Hylio builds American-made, NDAA-compliant platforms engineered for enterprise safety, coordinated multi-aircraft operations, and audit-ready chemical tracking. Shadow Vet Drone Ops — a veteran-led SDVOSB — uses Hylio equipment to deliver traceable mission data and domestic support to our clients.

Ares — Hylio Agricultural Platform

Ares is Hylio’s purpose-built agricultural airframe for commercial missions. It pairs rugged, field-ready hardware with advanced mission controls so operators can spray, seed, and scout precisely and repeatedly across acreage.

American-made and NDAA-compliant
Swarm-capable for coordinated, large-scale work
Engineered for precision variable-rate spraying
Redundant safety systems, enterprise telemetry, and FPV/obstacle sensing

AgroSol GCS — Ground Link & Chemical Tracking

AgroSol GCS (Hylio’s ground-link control software) pairs with the Hylio GroundLink controller and Smart Tank telemetry to give real-time metering, low-error chemical usage tracking, and audit-ready reporting — so every mission’s material flow and telemetry are recorded for operational and regulatory confidence.

Real-time chemical usage & telemetry — live flow, tank/weight, and runtime data for each mission
Low-error metering & calibration — tools for precise metering, calibration and variable-rate application
Smart Tank integration — automatic material monitoring and fail-safe alerts
Audit-ready records — exportable reports showing material flow, rates, and GPS-tagged telemetry for traceability
Secure GroundLink transfer — encrypted, robust communications between aircraft and operator station

Vendor materials indicate the GroundLink + AgroSol package typically includes the GroundLink controller and an AgroSol license (vendor documents reference lifetime/standard licensing and Smart Tank telemetry). These components are the mechanism by which Hylio achieves low-error tracking and auditability.

HYLIO — NDAA compliance

Hylio states: “HYLIO UAS: FULL NDAA COMPLIANCE — All of Hylio's products are fully NDAA compliant, meaning they do NOT use any covered telecommunications equipment or services... For clarity, none of the critical components in Hylio’s UAS are manufactured in the People's Republic of China...”
