CAPABILITIES
Defense
Spectra Aeronautics delivers attritable Group 1 and 2 fixed-wing UAS purpose-built for defense applications. By leveraging U.S.-based additive manufacturing and a modular open-systems approach, our aircraft provide affordable, scalable, and rapidly adaptable solutions to meet the evolving needs of the warfighter.
​
Our platforms enable seamless integration of ISR, non-lethal, and lethal payloads, ensure interoperability with existing command-and-control networks, and support decentralized production for forward-deployed operations. Proudly designed and manufactured in the United States, Spectra’s UAS deliver mission-ready capability with reduced cost, risk, and lead times.
DIY/Hobbyists
Spectra Aeronautics empowers DIY builders and hobbyists to manufacture advanced UAS right at home using consumer-grade 3D printers. By offering select platforms as ready-to-print digital files, we make it possible to explore flight testing, experiment with autonomy, and push the boundaries of personal robotics research without the barriers of traditional aerospace development.
Our modular, open approach gives enthusiasts the flexibility to customize payloads, test new concepts, and bring cutting-edge aerospace innovation into their own workshops.
Commercial
Spectra Aeronautics provides fixed-wing UAS platforms tailored for commercial innovators who demand 100% U.S.-sourced components. Our modular architecture enables seamless integration of diverse payloads, making our systems ideal for developmental applications in counter-UAS testing, AI and autonomy research, and advanced manufacturing.
With additive manufacturing at the core of our process, we deliver affordable, rapidly customizable platforms that empower commercial entities to prototype, validate, and scale new technologies with speed and confidence.
Educational
Institutions
Spectra Aeronautics provides advanced yet practical UAS platforms tailored for higher education and research environments. With straightforward design and modular architecture, our systems enable hands-on exploration of aerodynamics, flight performance, control systems, and robotics.
​
By combining simplicity with technical depth, Spectra’s UAS offer universities and research institutions a scalable toolset for coursework, laboratory studies, and applied research, bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world aerospace innovation.
