About
About Valqari
Valqari develops drone ports, landing stations, aircraft and control software for autonomous aerial logistics. Its VQ1600 supports short- and medium-range flight with a 15-pound payload, while the company's drone ports align aircraft, lock access and use internal robotics to transfer packages between drones and secure compartments.
The system links aircraft, station hardware, cloud software and customer workflows for medical deliveries, emergency response, military logistics, maritime, mining and forestry operations. AC-powered stations can operate with low idle energy and optional backup or solar power for distributed sites.
