The scout. A compact quadrotor that keeps its bearings in streets, stairwells and canyons where GPS never reaches.
See platform specsOperational Autonomy
Autonomy that workswhere GPS does not.
Karta builds the intelligence that keeps unmanned aircraft flying when GPS is jammed, links drop and one operator is running twelve aircraft. A human stays in command of every call that matters.

Fault conditions
The denied environment is where autonomy earns its keep.
Real operations are defined by what fails. GPS, comms and operator attention degrade, usually together. One route from take off to landing, three fault zones, and a mission that completes anyway.
Fault conditions
01 · No GPS area
Navigation continues on vision and terrain matching alone.
02 · Comms jammed
The aircraft flies its plan and reports back when the link returns.
03 · Multiple aircraft
One operator supervises the flight; deconfliction is automatic.

दर्शनPhilosophy
At Karta, we believe autonomous systems need situational intelligence. Our mission is to build the operational autonomy layer that makes them practical, reliable and ready for the real world.
A vehicle that needs perfect signal is a fair-weather teammate. We build systems that keep flying when the link drops and the map goes quiet, with pilots staying in command of what matters.
The aircraft knows where it is: that is SkyAnchor. Command knows what to do next: that is TENERE. The theatre remembers why every action was allowed: that is Kiksuya. That loop, not any single vehicle, is what we ship.
The stack
A closed-loop autonomy stack for unmanned operations.
It localizes at the edge, executes commander intent through mission control, and records every decision at theatre level.
The moat
Three layers, one architecture. The same autonomy moves between airframes, and every decision it takes can be replayed and audited afterwards.
Explore the stackThe autonomy loop
Intent enters, situation resolves, mission adapts, audit returns. Then it begins again.
In practice: an operator draws a search area over a valley. TENERE turns it into flight plans for six aircraft. When jamming starts, SkyAnchor keeps each one located, and Kiksuya logs every decision for the debrief. Doctrine is not a slide. It is the plan that is actually executing.
Audit becomes the next intent
The platforms
The platforms that carry it.
KARI · CERANA · DORSATA
Three airframes, three jobs. Kari scouts where GPS never reaches, Cerana holds the watch through comms loss, and Dorsata lifts the sensors that see through weather. Every one of them carries the same autonomy stack.
All platforms
Apis · long-endurance fixed wing
Cerana
Enduring · Agile · Dependable
The watchstander. A hybrid VTOL fixed-wing that holds station for hours and finishes the sortie even when the link drops.

Apis · heavy multirotor
Dorsata
Persistent · Capable · Modular
The heavy lift. A multirotor that carries the full sensor suite - visual, thermal, radar - and watches through weather that blinds cameras.

Engineered close to the field.
The team that ships the code is the team that deploys it. Karta operates a single engineering station, close to the aerospace, semiconductor and defence-software talent we draw from, and close to the envelopes our vehicles fly.
