X-01 Preying Mantis Drone Hunter

The Mantis X-01 is an Edge-AI Passive Unmanned Ground Sensor engineered to deliver rapid, reliable detection and classification of rotary drones. Inspired by the mantis’ high-throughput visual system, the X-01 pairs a high-resolution optical array with dual neural accelerators and multi-modal sensing to produce precise, timestamped track data at the sensor edge. By performing inference on-device the X-01 minimises latency and bandwidth dependency, enabling dense, distributed deployments for wide-area coverage.

Designed for non-kinetic cueing and integration with authorised command systems, the X-01 outputs secure, standardised telemetry — position estimates, velocity trends, classification confidence and synchronized audio/EM indicators. Built for rugged field use, low power consumption and secure operation, the Mantis X-01 is intended for infrastructure operators, public safety agencies and defence customers seeking a responsible, scalable layer of aerial situational awareness.
