Realtime Robotics

Realtime Robotics makes drones for defense, public safety, commercial, and training use. Its US headquarters is in Castro Valley, California. Its research and development team works at the Saigon Hi-Tech Park in Vietnam. The site says the company was founded in 2014 and is led by Quoc Luong, Ph.D., its founder and CEO.

The company's products include HERA, a backpack drone that can be deployed in under 60 seconds. VEGA is a tactical heavy-lift drone with a 44 lb payload and 60 minutes of endurance. Other products are OmniSight, a dual-pod 360 degree AI gimbal, HeraSight, a dual EO/IR gimbal, and OmniGuard, an autonomous perimeter defense system.

The site says the company designs and makes its airframes, avionics, motors, propellers, gimbals, controllers, and batteries in house. It says it has 70 or more engineers and two facilities. The site says the drones are NDAA compliant and meet NDAA Section 889 requirements. It also says the drones are eligible for the Blue sUAS list.

The site lists field tests. These include 31 mph wind tolerance and onboard edge AI with 105 TOPS of compute. It says HERA can carry four payloads at once. The site also says customers report two to three times productivity gains in defense ISR, powerline inspection, precision agriculture, and public safety work.

The site says HERA is distributed across North America by RMUS. It lists a "3x faster powerline inspection" result for the Hera platform. The company also supplies NDAA compliant sensors and components.

The contact page has a sales form with inquiry types for defense, commercial, OEM, training, and demo requests. It also has a distributor locator. The site says the team replies within one business day. A US phone number and social media accounts on LinkedIn, Facebook, X, and Instagram are listed.
