We at ParaUAS are a small company with one big goal:
To help bring the future of drone technology to the average person.
Throughout history we can see that the cost of new technologies, that can improve nearly every element of the job they do, is always a limiting factor.
The Ford Model-T, the first light bulb, or even the first rifle.
What do these technologies have in common?
These technologies created a massive shift in the ability to do great things by the few who could afford them, and upon becoming more commonplace have revolutionized the world we live in.
Drones have the ability to do this again, and we have seen it occurring at ever growing rates.
The thing that keeps many people from pursuing a career in drones and aviation comes down to the cost. Modern commercially allowed drones can easily run from $20,000 to $50,000 dollars. Even police and fire rescue can't afford these types of tools, yet can't use their alternatives either like helicopters either due to cost again, or availability, or even as simple as where they live not being populated enough to merit one.
The goal of ParaUAS is to create a low-cost and high performance drone platform suitable for everything from Search and Rescue, Agricultural/Architectural Surveying, or even just a low-cost fully-featured professional aircraft for the common consumer.
We were selected for the Oregon Innovation Challenge in 2026
