Persistent Airborne Payload Hosting & Technology Demonstration

Vauxminster Aeronautics is developing a new generation of persistent aerial platforms that can host communications, sensing, monitoring and experimental payloads for extended-duration airborne operation.

Our patented vacuum-buoyancy technology is designed to provide passive lift without helium or hydrogen. Combined with solar-electric power, propulsion and energy storage, this creates the potential for highly persistent platforms with substantial onboard power available for customer payloads.

We are interested in working with organisations developing technologies that could benefit from integration, airborne testing or demonstration on a persistent platform These could include 5G/6G and NTN communications equipment, RF systems, environmental sensors, Earth observation technologies, maritime surveillance systems, defence and security payloads, autonomous systems and near-space technologies.

As the Vauxminster development programme progresses through subsystem testing and flight demonstration, we intend to provide opportunities for partners to integrate their technologies into demonstrator platforms and participate in joint trials.

For Singapore organisations, this creates an opportunity not only to contribute to the development of the aircraft, but also to use the platform to demonstrate their own technologies and services.

Potential collaborations could include payload integration, communications trials, sensing demonstrations, maritime monitoring, resilient communications, technology qualification and joint customer demonstrations.
