Open Source
Open Source, Open Sky
We're releasing our ADOS platform schematics, firmware, and software as open source. The community builds the ecosystem. Everyone wins.
Philosophy
Why open source for drones
DJI dominates the global drone market with a closed, proprietary stack. You can't modify their firmware, you can't access their schematics, and you can't build on their platform. Every drone manufacturer outside DJI is starting from scratch.
We're taking the opposite approach. By open-sourcing our ADOS platform design, we create a shared foundation that the entire industry can build on. The same strategy that made Android the dominant mobile operating system.
Android didn't win by building the best phone. It won by being the platform everyone built on.
Fork, modify, contribute
Full ADOS platform schematics on GitHub. Fork for your use case — agricultural sprayer, delivery drone, inspection platform. Contribute improvements back.
Community-driven development
Firmware, drivers, and integration libraries maintained by the community. Shared bugs, shared solutions, shared progress.
Designed for certification
ADOS reference designs will include comprehensive Type Certification documentation. OEMs building on our platform can get to market up to 60-70% cheaper and 2-3 months faster.
Roadmap
