The drive to transform the engineering sector in Africa has led us to the birth of a new startup. We are taking over the skies by building aerial vehicles to support security, agriculture and emergency management.

The need for indigenous Africans to engineer solutions to it's local problems cannot be overemphasized. Godwit 1.0 is the first in a family of Aerial and Ground vehicles that will transform the engineering industry in Africa

As we build, we will create jobs, conduct cutting edge research and export technology.

Sector

 

Security / Military
Intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition an reconnaisance (ISTAR), Godwit is a rugged vechile with an endurance that allows it fly for hours to distances up to 30 km from the ground station. With an advanced mission planning system, it returns to base even when it loses connection with the GS.
Agriculture
Using advanced imaging technologies, UAVs can provide information about crop growth stages, health and soil variations.
Emergency
Deploying UAVs in emergency situations can provide insights into the quantity and type of resources required on the ground

Our Team

Building UAVs is an interdisciplinary engineering endeavour. We have the brightest minds on our team.
