USA-Made · NDAA-Compliant Drones
Revolutionizing Compact and Open Design
NEXUS is built for the toughest enterprise and industrial missions. An NDAA-compliant, rugged handheld ground control station with a bright, sunlight-readable screen, IP55 durability, hot-swappable batteries, and a Qualcomm QCS6490 processor running Android 14 — fully compatible with every Harris Aerial Carrier drone.
A 2000-NIT 7-inch 1080P capacitive touchscreen built for the way operators actually fly — in direct sun, with gloves on, with a sunshade clipped on when conditions demand it.
Telemetry, video stream, and mission planning stay legible at noon in the field — no shading the screen, no squinting.
Full-HD resolution with glove-friendly capacitive touch — designed for use with tactical gloves on, no stylus required.
An integrated sunshade clips on for the brightest conditions — turning the NEXUS into a hooded display when the sun won't cooperate.
Dual joysticks, dedicated photo, video, gimbal and camera controls, programmable custom buttons, mission-critical switches — every input on the NEXUS is engineered for hands-on, high-tempo operations.
Left and right joysticks plus a 5-way directional button for menu and camera navigation — the full control surface of a fully-featured GCS in a handheld form.
Map any button to any mission function — assign your most-used commands to muscle memory, no matter which airframe you're flying.
Photo capture, video record, gimbal yaw and pitch, camera zoom, return-to-home, back, emergency stop, aircraft authority, and a 3-position flight-mode switch — every input where you need it.
A removable 10,400 mAh lithium LiPo pack delivers up to 5 hours of operation, while an internal backup battery keeps the controller alive during swaps — change packs without ever powering down.
A single removable lithium LiPo battery pack supports up to 5 hours of continuous operation in the field.
Up to five hours of operation on a single charge — carry a spare pack and your operator's day is the only limit.
An internal backup battery allows roughly 3 minutes of continued operation — enabling battery swaps without powering down the controller.
A 2.4 GHz NDAA-compliant radio for the airframe, every modern network protocol for the operator, and every legacy I/O port the field still needs — the NEXUS speaks every language a modern mission requires.
Every component selected for tactical reliability and field-deployable performance — from the QCS6490 SoC and Android 14 stack to the IP55 chassis and the NDAA-compliant radio.
