Qai Drones

Drones with AI on board.

Qai Drones is Qai Tech's drone division. It works on drones for civil and security uses.

It is being built in three layers. It starts with a drone-parts supply chain inside the UAE, grows into making civil aircraft, and then reaches toward security systems.

It builds two main aircraft. Eqab 1 is a multi-mission drone for civil and emergency work. Shaheen 1 is an autonomous interceptor that brings AI into the air.

See it in action

Spot, follow and intercept, all on board.

How Shaheen 1 is designed to find, follow and intercept a target on its own. It uses a thermal camera at the front, an AI module on board and a self-directed targeting system. Eqab 1, the multi-mission civil drone, is not part of this clip.

Simulation
A simplified simulation of how the system is designed to work. It is not footage: the positions and paths are examples, and each part’s role is simplified.

What we do

  1. 01
    Supply chain

    UAE drone-parts supply

    We are setting up a reliable supply of drone parts inside the Emirates. Everything else is built on it.

  2. 02
    Making aircraft

    Civil aircraft

    We design and make civil drones, led by the multi-mission Eqab 1.

  3. 03
    Security

    Aircraft for security

    We are developing drones for security uses, including the Shaheen 1 interceptor.

Main systems

Shaheen 1

شاهين 1
Security · Autonomous interceptor

An advanced quadcopter interceptor designed to detect, track and engage targets on its own. A forward thermal camera, an onboard AI module and an autonomous targeting system bring real-time intelligence to the aircraft itself.

Eqab 1

عقاب 1
Civil · Multi-mission

A multi-purpose civilian quadcopter built to adapt. A high-resolution camera and a thermal camera share one sensor head. They feed a flexible onboard AI module that can be reprogrammed for each mission: farm monitoring, surveillance of civilian facilities, search and rescue, and emergency medical delivery between hospitals.
