We are Auterion

Auterion is the drone platform built for enterprise that powers any drone with the software, payloads and seamless workflow integrations required for large-scale drone operations.

WHO ARE WE

On the same mission for over a decade

We’re leaders in an open source movement bigger than ourselves that works together to meet the needs of enterprises, government, and drone manufacturers. We believe in openness, partnership, engineering excellence, and empowering the drone industry.

We’ve been on the same mission for over a decade. Our story began with Pixhawk in 2008 and the revolutionary PX4 software created by our co-founder Lorenz Meier, now the most widely used open-source drone autopilot operating system. In 2019 we contributed over half of the 1.4 million lines of code added to PX4.

With offices in California and R&D in Switzerland, we’ve raised $25M in venture-backed funding. Today, our software platforms powers the drones of some of the leaders in the industry, including General Electric (GE) Aviation, Quantum Systems, Impossible Aerospace, and the U.S. Department of Defense.

We accelerate the drone industry

Our goal is to be the drone software platform of choice for enterprises and drone manufacturers, while accelerating the industry by driving forward open standards to create a common, future-proof roadmap. This gives everyone involved, whether vendors or buyers, confidence that they will achieve a return on their investment, and access to a wide choice of partners and integrations in an open ecosystem.

We create all our software and hardware using open source technologies like PX4 and open standards like MAVLink and Pixhawk. Today, we are the largest contributor to PX4 and the Auterion software platform powers consumer, commercial, and industrial drones of every type, from multicopters to VTOLs.

HOW WE WORK

We believe in open source and common standards

Common standards for a scalable industry

We work closely with the global industry and standardization bodies to establish common standards that make drone components and products easier for everyone to produce, integrate, and maintain.

How we drive standards

We are the largest contributor to PX4

In 2011 our co-founder Lorenz Meier created PX4, the world’s most widely used open-source flight controller for drones and other unmanned vehicles. Today, it is the core of what we do at Auterion.
