Icarus

Icarus is revolutionizing defense intelligence and connectivity. The company develops autonomous, solar-powered aircraft designed to operate at an altitude of 60,000 feet for extended periods, leveraging solar energy above cloud cover. These aircraft provide persistent surveillance capabilities, representing a modern, cost-effective alternative to traditional high-altitude reconnaissance platforms like the U-2. With a unit cost of $100,000 and scalable production, Icarus envisions a future where the stratosphere becomes a critical domain for defense operations, offering unparalleled situational awareness and communication.
