The new platform combines advanced hardware and American-developed software to meet a variety of industry needs.
Anzu Robotics, LLC announces its new Raptor and Raptor T drone platforms, entering the highly competitive drone market. These platforms are distinguished by a combination of advanced hardware and secure, sophisticated software developed in the United States in partnership with Aloft Technologies, Inc., provider of the FAA's B4UFly app and drone fleet management solutions.
The venture is led by Randall Warnas, a veteran of drone companies including DJI, Teledyne FLIR, and Autel, and a prominent figure in the drone industry. Entry into new markets offers a new approach to the problem of providing capable and affordable aircraft that meet security requirements and are manufactured by US-based companies.
Randall Warnas, CEO of Anzu Robotics, expressed enthusiasm about the new product: “We are excited to bring Raptor and Raptor T to the industrial drone market. The timing couldn't be better. These platforms meet the highest standards of quality, reliability and innovation.”
All software development for the Raptor series is conducted domestically. This move aims to provide users with a high level of data protection and privacy, which is very important in today's technological environment.
Raptor drones feature sophisticated visual and thermal imaging capabilities, making them ideal for a variety of industries including public safety, utilities, and resource conservation. Raptor models feature high-resolution cameras with hybrid zoom, while the Raptor T adds advanced thermal imaging.
Jon Hegranes, CEO of Aloft Technologies, emphasized the focus on software integrity. “In our collaboration with Anzu Robotics on the Raptor series, we prioritized the integrity and security of our customer data above all else. Powered by Aloft’s state-of-the-art software and hosted on secure in-country servers, we ensure that every flight captured, every data collected and every decision made is underpinned by the highest standards of data protection and privacy.”
The Raptor series is manufactured in Malaysia and most parts are sourced from the same region. This strategy helps keep drone prices competitive without compromising on quality or performance. “We manufacture our hardware independently in countries of origin that are not considered a threat,” said Randall Warnas. “This has allowed us to keep our drone prices very competitive, making them accessible to organizations with limited budgets.”
Technology transfer agreements allow Anzu Robotics to provide a platform to fill a market gap by manufacturing outside of the country. Anzu emphasizes that despite its international manufacturing contracts, it maintains complete control over product performance, data security and customer satisfaction. The company is entirely American owned and operated, and has a clear commitment to maintaining data sovereignty and security for its users.
“These platforms meet the highest standards of quality, reliability and innovation. With strategic manufacturing and software development partnerships and a commitment to security, transparency and performance, we are confident our drones will meet the diverse needs of public safety agencies and industries across the country,” says Warnas.
