Corenova develops an autonomous operation framework aiming to eliminate the need for human management of fleets of any type of unmanned vehicles for critical operations.

The framework enables users to simply mark the location, urgency, and type of operation (e.g. infrared photo, 3D visual scan, etc). The fleet then automatically assesses which vehicles are equipped to perform the action by checking available battery or range. Corenova instantly and constantly optimizes the mission plan for all vehicles in the fleet.
