First Breach Completes First Autonomous Flight of Proprietary Drone Prototype

First Breach Inc. announced its proprietary drone prototype completed its first fully autonomous flight from takeoff to landing without manual pilot input.
The mission was executed using Betaflight firmware, validating the full autonomy loop of guidance, navigation, & control.
The company is currently porting its flight stack from Betaflight to PX4 to support complex mission profiles & payload behaviors.
Prototype specifications include a four-rotor Class 1 platform weighing 2.2 kg with a 500 g payload capacity.
The platform demonstrates a range of 2 km, 10 minutes of endurance, a cruise speed of 50 km/h, & a maximum speed of 120 km/h.
Initial prototypes are targeted for completion in Q4 2026, with scaled production planned for Q2 2027.
Targeted production capacity aims for more than 2,500 drones per week once manufacturing operations expand.
First Breach is collaborating with Hellbender, Inc. under a strategic agreement to advance mission capabilities & prepare the platform for volume manufacturing in the U.S.
