Our Partners

Korea Robot Manufacturing (KRM) delivers the propulsion architecture behind the Elements Motors line. Specializing in high-performance BLDC motors and precision electronic speed controllers (ESCs), KRM ensures defense-grade reliability backed by a fully traceable supply chain. The portfolio spans three distinct size classes:

• Stratus (Large)
• Atlas (Medium)
• Pulse (Small)
• ESCs

This hardware ecosystem includes the BL8950, BL4416, BL4229, and BL2819 motors, alongside All-in-One (AIO) and single-channel ESC systems. Because ESC control algorithms directly dictate flight stability, KRM’s systems are purpose-built to clear the stringent cybersecurity and performance benchmarks required by the U.S. military.

This partnership represents a deep strategic alignment: KRM is a Series B investor in Hoverfly and our exclusive manufacturing partner for core propulsion components. At launch, these systems satisfy Phase 2 of the Pentagon’s Drone Dominance Program (DDP) Supply Chain Framework, with an active on-shoring roadmap targeting Phase 3 and 4 domestic production standards. Allied-sourced today, American-manufactured tomorrow.

In modern conflict zones, positioning architecture is a critical vulnerability. Signal jamming and spoofing can quickly compromise an airborne platform. By partnering with Septentrio—a Hexagon company—Elements eliminates this vulnerability.

Our high-integrity GPS modules leverage Septentrio's industry-leading chipsets to deliver multi-band, multi-constellation GNSS performance with integrated, resilient anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities. This is a deeply integrated field partnership: we utilize Septentrio’s mosaic-X5 receiver—featuring AIM+ interference mitigation and OSNMA spoofing authentication—within our tethered platforms, yielding a measurable increase in operational uptime under GNSS-contested conditions.

To guarantee long-term operational readiness, these modules are engineered for full NCC receiver and firmware auditability ahead of the February 2027 DDP Supply Chain Framework deadline. Validated through the DoD’s Blue UAS verification process, our positioning systems offer proven, uncompromised compliance with strict NDAA security standards.
