About Terra Industries
Terra Industries builds an integrated security stack around ArtemisOS, which combines data from fixed sensors, autonomous aircraft and ground vehicles for detecting, tracking and responding to activity around critical infrastructure. Kallon is a six-metre, solar-powered sentry tower with edge AI, 360-degree pan-tilt-zoom coverage and an IP67 enclosure for continuous monitoring at borders, mines and pipelines.
The vehicle range includes Archer, a carbon-fibre VTOL aircraft with a four-hour endurance and 20-kilogram payload capacity, and Iroko, a smaller modular quadcopter for first response and data collection. Duma extends the architecture onto an unmanned ground vehicle. Terra develops the hardware and software in Africa and is expanding production through a second Pax factory in Ghana, planned to manufacture as many as 50,000 aerial systems by 2028.
