CAPS is a Paris-based deeptech company developing a European autonomous heavy logistics drone platform for critical 50–200 kg flows.
Built for agriculture, defense and industrial logistics, CAPS targets missions where ground transport is too slow, exposed or constrained.
The company combines a certification-first architecture, dual-use positioning and a staged go-to-market strategy, moving from early direct sales to long-term recurring aerial logistics services.
CAPS is launching a ground and flight testing project to validate the operational use of its heavy logistics drone for agricultural applications.
The project will include progressive ground tests, subsystem validation, safety checks and controlled flight campaigns in representative agricultural environments. The objective is to demonstrate the drone’s ability to operate safely and efficiently for agricultural missions such as transport, spraying or payload deployment in constrained terrain.
This testing phase will support the transition from technical validation to operational demonstration, paving the way for first agricultural use cases, customer pilots and future commercial deployment.
Main application area :
CAPS develops autonomous heavy drones for critical intermediate logistics missions, transporting 50–200 kg payloads where ground transport is slow, exposed or constrained.
Its main application areas are agriculture, defense and industrial logistics, with a focus on short-distance, high-value missions in complex environments.
