Built to fly.
Built to fall.
Built to fly again.

High-quality, cost-effective, rapidly prototyped drone platforms spanning consumer FPV racing, commercial aerial imaging, and tactical combat applications — engineered from the ground up to be field-repairable, not disposable.

Team & Heritage

Three people, one
obsession with flight

No department heads, no committees — just the three of us, each carrying a different piece of the problem.

Dutch Okafor
Co-Founder & Build Lead

Started soldering racing quads in a barracks garage while stationed overseas. Logged over 1,200 field repairs before founding Kestrel, and still can't resist rebuilding a customer's frame himself when the queue is slow.

Marisol Vance
Co-Founder & Imaging Director

Trained as a structural surveyor before discovering photogrammetry could do in an afternoon what used to take her crew three weeks with a total station. Now runs every mapping contract personally.

Priya Chandrasekaran
Head of Propulsion & Battery Science

Left a cell-chemistry lab to chase a harder problem: energy density that survives a hard landing. Leading the push into hybrid-electric drivetrains and the solid-state research program.
