Security & compliance

Built for sensitive
operations.

Security, transparency, and platform integrity — from hardware architecture to software updates. Every design decision is made with sensitive operational environments in mind.

Certifications & compliance

Built for regulated operations.

Apus 100 is designed for enterprise, public-sector, and critical-infrastructure procurement. We're happy to share documentation under NDA.

NDAA-compliantCompliant

Section 889-compliant — no prohibited components in the airframe or supply chain.

Green-UASIn progress

Pursuing AUVSI Green UAS cybersecurity and supply-chain certification.

U.S. supply chainU.S.-built

Designed, engineered, and assembled in the United States.

FAA / Remote IDBy design

Engineered for compliant U.S. operation, including Remote ID.

EnvironmentalIP55 / IP56

Light-rain operation target; automatic self-land / return-to-home on tether loss.

Authorized distribution

Private security contractor — California

Apus 100 is distributed and deployed in California through a private security contractor operating manned patrols, AI-driven remote guarding, and an FAA-compliant drone program across the state. Partner-led deployments include site assessment, operator staffing, and integration with existing guarding programs.

Origin

U.S.-based design
& development.

Vantanix designs and develops the Apus 100 domestically from the ground up. Working within a single jurisdiction tightens quality control, accelerates iteration cycles, and gives operators full visibility into the supply chain — from airframe to firmware.

There are no black-box components and no foreign sub-assemblies handling security-critical functions. What you deploy is what the engineering team built and tested.

Data & privacy

Data & privacy.

Core flight operations require no cloud connectivity. The Apus 100 runs fully self-contained — no persistent internet connection, no telemetry pipeline, no background data transmissions during standard operation.

Mission data stays with the operator. Video, sensor logs, and position data are not transmitted or shared by default. Operators have full custody of everything the system captures.

Optional connected features are transparent and opt-in. Operators decide if, when, and how data is stored, transferred, or shared — with no implicit collection running in the background.

Operator-controlled. Data ownership remains with the deploying organization. Connected features require explicit opt-in at each use.

Platform security

Software integrity
& updates.

Every software release goes through a documented process before it reaches a deployed system. Operators stay in control of when and how updates are applied.

Firmware updatesCryptographically signed packages; operator-initiated only
Release versioningDocumented changelogs for every build
Critical opsNo forced updates during active deployment
