Autonomous-systems SME seeking to join Horizon Europe Cluster 4 Digital consortia — offering edge-AI perception, autonomous operation & real-world validation

Mavios is a Türkiye-based SME developing autonomous unmanned aerial systems and AI-based software. Our platform enables drones to operate continuously in remote, infrastructure-limited environments — executing landing, charging and redeployment autonomously, without human intervention — and integrates an onboard (edge) AI layer for real-time detection of people and vehicles. The technology is field-validated and advancing to operational maturity (TRL 7) with support from the ECDI programme under the EU Horizon framework.

What we offer: a field-validated autonomous UAV/AI platform; edge-AI perception and autonomy engineering; off-grid, solar-powered drone infrastructure; a platform-agnostic interface (Universal Air Module) for fleet interoperability; real-world use cases (early forest-fire detection, critical-infrastructure monitoring, environmental surveillance, search-and-rescue); and a testing and demonstration environment for autonomous and AI systems, with the agility of an SME for validation and deployment work packages.

What we are looking for: coordinators and consortium partners — research organisations, AI/robotics groups, industrial partners and end-users — preparing HORIZON-CL4-2027-04 and -05 Digital proposals, particularly under the AI, Data & Robotics (ADRA) partnership. We are especially interested in projects where real-time edge-AI perception, autonomous field operation and real-world validation environments add value.
