Build Certified Drones. Fast.

ADOS reference designs and Type Certification documentation cut your certification costs by 60-70% and get you to market 2-3 months faster. Build on a purpose-built platform instead of starting from scratch.

The Problem

Type Certification is broken

Indian drone manufacturers face an expensive, slow, and opaque certification process. Most never make it through.

The Solution

ADOS Reference Designs + TC Documentation

Purpose-built for certification. You build on top.

Every ADOS reference design will include comprehensive Type Certification documentation — test reports, compliance matrices, and regulatory filings. OEMs building on our platform skip months of documentation and testing work.

The result: INR 4-7 lakh for certification instead of INR 15-20 lakh. Two to three months instead of six or more. Purpose-built architecture instead of starting from zero.

What you get

  • ✓Complete TC documentation package
  • ✓ADOS flight computer reference design
  • ✓ATE (Authorized Test Entity) testing facilitation
  • ✓Digital Sky registration guidance
  • ✓DGCA compliance matrix and filing templates
  • ✓DroneNet fleet management integration
  • ✓Ongoing firmware and software updates

Why ADOS

The unfair advantage for drone OEMs

60-70% lower certification costs

INR 4-7 lakh instead of INR 15-20 lakh. Our purpose-built documentation and reference designs eliminate redundant testing and engineering work.

2-3 months faster to market

Skip the months of documentation, testing, and back-and-forth with regulators. Start from a purpose-built baseline and customize for your use case.

Purpose-built flight computer architecture

AI-capable compute, dedicated autopilot processor, HD video, and 4G/5G connectivity — all on one board. Designed for certification from day one.

PLI subsidy pathway

ADOS-based drones are designed to qualify for the Production-Linked Incentive scheme. Up to 20% incentive on incremental sales for three years.

Reference Platforms

Two reference designs
