Vision One
North Salt Lake, Utah veteran-owned developer of hybrid VTOL and delivery drones and the NETRION humanoid, a 2026 US Army xTechHumanoid finalist.
Vision One, which trades as Vision One Tech, is a small US developer of autonomous systems headquartered in North Salt Lake, Utah. It describes itself as a US Army veteran-owned business and focuses on unmanned aircraft, ground and humanoid platforms and edge-AI vision for defense, emergency response, logistics and infrastructure work, with particular emphasis on operation in GPS-denied and contested environments.
The aerial line has three platforms. THERMIS is a hybrid VTOL aircraft that takes off vertically and cruises on a fixed wing, intended for long-endurance wildfire intelligence, disaster response and logistics; the company lists thermal and EO/IR payloads, onboard AI for real-time mapping, autonomous routing, GPS-denied navigation and extended-range operation, and calls it the primary platform of its UAS portfolio. QuickDrop is a fixed-wing or hybrid delivery drone built around a patented non-landing delivery mechanism that releases payloads with precision without touching down, aimed at medical supplies, humanitarian aid and tactical resupply. HeavyLift is a heavy-lift multirotor developed for DARPA-style challenges and experimental programs with a target payload-to-weight ratio of about 1:3, positioned as a technology demonstrator for logistics, construction and military resupply.
On the ground side the company is developing NETRION, a modular humanoid platform in two variants. NETRION-M targets defense logistics, maintenance and human-machine teaming, with ruggedized actuators, secure communications and supervised autonomy for bases, depots and forward locations. NETRION-C targets warehouses, manufacturing support, laboratories and assisted workflows. Its humanoid software stack combines a large language model with real-time vision. The company also offers an edge-AI vision capability for real-time perception, camera control and mission planning.
Vision One reports three external recognitions: winner of the NASA Sustainable Business Challenge in 2025, listing as awardable by DARPA, and selection as a finalist in the US Army's 2026 humanoid program. Arpan Bom, its lead software engineer and project manager, has been reported as part of the team in the Baseline Humanoid System category of the US Army xTechHumanoid competition, which drew 103 white papers and advanced ten finalists to live demonstrations at Marine Corps Base Quantico in September 2026; Vision One was not among the five winners announced on 11 September 2026. The published team is small, made up of software and systems engineers including a US Air Force veteran and a US Army reservist. The company publishes no specifications, prices, delivery figures or customer names, and it was openly seeking investors through an investment program in 2026, so its products should be treated as early-stage.
