Aerial Systems
Drones & Uncrewed Systems
Docked fleets, Drone as First Responder, and inspection programs need more than aircraft. We build the telemetry, video, and evidence infrastructure underneath them.

Technologies
Drones, license plate recognition, cameras, and sensor networks all end at the same place: an enormous stream of data that has to be ingested, stored, governed, and made useful. That is the part Mentat builds.
Where we fit
We do not sell the sensors. We build the platform underneath them.
Agencies and enterprises rarely struggle to procure new technology. They struggle to operate it. The aircraft arrive, the cameras go up, the sensors get mounted, and then the real work starts: making thousands of field devices manageable, moving their output somewhere durable, and being able to answer questions about it years later.
Mentat brings the same automation, security, and platform engineering discipline we apply to cloud infrastructure to these systems. Devices become inventoried assets. Feeds become governed pipelines. Retention and access become policy the platform enforces rather than guidance people are asked to follow.
Capability areas
Technologies we build for
Vehicle Intelligence
License Plate Recognition
Millions of reads a day across mixed vendors. We normalize them, enforce retention and purpose limits in code, and make every query auditable.
Video Systems
Cameras & Video Intelligence
Mixed-vendor camera estates, tiered storage, and analytics that run where they should. Video infrastructure that does not fall over at scale.
Sensor Networks
Acoustic & Sensor Networks
Thousands of field devices, each one a small computer you cannot easily reach. We build the provisioning, telemetry, and tuning layer that keeps them useful.
Fusion & Command
Real-Time Operations Center
The capstone layer. Correlating drone, LPR, camera, and sensor feeds into a single, auditable operating picture instead of six competing consoles.
AI Infrastructure
Edge AI & Computer Vision
The platform layer under every other technology here. Model packaging, staged rollout, drift monitoring, and deterministic guardrails around probabilistic output.
The common layer
Different sensors, same four problems
Whatever the hardware, the engineering underneath converges on the same set of concerns. Solving them once, properly, is what lets a program add its next technology without starting over.
Ingest that survives the peak
Sensor systems fail at the moment they matter most, when everything fires at once. We size ingest for the incident, not the average Tuesday.
Retention as executable policy
Retention schedules, legal holds, and purpose limits written as code the platform enforces, with verifiable evidence that deletion occurred.
Accountability by construction
Attribution, justification, and immutable audit logging built into the data path, so oversight questions have answers that do not require a special project.
Fleet operations, automated
Thousands of field devices provisioned, configured, updated, and monitored from version control, using the same automation discipline as any server fleet.
Planning a technology program?
Get the platform right before the hardware arrives.
We can assess where your current sensor programs stand on ingest, retention, automation, and audit, then map what it takes to run them at the scale you are planning for.
