About us

Aerofoundry was founded in 2011 with the purposeof advancing unmanned vehicles through design, engineering and manufacturing technology.

Originally from Brazil, where we were based until 2016, when we moved our operations to a Free Zone in Mercosur, and entered strategic partnerships in China, US, Israel and Oceania.

We have customers in six continents, and a long aerial operations experience in the most varied environments, mostly harsh and unforgiving, with little or no logistics or support infrastructure.

Our history starts nearly 40 years ago, when working with airplanes and satellites, from which we moved into designing and operating aerial uncrewed aircraft after a troublesome contract we won in 2007, when we were awarded a large contract for tropical forest mapping and to set up an agroecological zoning a rural cadaster for a Northern Amazon State using hyperspectral imaging, and Lidar. Along the execution of that contract, due to a (serendipitous) combination of reasons, we had to switch the aerial component from using manned aircraft to uncrewed ones. The success of this adventurous decision showed us the way to the future of the aerial technology. From that moment on, we moved our aeronautics core business to UAV operations, and later into actually design and manufacture uncrewed aircraft.

Ours is an unusual company... we are customer-driven, not marketing-driven, and we define ourselves as a problem-solving Unmanned Systems Design House, and a flexible, efficient Unmanned Systems Foundry. We only offer real, reliable, technically sound, professional solutions as if they were for ourselves.

We design and manufacture aircraft and integrated advanced avionics, AI systems, and payload for the most varied requirements.

Since 2016 we are working on our wide range of aircraft solution packages, including advanced gimbals, and AI navigation systems.
