Autonomous Flight Technologies, Inc Information

Autonomous Flight Technologies (AFT) is a U.S.-based engineering, advanced manufacturing, and flight operations company focused on the development and application of next-generation uncrewed and autonomous systems for defense, national security, and industrial applications. Founded in 2012, AFT has been providing professional UAS flight operations and industrial services for more than a decade while continuously advancing the technologies behind uncrewed systems. Our operational experience provides a unique foundation for understanding how these systems perform outside the laboratory and in demanding real-world environments. AFT specializes in the design, engineering, rapid prototyping, manufacturing, integration, flight testing, and operation of Group 1–3 uncrewed systems across air, land, and maritime domains. Our capabilities include UAS and counter-UAS technologies, autonomous platforms, AI-enabled systems, training and target systems, advanced composites, rapid manufacturing, and specialized flight operations. Our industrial flight services support a wide range of applications, leveraging years of hands-on UAS experience to safely and effectively deploy uncrewed technologies in real-world operations. AFT was built around a simple philosophy: design, build, fly, test, learn, and improve. By combining engineering and manufacturing with extensive field and flight experience, we are able to move rapidly from concept and CAD through production, integration, testing, and operational deployment. We work alongside defense, government, academic, and industry partners to solve emerging challenges and accelerate new capabilities from concept to the field. Our mission is to advance American-made autonomous technologies, strengthen the U.S. defense industrial base, support the evolving needs of the warfighter, and continue expanding the use of uncrewed systems across defense and industrial applications.
