Roadmap

Hardware and control, advanced in deliberate phases.

Track PCB, airframe, and control milestones. Open-source scope is clear; hardware ships when it meets our stability bar.

Timeline

Milestones by phase.

PCB v1

Available

Baseline controller with stable power and IMU stack.

  • Open-source: Flight control, docs
  • Hardware: Shipping
  • Next: Field telemetry characterization

Drone v1

In development

Reference airframe validating PCB v1 under controlled flight.

  • Open-source: Flight control, test docs
  • Hardware: Limited prototypes
  • Next: Flight log release

PCB v2

In development

Latency-optimized board with improved RF isolation and sync taps.

  • Open-source: Control updates, docs
  • Hardware: Pre-release builds
  • Next: Lab timing sweep

Drone v2

Planned

Higher-thrust platform for multi-node sync and RF resilience.

  • Open-source: Flight logic updates
  • Hardware: Planned release
  • Next: Mesh range testing

PCB v3 Mesh

Coming soon

Mesh-ready control board enabling distributed phase alignment.

  • Open-source: Sync modules + docs
  • Hardware: Limited release
  • Next: Mesh timing validation

Drone v3 Mesh

Planned

Cooperative flight testbed for synchronized swarms.

  • Open-source: Control experiments
  • Hardware: Planned release
  • Next: Multi-node field tests

Controller

Planned

Deterministic ground interface with secure mesh handoff.

  • Open-source: Control UI concepts
  • Hardware: Planned release
  • Next: Link budget study

Mass Programmable Controller

Planned

Fleet-scale programming interface with telemetry oversight.

  • Open-source: Interface patterns
  • Hardware: Planned release
  • Next: Fleet orchestration research

Open source

Clarity on what is open today.

  • Always open: Flight control stack, documentation, and testing notes.
  • Selective release: Hardware design artifacts published after validation to protect reliability.
  • Collaboration: Contributions welcomed in controls, RF, telemetry, PCB layout, and documentation.
