Pricing
What FlightCore and MarineCore cost, and how programs license them.
Both platforms are licensed the way mission-critical aerospace and maritime software actually gets bought: a bounded pilot to validate the physics and safety logic against your program, then a production license sized to your fleet.
Two products, one safety discipline.
Each is priced independently. Programs running both vehicle types typically license both under one bundled agreement — ask sales for bundle terms.
Digital engineering and safety-layer software for hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft: propulsion-transition logic, ATC-clearance-gated altitude changes, sensor-guided off-runway landing, and a 20-plus-test automated regression suite that keeps the physics honest as the aircraft design changes.
Originally built for the KAI X1, a hybrid-electric twin-turbofan VTOL concept — propulsion models are swappable across turbofan, turboshaft, and all-electric configurations.
Navigation, power management, and mission-command software for autonomous underwater vehicles: bathymetry-clamped depth control, layered battery-return-to-base thresholds, and a live operator console with full autonomy decision logging.
Originally built for the MANTA X1, an autonomous deep-sea vehicle — a 150kWh oil-compensated lithium-ion power system with a 6kW solar array, and four passive-sensing-only ISR/defense payload modules.
Built for operators who can’t afford to get it wrong.
The same three principles run through every tier below.
Reliability first
Software built to be trusted during the moments that matter most.
Built with operators
Designed alongside the people who will actually use it in the field.
Grounded in Texas aerospace
Proudly building within a growing Texas aerospace and space industry ecosystem.
Pricing, per product.
Three tiers, applied separately to FlightCore or MarineCore. Every tier is annual-commitment, invoiced monthly or annually.
- 1 vehicle / airframe, sandboxed
- KAI-hosted evaluation environment
- Read-only safety & regression report
- Email support, 2 business days
- Direct or SBIR Phase I–II
- Cloud deployment, your account or ours
- Live, full safety & regression test suite
- Priority support, next business day
- Direct or Other Transaction Agreement
- Unlimited vehicles within contract
- Cloud or on-prem, accredited enclave available
- Live suite plus custom test coverage
- Dedicated engineering liaison
- OTA, IDIQ, or prime subcontract
Figures shown are starting points for planning purposes, not a binding quote. Government and prime-contractor terms are negotiated against the specific contract vehicle (SBIR, OTA, IDIQ, or subcontract) and may differ from list price.
Not sure which tier fits your program?
Tell us the vehicle count, mission profile, and target contract vehicle — we’ll size a quote against that, not a generic list price.
