About

Censys Technologies Corporation designs and manufactures long-range fixed-wing VTOL unmanned aircraft for beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) commercial and government operations. Its Sentaero platform is paired with the company's CensWise AI/ML software, which processes the imagery and sensor data collected in flight into inspection findings. Aircraft are built in the United States with NDAA-compliant, US-sourced critical components. The company was founded in 2017 by Embry-Riddle alumni and is based in Daytona Beach, Florida; in 2025 it flew a public BVLOS demonstration mission from Daytona Beach to Mims, Florida on the Sentaero 6.

Pairs an American-made, NDAA-compliant long-range VTOL aircraft flying 80+ miles per sortie with its own analysis software and regulatory-waiver support, so customers get an end-to-end BVLOS inspection workflow rather than an airframe they must separately certify and integrate.
