Power at the
Speed of Light
From a world-record 500W drone demonstration to a gigawatt-scale global energy network. Hover to explore each milestone.
24-Hour Autonomous Beam-Powered Operation
Powered a robot for 24 hours on beam alone — no battery. First time in history.
Autonomous robot ran on beam power alone for a full 24-hour cycle — zero battery backup. Witnessed live by DIU, SpaceWERX, DSTA Singapore, and ST Engineering. The first demonstration of its kind globally.
TRL6 — 500W Delivered to a Drone in Flight
5× more power to a moving target than anyone on the planet. Previous record: 100W.
Achieved Technology Readiness Level 6 with a live flight demonstration at 300m range. Sub-millimetre predictive beam tracking — like noise-cancelling headphones for beam stabilisation.
27 Consecutive Days of Outdoor Testing
Full-system field testing over nearly a month — proving this is deployable hardware, not a lab experiment.
Full-system outdoor testing completed across 27 consecutive days in real environmental conditions. Australia-based with 1-day outdoor test turnaround — 30–50× faster iteration than US competitors behind 30–60 day regulatory approval cycles.
Standards & IP Moat
Only company on the IEC 60825 laser safety committee. 3 patents filed. Defining rules competitors must follow.
Sole company globally on the IEC 60825 free-space laser design committee. 3 patents covering safety architecture and compliance. Encrypted embedded firmware for beam-tracking algorithms. Not ITAR — can export to US, NATO, EU, Five Eyes, and allied partners simultaneously. One product meets IEC 60825, 21 CFR 1040, and AS/NZS 2211.1.
1kW Over 1km — Drones & Ground Robots
Defence beachhead. 90° receiver unlocks infinite flight for quadcopters. Platform agnostic. Bolt-on install in under a day.
Hemisphere receiver with 90° acceptance angle gives quadcopters fixed-wing endurance. Entirely platform agnostic: quadcopters, fixed-wing, ground robots, satellites. Receiver installed in the field by an untrained engineer in under a day — bolt-on, not a redesign. Transmitter is two-person portable: mounts on a trailer, ship, or forward operating base. Profitable from unit one.
Scoped Engineering — No Invention Required
Tracking speed → 30 m/s, receiver weight → 3.3kg. Both on 6-month pathways.
Two remaining engineering milestones — tracking speed from walking pace to 30 m/s, and receiver weight from 9kg test unit to 3.3kg product unit. Both scoped on 6-month pathways. OEM integration discussions active with Textron, Aeronautics, PDW, and ST Engineering.
1kW Over 160km — Ground-to-LEO
Same transmitter architecture at higher power. 15–80× the W/kg of space solar panels.
Attach a 20-inch diameter receiver to an existing satellite at 15–80× the W/kg power density of space solar. No km² of orbital solar arrays, no $20B+ launch costs. Invited by the SpaceWERX Deputy Director to participate in the defence satellite powering programme.
Cross-Geography Energy Relay
First product to move energy across geography via high-altitude relay platforms.
Using high-altitude platforms or satellites as relay nodes, Helios is the first product that moves energy across geography — laying the infrastructure for a true global wireless energy distribution network.
1GW+ Global Wireless Energy Network
Grid-scale transmission. International energy arbitrage. $0/kWh curtailed energy moved at lightspeed.
By 2030, data centres will consume more energy than Japan and over $100B of energy will be curtailed by renewable generators. Indra turns that waste into the world's cheapest distributed power — moving $0/kWh curtailed energy around the planet at the speed of light.
