CDDS develops fully autonomous kinetic interceptor drones that neutralize Group 1 and 2 threats (up to 25kg drones) through direct mid-air collision. Our drones rely solely on a visual sensor for detection, tracking, and targeting. The founding team consists of 7 people with background in RL, physics, vision and business from ETH, HSG and other universities.
Our interceptor drones use RL-trained control system to predict impact points in real time and allow for a competitive edge in a 5 billion dollar market (https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/anti-drone-market-177013645.html).
