Orb turns autonomous aircraft into decentralized infrastructure. It is building the "world's humanitarian air force," aircraft that become infrastructure in places where they've never existed or where they've been destroyed due to natural disasters and conflict. Orb is at the intersection between manned and unmanned aviation, building systems capable of serving 80% of the world currently unreached by general aviation. The company is leveraging the industrial might of the Midwest to manufacture its first platform, called "LASSie." The platform is designed to counter unmanned aerial vehicle and communication infrastructure within the DoD, humanitarian aid, and disaster relief. Orb's vision culminates in the 3,000-pound "Nomad," the first trans-Pacific capable, infrastructure-independent aircraft designed to reach every village on the planet using only diesel fuel.
