India’s First AI on Edge Drone Tech Start-Up. At enord, we are designing & developing drones that have an AI Pilot ™ system for autonomous navigation which is capable of flying even in any confined spaces that will ultimately create ease in operating, generating insights, and taking action that does not rely on GPS.

Mission-critical situations need drones that can operate wherever and whenever needed…even in harsh environments. Bulky and fragile, today’s “industrial-grade” drones are not well-suited. They require significant support infrastructure and are difficult to transport to remote locations. Designed for ideal weather, light rain or moderate winds will cancel or interrupt flights. For military, public safety and critical infrastructure operators, cancelled or interrupted flight operations threaten the larger mission objective…and can even cost lives. Ascent’s coaxial drones are specifically designed for harsh environments. Their cylindrical design is inherently durable and able to absorb rough handling and weather that would ground conventional multirotors: • MORE COMPACT: Easier to transport where needed • MORE RUGGED: Withstands harsh environments and weather • MORE EFFICIENT: Flies longer and carries more • MORE VERSATILE: Modular design adapts to any mission

At Hammer Missions, we're building the aerial tools and intelligence of the future. As humans, what differentiates us is our ability to make useful tools that make our lives better - hammer stones were some of the earliest tools we built. A drone is like a hammer stone but for the 21st century! With that as our north star, our current software products Hammer App and Hammer Hub help drone professionals and Enterprise drone programmes collect quick and precise inspection data for a number of different infrastructure assets: roofs, facades, powerlines, towers, solar panels, wind turbines and more. Having deployed our software globally, we're quickly moving into a number of different use-cases & verticals. If you'd like to join a fast-growing team and shape the future of aerial data and mobile robotics, please get in touch with us below. We look forward to hearing from you!
