"What stood out to me was the clean and user-friendly interface — it's intuitive and easy to get started with. I appreciate how quickly you can set up a mission."
Christos Xylokotas, UAS Expert

“With Smart Flight, operators can focus entirely on the mission objective. Contingency planning and dynamic replanning demand insight into terrain, weather, and aircraft limits; automating those steps—including a clear go/no-go—takes a huge load off pilots and keeps missions within safe bounds.”

Applications of Smart Flight™
Transform every aspect
of your military operations
Explore how Shearwater’s military drone software enhances military operations across a wide range of mission-critical scenarios. From surveillance to tactical resupply, Smart Flight™ is engineered to optimize performance in even the most demanding environments, ensuring success in the field.
01
Intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR)
Smart Flight™ greatly extends drone endurance and data-gathering capabilities, revolutionizing ISTAR operations. Drones using our software are able to remain in the air for prolonged periods of time during essential missions, which makes it possible for them to cover large regions and gather more comprehensive intelligence. By ensuring that command centers receive real-time intelligence, this ongoing surveillance improves situational awareness and facilitates the making of more informed judgments. Smart Flight™ makes sure that your drones stay in the air longer, giving consistent, dependable support in ever-changing environments—whether you're following enemy movements, keeping an eye on valuable targets, or collecting vital reconnaissance data. Our software keeps your drones focused on the objective by adapting to dynamic conditions like shifting weather or evolving threats. This ensures that you always have access to high-value intelligence.
02
Tactical resupply in challenging terrain
Maintaining supply lines to forward operating bases (FOBs) or isolated units is a tough task in many military operations, especially when dealing with challenging terrain or hostile conditions. By evaluating topography, weather, and possible threats, Smart Flight™ optimizes tactical resupply missions to design the safest and most effective delivery routes. Drones with our proprietary software capabilities may fly to hard-to-reach areas and drop supplies directly to troops, even in dangerous combat zones. Examples of these supplies include food, medical kits, and ammunition. This feature is especially helpful in areas with mountains, thick forests, or deserts where conventional ground vehicles have difficulty.
Smart Flight™ reduces logistical strains and lowers personnel risks while assisting in maintaining the operational preparedness of your forces by guaranteeing supplies are delivered on schedule and in the appropriate quantities.
03
Electronic warfare
Military drones can now more effectively detect, disrupt, and destroy adversary communications and electronic systems thanks to Smart Flight™, which elevates electronic warfare operations. Longer flight times allow drones to provide continuous support for missions involving jamming or interference. Drones can remain operational in contested areas by constantly adjusting their flight paths to evade detection, countermeasures, or hostile engagement, thanks to the software's real-time adaptability.
Smart Flight™ increases the effectiveness of electronic countermeasures by allowing your electronic warfare drones to fly longer. This means that there are more opportunities to neutralize enemy radar systems, disrupt communications, and degrade enemy capabilities without having to redeploy frequently. As a result, military forces are able to consistently interrupt adversary operations and maintain the upper hand in electronic warfare scenarios.

Aerial Decoy Drones: Disrupting Enemy Defenses
Our AI-powered military drones, such as Smart Flight™, are designed to operate as highly effective and affordable aerial target simulators, playing a key role in offensive strategies. These drones can mimic the flight patterns and behaviors of enemy aircraft, missiles, or other airborne threats with our proprietary artificial intelligence for military drones, deceiving adversaries into believing they face a real threat. By deploying these drones deep into enemy territory, our software enables them to trigger costly countermeasures from the opposition, forcing them to waste valuable resources to neutralize low-cost drones.
At scale, this tactic can significantly strain the enemy's financial resources, making it a powerful tool in modern warfare. The flexibility of our software allows for quick adjustments to flight patterns and behaviors, ensuring that the drones can continuously adapt to evolving mission needs, keeping adversaries off balance and contributing to a more effective, resource-efficient offensive strategy.
Each of these use cases demonstrates how Smart Flight™, which offers improved performance, accuracy, and adaptability across a wide range of mission-critical tasks, is a revolutionary technological advancement for military operations.
