Our Vision
To see the Earth is not flat one must rise above the horizon.
Our Mission
Critical services when and where needed globally for a safer world.
Our Technology
INSPIRED BY ROCKET SCIENCE
Drawing on experience in aerospace and defence, Ascent Systems Technologies created an autonomous platform which gives the autonomy its true meaning by removing the need for recharging or refueling. The Autonomous Multipurpose Energy System (AMES) integrates several clean energy generation and energy storage components in an uninterrupted energy source. This energy independence and inherent modular design of the platform enable creating systems with extended capabilities. The Autonomous Environment Monitoring and Supervision (AEMS) is one of such systems. Equipped with an array of sensors and cameras, and controlled by advanced machine learning and predicitve modeling software run by the onboard computer, AEMS is a "terrrestrial robot". It can be utilized in different scenarios – from backup power and communication for remote and island communities to automatic weather monitoring, providing security services, supporting military or disaster recovery operations, hosting unmanned vehicles with charging, launching and retrieval capabilities, among others. Designed as a self-contained module, like a spacecraft, AEMS can automatically deploy and retract itself, adapt to changing external conditions, and reliably operate in a fully autonomous mode, providing critical services at any location of the world, and in any environment.
