Georgia Tech Startup Develops Defense Technology to Counter Emerging Drone Threats

When Robbie van Zyl first started working with drones, it was not for defense. It started with curiosity. As a high school student, van Zyl spent summers in a Georgia Tech aerospace lab, where he was introduced to rotorcraft and autonomous systems. By the time he enrolled at Georgia Tech, that early exposure had grown into a deeper interest. He became a competitive drone racer, gaining hands-on experience with the technology. But even then, he recognized a growing risk.
