What Is
Soloma Avionics

One ecosystem. Software + Hardware + AI. All built to intercept threats autonomously.

Software

Soloma AppMission planning with natural-language AI commands

AI Tracking & TargetingComputer vision for detection, acquisition, lock-on and autonomous strike

Soloma AI AnalyticsPost-mission video exploitation with geo-overlays and audit trails

Hardware

Herald VTOLHeavy-lift autonomous VTOL for logistics, ISR, and EW operations. 45 kg payload, 500 km range.

Ballista InterceptorAI-guided high-speed interceptor. Designed to autonomously detect, track and destroy Shahed-type drones — no GPS required, resistant to radio jamming.

Our edge: AI models trained on real combat data. Every Soloma product (VTOL or drone) is designed and manufactured without any components sourced from restricted, sanctioned or high risk countries including China Mainland.

AI Guidance &
Autonomous Interception

In-house AI guidance system for autonomous UAV interception of fast-moving targets

Pre-trained
CV Models

Built on real battlefield and synthetic datasets. Fine-tuned for hostile drone silhouettes including Shahed-type targets.

Full Kill Chain

Autonomous flight → target detection → target acquisition → terminal interception. No pilot input required during engagement.

Day & Night
Models

Separate AI models optimised for daytime and night-time operations. Adapts to changing visibility and lighting automatically.

Dynamic
Pursuit

Guidance system continuously adjusts speed, altitude and angle of attack during pursuit to maximise interception probability.

Soloma App

Tell it what you need in plain English. The AI does the rest.

Just Type What You Need

ChatGPT-style text interface. Describe your mission in plain English — the AI generates an optimised flight plan, selects sensors, and briefs you back. No expert training required.

One Operator, Hundreds of Drones

Task, monitor and coordinate multi-drone operations from a single screen. Human-on-the-loop: you supervise, the drones execute autonomously.

Real-Time AI on Every Drone

On-device object detection (YOLO) and persistent target tracking (DeepSort). Detected targets auto-populate a live 3D map with coordinates and classifications.

Integrated Threat Warnings

EW and RF alerts from connected drone detectors pushed straight to the app. Early warning on incoming threats displayed on the operator's map in real time.

Herald VTOL

Carries 4× Ballista + radar + jammer = airborne air defence unit

Ballista

AI-guided autonomous engagement

Soloma AI

Post-mission analytics, video, geo-overlays

EW Suite

Drone detection, RF alerts, jamming

Herald can deploy as a complete mobile air defence unit — an intelligent mothership carrying up to four Ballista interceptors alongside advanced radar detection and electronic jamming modules.

With a 135 kg MTOW, it has the capacity to launch and coordinate interceptor variants and sensor payloads as a single airborne platform that detects, identifies, intercepts and jams — all coordinated through the Soloma App.
