DRONEST · THE INFINITE LOOP

The drone
never stops.

Dronest NMC smart batteries. Autonomous cooled charging docks. One grid of Dronest infrastructure — so your fleet lands, hyper-charges from above, and takes off again. No human in the loop.

01 · THE STATUS QUO

The battery ceiling
is stifling scale.

Today's autonomous drones are held back not by their mission capabilities, but by their power systems. Fleets that can't scale. Assets that depreciate faster than they deliver value.

The 20-minute bottleneck

Drones spend more time on the ground charging than in the air earning. Operational uptime rarely exceeds 30%.

The labor trap

Scalable operations are impossible when a human must manually swap every battery — a hard ceiling on fleet size.

The ROI gap

High-performance drones are treated as consumables because thermally-unmanaged charging kills packs in 300–500 cycles.

02 · OUR SOLUTION

The proprietary
energy stack.

Exploded view of the Dronest battery and docking interface components

A unified battery + docking interface that transforms your drones from short-lived assets into persistent, always-on operational platforms.

Dronest NMC Smart Battery

21700 NMC cylindrical cells — ~250 Wh/kg at the cell, an embedded smart BMS publishing per-cell voltage, temperature, SOC and SOH over DroneCAN, and a bonded aluminium cooling plate as the dock's mating surface.

Active thermal exchange

Heat is managed at the dock, not on the drone. Liquid cooling holds cells below 35 °C through the entire 2.5C ramp — hyper-charging without thermal throttling, ~25 minutes to full.

Data-power handshake

Every charge event is a data-sync event. Mission logs, pack health history and cycle data offload automatically while the battery refuels.

03 · SKY-DOCK

Docking from above.
Delivering from below.

Delivery drones carry their package on the belly — so the belly must stay free. The Dronest Sky-Dock engages the drone's top plate from above: charge contacts, coolant loop and data link mate overhead while the payload bay stays untouched.

APPROACH TOP-DOWN MATE HYPER-CHARGING · <35°C MISSION RESUMED

No landing-gear wear

Overhead engagement removes ground-level hazards and mechanical wear entirely.

Sub-millimetre blind-mate

Vision + IR fiducials guide the drone; redundant sensors confirm the mate before power flows.

Package stays on board

Charge mid-route with cargo attached. Land, top up, continue the delivery.

04 · THE NETWORK EFFECT

From limited range
to unlimited reach.

We aren't selling a charger — we're building a utility grid for autonomous flight.

Hop-and-charge

A dense network of docks lets drones traverse entire regions — a 10 km delivery radius becomes a 100 km corridor.

Node-based logistics

Any rooftop, field or industrial site becomes a refueling hub. Infrastructure follows your mission.

True 24/7 BVLOS

Beyond-visual-line-of-sight missions around the clock, with zero human intervention at charge points.
