🛰 About L10X AeroInnovations
Why L10X
Throughout my career, I’ve applied advanced technologies to solve complex challenges for the Department of Defense and commercial clients — from space systems and crewed aircraft to autonomous platforms and analytics.
That same spirit of innovation is urgently needed in domains vital to human survival—food production, environmental conservation, and national security through counter-UAS solutions.
At L10X, the focus is to build and test tools that help frontline organizations make faster, smarter, more impactful decisions.
Vision
To accelerate innovation that advances humanity through agile, autonomous, and applied solutions at the frontier of aerospace and analytics.

🛸 Core Innovation Areas
Breakthrough drone-based solutions for land intelligence, crop health, and airspace risk.
🌎 Environmental Analysis
Developing tools to better understand and monitor terrain, land use, and vegetation using aerial and satellite data.
- Detect ground disturbance patterns and subtle topographic shifts using high-resolution aerial data.
- Assess vegetation health, type, and moisture content through advanced imagery and custom analytics.
- Develop novel vegetative indices for RGB sensors to expand insights without relying on multispectral payloads.
🛡 Counter-UAS (C-UAS) Threat Characterization
Assessing emerging drone capabilities and informing C-UAS strategy through real-world flight data and modeling.
- Characterize the capabilities of off-the-shelf ISR drone systems in the context of potential C-UAS threats.
- Build high-resolution maps and 3D models of test zones to study potential C-UAS vulnerabilities and risks.
- Apply spatial analytics to define and visualize C-UAS threat vectors, aiding mission planning and test zone design.
