Reasons to Invest

Urban Air Mobility (AKA “flying cars”) is an exciting space that people have dreamed about for decades. From the beginning, our founder's vision has always been to have xCraft move people and things efficiently and autonomously through the vast open airspace. Our plan is to continue to reshape the future of the drone industry right here in the USA.

xCraft develops technology that powers the future of autonomous flight. With a launch on ABC’s Shark Tank, xCraft has become “America’s Drone Company” creating an arsenal of innovative, patented drone systems that have forever changed the UAV landscape. Now our products are launching into a marketplace full of demand for the solutions we’ve crafted.

xCraft appeared on Shark Tank and was approved by all five celebrity investors. Following our debut on the show, we were featured in multiple major press outlets including VentureBeat, Inc.com, Fortune, Business Insider, MarketWatch, UAS Magazine, Fast Company, and TechCrunch.

We’ve raised over $4.3M from previous crowdfunding campaigns and now have more than 5,000 existing shareholders. Recently, we developed a USA-Built multirotor with a 2Kg payload for DoD and tactical operations and delivered drones to the US Air Force Academy for UAS training. We also added an aviation pioneer and founder of Scaled Composites, Burt Rutan, to our Advisory board. 

And lastly, when it comes to our sales - purchase orders have already exceeded 

$6 Million.

Drones expand the reach of the human race, enabling us to quickly deliver life-saving medications, search and rescue more efficiently, safely spot wildfires, and even communicate in areas without cellular reception. But, prior to xCraft, there was a gap in the market for high quality UAV that fly extremely fast and far, while communicating with their counterparts.

xCraft's patented technologies are taking the drone industry to new heights. Our team provides valuable products to critical markets such as agriculture, defense, public safety, mining and construction. xCraft's unique drones are designed to outperform our competitors. These technologies, among others still in development, will also be used in the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market. 

The global urban air mobility market is projected to reach USD $86.83 Billion by 2035 (Source), while the commercial drone market size is projected to reach USD $35.4 Billion Million by 2026 (Source). Meanwhile, the military drone market is expected to reach USD $21.76 Billion by 2026 (Source).

As markets reach new heights, xCraft is partnering with companies in various industries to solve real world problems.

Public Safety

xCraft is committed to providing state-of-the-art technology to improve public safety. Our current solutions include the PANADRONE, SHADOW, MATRIX SE, and the NANO ONE. 

These drones are becoming an invaluable tool in firefighting, rescue services, and law enforcement. This incredible aerial imaging technology is being used in more industries every day, but its value as a safety tool is also starting to be widely recognized. 

Whether employed in disaster response or as part of a search and rescue mission, the many benefits of using drones are clear. Models like the xCraft Panadrone can quickly scan wide areas, record threats using high-resolution imagery, and give first responders immediate data to work with when allocating personnel and resources.

Combined with other technology such as thermal sensors, drones can also locate missing persons in remote locations in a fraction of the time it would take an on-the-ground search-and-rescue crew. 

Surveying & Mapping

The geospatial industry is constantly looking for ways to improve data collection and accuracy. The addition of new UAV technology has become a mainstay factor adding to the speed of data collection and pinpoint accuracy.

xCraft technology harnesses the advancements of data collection sensors and the GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) to deliver high-quality mapping and surveying results. Our long-range, fully autonomous UAV platforms are pushing the edge of UAV technology in the Surveying and Mapping industry.

Defense

xCraft strives to support the military with low-cost, rugged, and simple drone operations to successfully support a large spectrum of conflict. 

These operations can support: 

• (ISR) Intelligence
• Surveillance
• Reconnaissance
• Target or Enemy Identification
• Tracking
• Counter-Explosive Hazards
• Combat Support and Sustainment

In addition, we secure greater interoperability among system controlled communications, data products, data links, and payloads/mission-equipped packages on UAV.

xCraft UAV capabilities and new developments in technologies enable missions to be more effective with reduced risk. xCraft designs, implementation, and development of UAVs can significantly augment a mission’s outcome. The reduction of casualties is our main focus; we have minimized the soldier’s workload, vulnerability, and exposure to the enemy.

Mining & Construction

The use of mining drones has revolutionized the way large mine sites and quarries oversee their operations. Unlike traditional surveying methods, our drones are able to provide exceedingly quick and accurate data across a large territory. This dynamic, real-time data collection also facilitates communication between workers on the ground and management at other sites.

