We enhance Helicopter Safety

In 2014, a helicopter collided with an undetected wire — in clear conditions, and two persons were killed . That sparked a mission for us. It led to the founding of Kleon Solutions, and the beginning of our mission: To develop a real-time wire detection system that reveals what maps, manuals, and eyes often miss.

Since that day, we’ve been building tools that give helicopter crews a new layer of safety — wherever they fly.
