Parallax provides FPV training, supervised demonstrations, drone design and prototyping, assembly, and detection evaluations. These services are available now. Limited Arena kit preorders open in Q2 2027.
Based in Dayton, Ohio (45424), near the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base aerospace and defense community.
We work across the United States and Canada, with overseas support by arrangement. View service areas.
Learn FPV equipment, aircraft handling, and flight characteristics through hands-on familiarization and supervised demonstrations. We agree on the venue, equipment, and learning objectives before the session.
Our engineering work is based in the United States. We support custom drone builds, component integration, prototypes, small production runs, and inert training replicas.
We develop custom UAS airframes, component layouts, prototypes and build documentation. Our Dayton workshop supports US-based assembly and small-batch prototype manufacturing. Each project includes an agreed plan for evaluating the aircraft and its components.
Custom drone design services cover airframe geometry, CAD, component selection, prototype assembly and US-based build support. Share the intended use, size, payload, timeline and documentation requirements so we can scope the work.
Bring an existing design or a set of components. We can integrate the airframe, electronics and payload, then agree a test plan for fit, function and UAS platform performance.
Inert aircraft replicas for recognition training, plus display models for museums and educational programs.
We work with aerospace and UAV engineers across the globe to develop custom drone systems. From CAD and frame design to component integration, prototype assembly and testing, we help turn an idea into hardware you can evaluate and refine.
Discuss your prototype
We are seeking manufacturing and component partners for U.S.-made UAS and UGV systems, with NDAA compliance as a development goal. The work includes traceable sourcing, component documentation, assembly and a review of the requirements for each intended customer. Read our manufacturing partner announcement.
Looking for drones made in the USA or NDAA-compliant drones? Ask us about the particular configuration, component origins and supporting records for your project. US-based design and assembly alone do not establish finished-product origin or government approval.
For CNC carbon-fiber drone frames and US machining inquiries, send drawings, material requirements and quantities. We will discuss the manufacturing route and available capacity before quoting a drone frame service.
For defense training, Arena can be configured to represent an opposing drone threat in a supervised exercise. Moving targets and scored rounds let participants repeat a scenario and review their observations with the operator.
Choose an equipment briefing, hands-on familiarization or supervised flight session. We adjust the content to your group’s experience and learning goals.
Understand the airframe, camera, controller and video link before moving on to equipment handling or flight.
Inspect the equipment and see how the aircraft behaves during a supervised demonstration.
Arrange supervised aircraft handling and flight observation for your group. Activities depend on participant experience, the site and the available equipment.
A session can combine an equipment briefing, hands-on inspection, supervised flight, and discussion afterward.
Training, engineering and detection evaluations can be booked independently of Arena kit orders.
Learn FPV equipment, flight procedures, and aircraft handling in a supervised session.
Plan a training session →Work with Parallax on airframe design, prototypes, component integration, and build testing.
Discuss a drone build →Evaluate drone detection equipment against the questions that matter at your site.
Plan an evaluation →We ask about your team, location, equipment, objectives, and available time. From those details, we propose the work and agree on the operating requirements.
Training combines supervised equipment use with time for questions and a review of the session.
The initial discussion is free. Describe the work you need so we can establish the scope and prepare a quote.
Quotes reflect the deliverables, equipment, staffing, travel, setup, and documentation your project requires.
Core Arena development is complete. We are inviting a limited number of venues and operators to buy into the first rollout. Kit orders fund final manufacturing, system refinements and deployment.
Send your location, timeline, group size, and the training, engineering, or evaluation work you need.
