceptor brain that detects an unauthorized aircraft, auto-tracks it through evasive flight, and holds a stabilized aim solution for the operator. The system proposes; a human approves. Nothing is engaged without positive authorization, and every track, decision and command is logged.
Research notice — SPMN-HUNTER is an active research program. 10-4 Tech develops autonomy software only; we do not manufacture weapons or military hardware.
Flight demos run on your airframe or ours, on an instrumented range. SPMN-HUNTER is shown as simulation only.
