With a launch on ABC’s Shark Tank, xCraft has become “America’s Drone Company” creating an arsenal of innovative, patented drone systems that have forever changed the UAV landscape. Now our products are launching into a marketplace full of demand for the solutions we’ve crafted.

xCraft appeared on Shark Tank and was approved by all five celebrity investors. Following our debut on the show, we were featured in multiple major press outlets including VentureBeat, Inc.com, Fortune, Business Insider, MarketWatch, UAS Magazine, Fast Company, and TechCrunch.

At xCraft, we are on a mission to develop powerful flying robots that change the world. Our vision is to better the planet and bring value to people’s lives by cultivating love, personal fulfillment, and innovation. We take pride in being leaders in American technological innovation, as we strive to surpass our customers’ expectations while delivering undeniable value.

Our company’s investors include over 5,000 shareholders. We hope you’ll join us, too, as we move into our next phase of innovation and continue to bring life-changing technology to the market.

XCRAFT PARTNERS WITH T-MOBILE: THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!

xCraft Enterprises, “America’s Drone Company”, has entered into a partnership with T-Mobile as part of T-Mobile’s Business Partner Program. As a result of this partnership, xCraft is broadening its offerings to include 5G services for enterprise, public safety, government and other key business segments. xCraft believes that its UAS solutions combined with T-Mobile’s nationwide 5G network will create manifold broadband opportunities for businesses around the country and around the world.

5G technology really ups the ante for drone capabilities. Under less robust communications technologies, drones have to rely upon point-to-point communication links, which can occasionally result in signals being lost–which means that drone pilots cannot operate their drones optimally.

But with 5G’s reliability and reach, communication between drones and ground pilots will be seamless, critical for real-time camera feeds. xCraft’s UAV’s will have the capability to respond more quickly to commands, even when working in crowded environments where communication avenues might otherwise be congested, and even in situations in which drone pilots are unable to maintain line of sight. This gives drones a greater effective range for carrying out critical functions. This technology also enables drones to operate in GPS-denied spaces by relying instead on camera information to accurately pinpoint where a drone is in real-time.

xCraft’s partnership with T-Mobile carries tremendous promise for expanding the utility and reliability of xCraft drones for mapping, inspection, surveillance, and reconnaissance across a broad spectrum of industries.

Problem

There is a shortage of innovation and improvements in the drone industry that xCraft is revolutionizing. Drones expand the reach of the human race, enabling us to quickly deliver life-saving medications, search and rescue more efficiently, safely spot wildfires, and even communicate in areas without cellular reception. But, prior to xCraft, there was a gap in the market for high-quality UAV that fly extremely fast and far, while communicating with their counterparts.

Solution

The solution is introducing our efficient, unique, and patented technology into the marketplace. xCraft’s patented technologies are taking the drone industry to new heights. Our team provides valuable products to critical markets such as agriculture, defense, public safety, mining, and construction. xCraft’s unique drones are designed to outperform our competitors. These technologies, among others still in development, will also be used in the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market.


Business Model

We sell our products to various industries such as Public Safety, Surveying & Mapping, Defense, and Mining & Construction.

Public Safety

xCraft is committed to providing state-of-the-art technology to improve public safety. Our current solutions include the PANADRONE, SHADOW, MATRIX SE, and the NANO ONE.

These drones are becoming invaluable tools in firefighting, rescue services, and law enforcement. This incredible aerial imaging technology is being used in more industries every day, but its value as a safety tool is also starting to be widely recognized.

Whether employed in disaster response or as part of a search and rescue mission, the many benefits of using drones are clear. Models like the xCraft Panadrone can quickly scan wide areas, record threats using high-resolution imagery, and give first responders immediate data to work with when allocating personnel and resources.

Combined with other technology such as thermal sensors, drones can also locate missing persons in remote locations in a fraction of the time it would take an on-the-ground search-and-rescue crew.

Surveying & Mapping

The geospatial industry is constantly looking for ways to improve data collection and accuracy. The addition of new UAV technology has become a mainstay factor adding to the speed of data collection and pinpoint accuracy.

xCraft technology harnesses the advancements of data collection sensors and the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) to deliver high-quality mapping and surveying results. Our long-range, fully autonomous UAV platforms are pushing the edge of UAV technology in the Surveying and Mapping industry.

