In January 2024, Maxwell Maduka and Nathan Nwachukwu started TerraHaptix to dominate the $4B African drone industry.
Four months ago, Terrahaptix shipped the first Kallon Sentry Tower – a solar-powered surveillance system developed by the company – to a customer’s industrial site at Nnewi (Eastern Nigeria).
And the tower has just delivered on its capabilities by intercepting a thief at the Nnewi site, leading to an arrest.
Says Nathan:
Excited to see more crimes thwarted by our drones & sentry towers
The Kallon Sentry Tower is designed for applications in agriculture, Oil & Gas, and security, with the tower utilising Artificial Intelligence to detect, identify, and track potential threats up to 5 kilometres away.
Terrahaptix have been instrumental in advancing automation in emerging markets, recently opening a 15,000-square-foot robotics factory in Abuja, Nigeria, capable of producing 10,000 units annually.
In addition to the Kallon Sentry Tower, Terrahaptix’s product lineup includes:
ArtemisOS: A proprietary, mobile-first open operating system for drones, facilitating seamless integration and control.
Archer Drones: Advanced aerial security and surveillance drones designed for various applications.
Duma UGV: An unmanned ground vehicle for versatile operations in different terrains.
In 2024, the company crossed $2M in drone orders, and has begun exporting untis to five nations: Ghana, DR Congo, South Africa, Kenya, and Côte d’Ivoire.
By 2030, Terrahaptix have a daring production goal of 1 million drones annually and to make Nigeria a global drone supplier.
