Drones & UAV defence companies in Switzerland

Builds the operating system and autonomy software that turns commercial drones into coordinated swarms for defence and enterprise fleet operations.

AuterionOS

The onboard operating system for autonomous drones and ground vehicles. Vendor-independent by design and built on PX4 and open standards, it runs across fleets of mixed-manufacturer vehicles, providing a consistent experience for autonomy, comms, sensors and apps. New capabilities can be deployed as apps without hardware changes.

Skynode X

An all-in-one autopilot and mission computer that integrates flight control, a mission computer and LTE connectivity into a single module. Skynode X gives any drone or robot immediate access to the full Auterion software stack — mission planning, live video, cloud analytics and predictive maintenance — without assembling separate components.

Skynode S

A compact, cost-effective version of the Skynode hardware platform designed for volume deployment. With over 50,000 units in service, it is the most widely deployed secure control module for autonomous aerial systems and serves as the hardware foundation for Nemyx swarm operations.

Nemyx

Swarm coordination software that links autonomous drones into a single, resilient combat force. Built on AuterionOS and optimised for Skynode S, Nemyx allows one operator to strike multiple targets simultaneously and maintain mission continuity even when GPS and video links are jammed. It integrates with existing fleets without hardware replacements.

Builds and operates the SDO 50 V3, a long-range turbine-powered unmanned helicopter for BVLOS infrastructure inspection, aerial surveillance and search-and-rescue missions.

Swiss BVLOS drone operator providing Security-as-a-Service for defence, border protection, and critical infrastructure monitoring. Partnered with Thales for UAS100 drone systems with 100+ km operating range, flying from four Swiss airbases.

Swiss counter-drone startup developing the WASP autonomous kinetic interceptor system to defeat Group 1-2 UAVs. Founded by former Rheinmetall Skyranger lead engineer, tested with Armasuisse in alpine conditions. HIVE launcher stacks 64 interceptors controlled by one operator.
