🍻Prost to everyone who came out to the Dronecode + Auterion meetup at Schweizerhaus during ICRA 2026. Researchers, developers, and industry all at one table. This is what the Dronecode Foundation community looks like. Thanks to Auterion for sponsoring, and to everyone who traveled in. #icra2026

DeltaQuad has joined the Dronecode Foundation as a Platinum Member, and here’s why that matters. Dronecode is the open-source foundation behind PX4, the flight software at the core of professional drone development worldwide. We’ve built on PX4 from day one. DeltaQuad designs and manufactures fixed-wing VTOL drones for military, government and border security operations, platforms built for long endurance, real payload capacity and operations where failure isn’t an option. Open standards are central to that. They’re what allow systems to be trusted, extended and operated alongside others in the field. Ten years of building on this foundation. Becoming a Platinum Member is our way of giving back and investing in what comes next, including MAVLink Military and the push for true interoperability in unmanned systems. Read the full story.
