Unmanned Aerial Intelligence & Response Solutions
Mission-ready aerial capability for ISR, crime scene and forensic mapping, search & rescue, and wide-area situational awareness—delivered with program development, training, and sustainable fleet strategy.
UAS Leadership
MAXSUR leadership has worked with drones since 1999—developing imaging and connectivity payloads for leading UAS and robotics defense contractors. Since 2012, MAXSUR has pioneered operational breakthroughs for both law enforcement and defense, including early innovations in 3D crime and accident scene forensics, EO/IR UAS capability, and rescue-oriented drone systems.
Our team has also supported FAA-compliant program development and training for agencies, set long-distance performance records for critical infrastructure data-collection missions, and developed robotic payloads for direct manipulation—enabling sensor installation and maintenance support for fielded assets.
Forward Innovation
- Anti-spoofing and jam-resistant platform strategies for contested environments.
- Long-range, multi-hour performance options for wide-area ISR and data collection missions.
- NDAA-certified / compliant UAS configurations for government-aligned procurement needs.
- Program management, change management, and training to sustain capability.
- Fiscal support: capitalization modeling considerations and funding support guidance.
Core Capabilities
Built for real missions — configured for your environment, policy, and operating model.
Drones
Purpose-built platforms for ISR, mapping, and response—configured to meet mission requirements and procurement constraints.
- Complete turnkey NDAA system options
- Medium-range platforms for tactical ISR and crime scene photogrammetry missions
- Heavy-lift systems for rescue operations and LiDAR mapping/modeling missions
- Long-range drones for wide-area surveillance and persistent situational awareness
Custom Payload Development
Payload engineering and integration to extend mission capability—focused on practical outcomes and field reliability.
- RF, chemical, and visual sensing payload development and integration
- Robotic payload expertise for installation, transport, and deployment of mission equipment
- Innovation-first approach with disciplined engineering for operational excellence
Training
Training and program development built around your mission reality—so teams can deploy confidently and sustain capability.
- Thousands of law enforcement, public safety, and defense personnel trained
- Program development support aligned to agency needs and strategic objectives
- Training methods: knowledge, skills, and mission-based scenarios
Alternative to Drones: On-Demand Satellite Services
Drones are powerful—but not always the best tool. When areas are too large, aircraft are unavailable, or rapid collection is needed, satellite tasking can deliver timely intelligence at scale.
- Geo-specific assets and area intelligence with scheduled or on-demand collections
- Hyperspectral and nadir/multi-angle data options
- Ongoing monitoring for suspicious activity: illegal dumping, trespass, vehicle/personnel movement patterns
Expert Insights
Designing sustainable programs in a fast-changing UAS supply landscape.
Avoid Vendor Lock-In
Wherever practical, leverage non-proprietary components and systems. This helps treat drones as upgradeable assets—reducing dependence on any single manufacturer and keeping programs adaptable over time.
Invest in Technician Capability
Modular platforms pair best with in-house UAS technician training. Level II support and repair capability improves self-reliance, strengthens emergency readiness, and keeps fleets operational with fewer external delays.
Plan for Onboard AI
When possible, procure aircraft with onboard processing (GPU). Even if autonomy isn’t an immediate priority, embedded compute enables future adoption of autonomous flight, automated collection, and target search workload reduction.