Our drones are equipped with downward-facing cameras that are able to capture highly detailed images of a mining site from a variety of angles. The resulting models and images allow precise calculation of stockpile values and the amount of material that can be moved.  Additionally, these images help managers pinpoint safety concerns that might affect workers at any given work site.

While our drones thrive in mining and surveying capacities, they can provide immense value across multiple verticals. In fact, the Panadrone, is a fully autonomous tethered “drone-in-a-box” that can fly up to 400 feet and remain airborne for 24+ hours. This system, which features an aerial camera and pop-up mesh network for communication, will be used by one of our customers to survey disaster areas.

In addition to Panadrone, our innovations have the ability to hit major markets in diverse industries. 

Here’s a look at the rest of our product pipeline:

The innovative solution for surveying and mapping

Everything you need to begin capturing high-res mapping images is included in the MATRIX RTK Package. We designed the MATRIX RTK to be a one-stop solution for surveyors and engineers. We have developed a GPS bay station to be used alongside the MATRIX RTK to achieve autonomous route precision down to centimeters. 

We are currently developing an image stitching software that would allow high-res mapping images taken during a flight to be stitched and processed in a fraction of the time it takes currently.

Bringing state of the art surveillance to security and defense departments

Providing the modern foot soldier with an ultra-portable, immediately deployable EO and IR micro UAS for real-time situational awareness. The xCraft NANO ONE is a rugged, American-Made platform with extended 30-minute endurance and best-in-class wind and rain tolerance. Simple and intuitive operation in GPS or GPS denied Environments, Auto Return, and Lost Link failsafe features preserve mission success when it matters most.

xCraft’s Shadow V2.0 is a portable, unmanned aerial system capable of 24hr+ tethered flight at altitudes of up to 100ft.

The UAS optionally integrates seamlessly with a secure Rajant Mesh communication network as a relay node and offers real-time streaming HD video, making it a valuable asset for any situation requiring secure pop-up surveillance and/or communication.

Set up is as easy as plugging in the 120/240VAC tether and sending the launch command through the controller. Pre-loaded flight stabilization software keeps the UAS hovering above the launch point at a fixed altitude, adjusting for wind (up to 30 knots or 34 mph) and light rain. When the mission is complete, a simple “land” command transmitted through the controller returns the UAS to the ground, where it can be unplugged, packed, and ready for transport in minutes. The system includes an emergency backup power system that will safely return the UAS to the ground in the event of a primary power system failure.

Five Pound Payload. American-Made Workhorse.

The MATRIX SE is powerful and efficient. It comes with a SUI Controller and Android tablet. Depending on what you need, the Matrix SE has options. Easily swap payloads to meet your desired outcome. 4K camera with 3.5X zoom, LIDAR, Thermal, IR, EO, and Multispectral payloads are available.

Maximizing scouting efficiency and accuracy

For quick and thorough surveying and scouting, we recommend the Maverick Mapper. It can autonomously map a 40-acre area in a quick, 25-minute flight. The Mapper comes with a Skydroid controller that’s compatible with any iOS or Android phone or tablet.

At xCraft, we are on a mission to develop powerful flying robots that change the world. Our vision is to better the planet and bring value to people’s lives by cultivating love, personal fulfillment, and innovation.

As “America’s Drone Company”, we see it as our mission to bring better, more efficient, life-saving solutions to the drone industry. Over our last Reg A+ campaigns and two Reg CF campaigns, we raised approximately $4.3M which enabled us to develop three new game-changing drone systems. Our company’s investors include over 5,000  shareholders. We hope you’ll join us, too, as we move into our next phase of innovation and continue to bring life-changing technology to the market.

Disclosure on prior Kickstarter & Indiegogo Campaigns: In 2015, xCraft ran a successful Kickstarter campaign and later an Indiegogo campaign for the PhoneDrone. The concept was just what the name implies; it was a drone that carried a smartphone - using its camera, processor, GPS, and cellular connectivity to create an intelligent flying robot. xCraft has been issued patents for this technology.

Although the initial funding went well, the project faced many challenges and delays in delivery, culminating with our manufacturer in China pulling the plug and walking away with almost $300k of our backer’s money. This was a huge blow to a small startup and to our community. We decided to do the right thing; cancel the project and pledge to refund backers. Today, we have already provided many refunds, but the work is not done. We are continuing to refund every single backer. Up to $150k of funds from this raise may go to refunds for those previous campaigns.
