Yesterday’s Nightmare.
Today’s Threat.

Small drones have changed the threat. Parallax builds drone awareness tools and hands-on training systems. Explore Arena, where moving aircraft turn recognition and tracking into repeatable practice.

Parallax Solutions provides FPV drone training, supervised demonstrations, UAS design and prototyping, and drone detection evaluations. Based in Dayton, Ohio, we work with customers across the United States and Canada. Explore our services.

Parallax Arena core development is complete. A limited number of kit preorders will open in Q2 2027 for venues and operators buying into the first rollout. Explore Arena.

02 — What Arena Is

A drone game you can stage, score, and review.

Arena turns small FPV drones into moving game targets. Players follow an objective while LEDs show target state and scoring records the result. Staff supervise the round and reset the system.

Wireless-based scoring provides feedback without firing objects at drones. The same round format supports venue games, STEM activities and team familiarization.

Physical Space

Nets or defined boundaries, obstacles, targets, lights, and operator stations.

Play, review and reset

Fly a round, see the score, reset, and try again.
