Shearwater develops Smart Flight™, a flight-planning and optimization platform that helps UAV operators extend range, endurance and time-on-station. In complex, contested operations, weather, terrain, threats, aircraft performance, energy and payload all shape what's achievable, yet that knowledge usually lives in separate heads and separate tools. Smart Flight pulls it together, planning and adapting missions in real time so aircraft can fly when and where others believe they can't, avoid threats, draw energy from the environment, and consequently, lets operators oversee many aircraft at once. It was developed in partnership with DARPA, it's software-only, and it works with any UAV platform.
We're building our presence in Ukraine and looking for someone deeply networked in the country's UAV and defence ecosystem to lead that effort on the ground.
