Light, efficient unmanned platforms for air and marine defense applications
Frost Unmanned builds embedded firmware and custom autopilot stacks (PX4, ROS 2) for unmanned aerial and surface vehicles. The company is scaling from early-stage engineering toward mid-market manufacturing—active projects span firmware, RF/SDR communication design, and production capacity expansion—while internal pain points center on supply chain optimization, process documentation, and operational efficiency. Leadership includes a COO, signaling transition from pure engineering to structured operations.
