Why R₀?

Before the first response

R₀ is the zeroth response: an early look at what lies ahead.

Our drone is designed to reach a scene ahead of ground crews and share a live view. The zero represents that first step before responders arrive, helping them understand conditions and prepare to act.

Mission

Less uncertainty
More awareness

A clearer picture of the scene can help responders plan their approach.

Explore the mission

In development

Built around a clearer view

Reach the scene

Fast FPV flight to get there sooner, with steady observation once on scene. Our target of around 100 mph remains subject to testing.

Understand the space

A single FPV camera would stream video to a ground computer running monocular SLAM to build a map of the scene while the operator controls the drone.

Test every step

Simulation, bench testing, and flight trials will guide the design, from flight stability to the quality of the camera data.