Defense

xCraft strives to support the military with low-cost, rugged, and simple drone operations to successfully support a large spectrum of conflict.

These operations can support:
1. ISR Intelligence
2. Surveillance
3. Reconnaissance
4. Target or Enemy Identification
5. Tracking
6. Counter-Explosive Hazards
7. Combat Support & Sustainment

In addition, we secure greater interoperability among system-controlled communications, data products, data links, and payloads/mission-equipped packages on UAVs.

xCraft UAV capabilities and new developments in technologies enable missions to be more effective with reduced risk. xCraft designs, implementation, and development of UAVs can significantly augment a mission’s outcome. The reduction of casualties is our main focus; we have minimized the soldier’s workload, vulnerability, and exposure to the enemy.

Mining & Construction

The use of mining drones has revolutionized the way large mine sites and quarries oversee their operations. Unlike traditional surveying methods, our drones are able to provide exceedingly quick and accurate data across a large territory. This dynamic, real-time data collection also facilitates communication between workers on the ground and management at other sites.

Our drones are equipped with downward-facing cameras that are able to capture highly detailed images of a mining site from a variety of angles. The resulting models and images allow precise calculation of stockpile values and the amount of material that can be moved. Additionally, these images help managers pinpoint safety concerns that might affect workers at any given work site.

Traction & Customers

xCraft appeared on Shark Tank and was approved by all five celebrity investors. Following our debut on the show, we were featured in multiple major press outlets including VentureBeat, Inc.com, Fortune, Business Insider, MarketWatch, UAS Magazine, Fast Company, and TechCrunch.

Here’s a look at our product pipeline:

Matrix RTK

The innovative solution for surveying and mapping.
Everything you need to begin capturing high-res mapping images is included in the MATRIX RTK Package. We designed the MATRIX RTK to be a one-stop solution for surveyors and engineers. We have developed a GPS bay station to be used alongside the MATRIX RTK to achieve autonomous route precision down to centimeters.

We are currently developing an image stitching software that would allow high-res mapping images taken during a flight to be stitched and processed in a fraction of the time it takes currently.

Nano One

Bringing state-of-the-art surveillance to security and defense departments
Providing the modern foot soldier with an ultra-portable, immediately deployable EO and IR micro UAS for real-time situational awareness. The xCraft NANO ONE is a rugged, American-Made platform with extended 30-minute endurance and best-in-class wind and rain tolerance. Simple and intuitive operation in GPS or GPS-denied Environments, Auto Return, and Lost Link failsafe features preserve mission success when it matters most.

Shadow

xCraft’s Shadow V2.0 is a portable, unmanned aerial system capable of 24hr+ tethered flight at altitudes of up to 100ft.
The UAS optionally integrates seamlessly with a secure Rajant Mesh communication network as a relay node and offers real-time streaming HD video, making it a valuable asset for any situation requiring secure pop-up surveillance and/or communication.

Set up is as easy as plugging in the 120/240VAC tether and sending the launch command through the controller. Pre-loaded flight stabilization software keeps the UAS hovering above the launch point at a fixed altitude, adjusting for wind (up to 30 knots or 34 mph) and light rain. When the mission is complete, a simple “land” command transmitted through the controller returns the UAS to the ground, where it can be unplugged, packed, and ready for transport in minutes. The system includes an emergency backup power system that will safely return the UAS to the ground in the event of a primary power system failure.

Matrix SE

Five Pound Payload. American-Made Workhorse.
The MATRIX SE is powerful and efficient. It comes with an SUI Controller and an Android tablet. Depending on what you need, the Matrix SE has options. Easily swap payloads to meet your desired outcome. 4K camera with 3.5X zoom, LIDAR, Thermal, IR, EO, and Multispectral payloads are available.

Maverick Mapper

Maximizing scouting efficiency and accuracy
For quick and thorough surveying and scouting, we recommend the Maverick Mapper. It can autonomously map a 40-acre area in a quick, 25-minute flight. The Mapper comes with a Skydroid controller that’s compatible with any iOS or Android phone or tablet.
