Mission Planning

The Technology Behind the Solution

Noise is more than a nuisance—it’s a tactical constraint. Drones that fly too loud risk detection, regulation, or mission failure. Waveguide is the first mission-planning engine that treats acoustics as a critical factor, just like terrain or battery life. By simulating how sound propagates across landscapes, factoring in topography, surface reflections, and background noise, Waveguide finds the quietest possible path for your drone to reach its objective. Powered by our psychoacoustic models and accurate real-world measurements, Waveguide predicts when and where a drone will be heard—and then adjusts routes to minimize exposure. The result: extended range, optimized energy use, and reduced risk of acoustic detection. At its core, Waveguide is a software platform that integrates seamlessly into your operational workflows. It supports diverse missions: covert ISR operations flying below the noise threshold of hostile sensors, commercial logistics flights complying with strict urban noise regulations, and multi-drone coordination where overlapping acoustic signatures must be managed. In short, Waveguide is the “Waze for drones”—helping you navigate not only space and time, but also sound.
