Built in the Field. Engineered for What’s Next.
From hands-on operations to the future of drone autonomy.
Built from real-world drone operations.
NavDome originated within Advanced Drone Solutions Inc., where years of exterior drone cleaning operations revealed the limitations of existing drone hardware and navigation systems.
In response, ADS developed Stratos, the market’s first GPS-denied cleaning drone, designed to maintain stable flight where traditional navigation systems struggle.
While building Stratos, a broader limitation became clear: autonomous drones still lack a persistent understanding of the environments they operate in. NavDome emerged from that realization.
Rather than designing autonomy systems in ideal laboratory conditions, NavDome is being shaped through real-world deployments such as Stratos, where precision, stability, and environmental awareness are continuously tested.
By developing NavDome within this environment, the system is forced to solve some of the hardest navigation problems drones encounter in practice—creating a foundation that can translate naturally to a wide range of other autonomous drone applications.
