Prove the claim
Performance statements should trace back to a configuration, a test and a data set — not a brochure.
Engineering-led · Pre-production
An unmanned systems company, starting with aircraft.
Aerinos is building the architecture, hardware and production discipline required to field adaptable autonomous systems across more than one domain.
Why Aerinos
Mission requirements move faster than closed platforms.
When payload, autonomy, communications and vehicle hardware are locked together, every new requirement becomes a redesign.
We are taking a different approach: a common autonomy core, a secure command layer, open payload boundaries and reusable mission software. The first Group 2 aircraft is one expression of that system — not the whole of it.
The moment
A world that is rearming, and a technology gap that is narrowing.
Defense budgets are expanding worldwide, and demand is concentrating on Group 2 systems — roughly 21 to 55 pounds, operating below 3,500 feet — because they are portable, affordable and mission-adaptable.
The signal is concrete. The U.S. Army's Long-Range Reconnaissance program is fielding Group 2 aircraft, and the Department of Defense's Replicator initiative is fielding attritable autonomous systems at scale. This is precisely the class of system Aerinos is being built to deliver.
What we hold ourselves to
Design for production
Supply resilience, serviceability and repeatability are engineering inputs from the first sketch, not afterthoughts.
Make integration legible
Clear interfaces reduce lock-in and make room for better mission technology as it arrives.
Keep people accountable
Operator authority and policy constraints belong inside the system design, not bolted on.
Affordable at scale
Cost is a design requirement: a modular platform should replace several specialized systems, not add to them.
Say where we are
We describe what is in development as in development, and speak plainly about program status.
How we work
An engineering-led approach to a hard, regulated market — building the durable foundation before the flashy demo.
Architecture first
We are building the common autonomy, command and payload layer before locking any single airframe — so capability can grow without a redesign.
Partner-integrated
Sensors, communications, navigation, autonomy and manufacturing are areas where we intend to integrate proven partners rather than reinvent them.
Production-minded
Design-for-manufacture and common components are being treated as engineering constraints from the start, aimed at a credible path to volume.
Planned South Carolina footprint
Close to the customer.
Built near the work.
Charleston focus
Planned customer engagement, systems strategy, partnerships and coastal mission development.
Gaffney focus
Planned engineering, integration, production planning and field support.
Leadership announcements will follow formal appointments.
We will publish executive, engineering and advisory profiles when those roles are finalized. We will not invent a team page to make the company look further along than it is.
