Drone Amplified
"Extend your reach. Keep your boots on the ground."
Lincoln, Nebraska maker of the IGNIS aerial drone ignition system for prescribed burns and the FAA-approved MONTIS avalanche-control payload.
Drone Amplified is a drone-payload company headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska, with a second office in Pennsauken, New Jersey. The company grew out of research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln under CEO and co-founder Carrick Detweiler, and its underlying technology is licensed on an exclusive basis from NUTech Ventures, the university's technology-commercialization affiliate.
IGNIS, its original product, is an aerial ignition system that drops precision-timed incendiary spheres from a drone to set prescribed burns, replacing hand-launched devices dropped from helicopters; the line includes the full-scale IGNIS II and compact IGNIS III Mini. The company has applied the same approach to avalanche control with MONTIS, built on an Alta X airframe, which carries up to two 10-pound charges and lets ski patrols detonate them at a set height above, at, or below the snow surface, with mid-flight disarm and a Vio camera (20x zoom, 640x512 thermal) for target location. Other products include D.A. STROBE, a 1,200-watt night-operations lighting payload, and D.A. Flight, its ground-control-station software.
Customers include the National Park Service, the Department of the Interior, The Nature Conservancy, and avalanche-control operators, and the company has received National Science Foundation grant funding.
