Our Positioning
We integrate every stage, from chip design to UAV mission systems.
AQLS delivers a complete solution by integrating UAV-related chip design and EDA, aircraft design and manufacturing, Edge AI payloads, communications, ground control and mission integration.
Chip Design & EDA
We focus our design service on UAV-related chips. Our EDA tools and design service apply higher quality standards at every stage, from RTL analysis and SoC integration to foundry handoff.
Aircraft Designed & Built In-House
We design, manufacture and integrate our multirotor and fixed-wing VTOL aircraft in-house, configuring each platform for its mission.
Edge AI & UAV Mission Systems
AIVO and XEdgAI support onboard perception and edge deployment. We connect these capabilities with communications, ground control and mission integration.
Key Differentiator
We offer non-red sourcing options for critical components based on customer requirements, supporting procurement and information security needs for defense and sensitive missions.
One-Stop Service
We work with you from requirements definition and system design through AI model deployment and mission validation to help you achieve your goals.
The chip layer
We build reliability into the system, starting with chip design.
A chip or system failure during inspection, disaster response or other UAV missions can affect flight safety and mission outcomes. We focus our design service on UAV-related chips and apply higher quality standards to chip design and verification with our EDA tools and design service. We carry these reliability requirements through aircraft integration and mission testing.
The same EDA tools and higher design standard also apply to general IC design.

We review flight control hardware and firmware item by item, checking component origins, firmware control and navigation resilience against non-red supply chain requirements.
Communication & Video Links
We source RF, video transmission and SDR modules from non-red suppliers. Encrypted links carry control commands and video data.
Edge AI Computing
We use edge computing chips from global suppliers such as NVIDIA, Axelera, Intel and Qualcomm to meet chip sourcing security requirements and information security standards.
Optical & Sensor Payloads
We use high-end sensors, thermal imagers and precision gimbals made in Taiwan and allied countries to reduce the risk of hardware backdoors and data leaks.
