Seeing Systems

Modern militaries need large volumes of realistic drone operator training as well as affordable, expendable systems for one-way effector missions, but existing platforms are often too expensive to use at scale or too vulnerable to jamming in contested environments. The page also frames a coordination problem: a single operator today typically controls a single drone, limiting the ability to run synchronised multi-drone missions. Seeing Systems references testing in Ukraine, suggesting these are live battlefield constraints rather than theoretical ones.

Seeing Systems makes two hardware platforms and one software system. Bandit is a cost-effective FPV platform built for high-volume training and attritable one-way effector missions, with a 30+ km range, 1.5kg max payload, and 115 km/h speed. Banshee is a modular, IPX7-waterproofed autonomous drone for contested theatres, using a fibre-optic-guided clip-in module to resist jamming, with modular radio components and upgradable hardware, software and payloads; it has 40+ km range, 35+ minute flight time, and 145+ km/h speed. Aerie, described as in development, is agentic swarm software meant to coordinate multiple drones into synchronised tactical units through an open, platform-agnostic ground control architecture.

The site frames its work around a shift described as "modern conflict, modern training," tying its training platform to how warfare itself is changing.
