How can we leverage new technologies outward?
How can we redirect our abundant resources?
And what hurdles are there to climb to meet the people and communities who may need it most?
Frontier
Endurance.
Today’s supply chain continues to optimize inward.
The developed world has grown familiar with Amazon packages arriving on our doorsteps in less than a day. But for secluded regions, this convenience remains unavailable. Valuable resources like aid and medicine can be weeks away. For them, the model falls back on bridging that gap with old fashioned human labor. So the question becomes...

Built for Growth
We usually only consider the initial journey of transporters. What if we extended the return journey to the people?
ODIN allows them to export goods that grow their economy, creating communities that thrive despite their isolation.

Thus, drones become highly specialized, shedding every ounce of excess weight possible.
Package transport drones require an excess in battery density, as their carried load can vary, effecting performance across all metrics.
Battery density trends project increases in overall capacity by 20% every 3 years, forecasting ODIN to be manufacturable by year 2035.
Current drone range and flight duration are limited by battery density.

Research Supplies to the Amazon
Caged in by the densest jungle on the planet, researchers and activists venture through unexplored lands. A place where the only channels in and out are by riverboat. When stranded, they call for ODIN.
Emergency Relief to Everest
Nearly 30,000 ft. above sea level and over a month’s travel from civilization, adventurers face hardships with only the equipment that can be carried by backpack. But what happens when disaster strikes? ODIN responds.
Food and Water to the Sub-Sahara
In the land where temperatures can soar over 117(°F), basic human necessities can become a scarcity
Communities can rely on ODIN for consistent rendezvous. Giving them the resources to thrive.
