LlamaWorks – Rapid Innovation for Tomorrow's Missions
American built. Mission ready.
What is ATLAS?
Our Autonomous Tethered Long-endurance Aerial System (ATLAS) is a modular, scalable, multi-functional tower-in-a-box that transforms how autonomous operations are deployed and sustained.
Customizable Autonomous ISR Assistant
Engineered for simple integration and sophisticated operation, ATLAS deploys in moments, performs for hours, and scales to meet mission demands. It’s not just a tool—it’s a teammate.
Why ATLAS?
Agile, Autonomous, Assisting
ATLAS provides persistent, high-endurance aerial support that adapts to multiple mission sets.
Elegantly Engineered, Trusted to Perform
Designed with mission assurance in mind, ATLAS pairs ruggedized reliability with refined usability.
Humans are More Important Than Hardware
We design systems to empower operators—not replace them. ATLAS is intuitive, low-burden, and built for the field.
It's not just a tool, it's a teammate.
An Autonomous Sentry
The LlamaWorks Edge
LlamaWorks is Mission Driven Research’s rapid-prototyping lab—where bold ideas become field-ready systems. Our small teams push the boundaries of autonomy, modular design, and nationally-critical engineering.
We believe in rapid innovation, sophisticated solutions, and delivering trusted systems to the operators who need them most.
Let's Build the Future Together
Whether your mission is ISR, disaster response, or border security, ATLAS adapts to your environment and your needs.
