The catalog doesn't have what you need. Off-the-shelf doesn't cut it. Let's go from concept to hardware in weeks not years then refine around your feedback until we get it right.
Irregular requirements don't fit catalogs. Acquisition timelines aren't fast enough. We exist for operators and technical staff who need highly specific, reconfigurable platforms developed at the pace of operations — and a partner who stays engaged through fielding.
The requirement changed.
The timeline didn't.
That's the environment we're designed for.
Engineered around your exact payload, environment, insertion profile, and signature constraints. No compromises from a commercial product line.
Weeks from brief to hardware. We compress the concept-to-prototype loop so operators evaluate real performance, not slides.
Modular architectures and open interfaces let your platform evolve with the mission set. Swap payloads, update autonomy, change form factor — without starting over.
Operator feedback shapes every design gate. The people using the platform drive it throughout development — not after the fact.
Direct engineer access · Zero procurement drag · NDA-ready from day one · Cleared personnel available
Brief UsEnd-to-end prototype engineering — from napkin sketch to test-ready hardware — with an integrated team of mechanical, electrical, and software engineers.
Requirements analysis, system architecture, trade studies, and preliminary design reviews. We turn mission needs into buildable specifications fast.
Airframes, hulls, and ground vehicle structures. CAD, FEA, rapid prototyping, composite fabrication, and precision machining all under one roof.
Custom PCB design, sensor integration, power systems, RF/comms, and embedded firmware developed to MIL-SPEC tolerances.
Flight control, path planning, computer vision, sensor fusion, and GCS development. Tested on open and proprietary stacks.
Payload integration, interface control, subsystem verification, and full system testing in operationally representative environments.
Formal test planning, data collection, post-mission analysis, and iterative refinement. We don't hand off — we prove performance.
Government and commercial customers united by a need for speed, specificity, and a partner who actually delivers.
We support DoD programs, national laboratories, and federal agencies requiring rapid prototype development under FAR/DFARS-compliant contracting. CAGE registered and NDA-ready from day one.
From early-stage startups to established primes, we serve commercial customers who need fast, credible prototype hardware to win contracts, close investment rounds, or prove out novel technology.
Speed and rigor are not opposites. Our process delivers first hardware fast — then iterates to spec. Every phase ends with a customer touchpoint before we move forward.
A structured requirements workshop to capture mission context, interface constraints, budget, and schedule. We design to your operational reality, not a generic spec template.
Preliminary design, trade studies, and a critical design review before fabrication begins. You review and approve — no surprises when hardware arrives.
In-house fabrication, sourcing, assembly, and subsystem integration. Weekly build updates with photos and logs shared directly with your team.
Ground and flight test, data packages, and operator handoff. We can embed on-site for initial fielding — and stay on retainer for the next design iteration.
Badger Robotics designs and builds across all unmanned platform classes — integrating mechanical, electronics, and autonomy into cohesive systems optimized for the operational environment, not the lab.
