​Project S1 and Future Projects
PROJECT S1
​The S1 project represents Sirius Innovations’ first major initiative in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) sector. Designed to operate in challenging environments such as the Amazon, the S1 is a multi-mission, 100% electric UAV with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability and optimized for medium-range logistics transportation. Its design aims to meet critical cargo mobility demands in remote regions, where traditional infrastructure — such as roads or ports — is precarious, seasonal or non-existent.
​SCALABILITY AND EFFICIENCY
​The S1 was designed with a focus on scalability and efficiency, and is the centerpiece for the implementation of S-GRID, Brazil’s first autonomous aerial logistics network. This network aims to connect isolated communities, healthcare facilities, operational bases and government agencies, offering a fast, sustainable and predictable alternative to conventional transportation. The first functional prototype was completed in March 2025, and is already being prepared for a series of proof of concept tests with government agencies and strategic institutions.
FUTURE PROJECTS
Sirius plans to expand its product line with new UAV models adapted to different missions: from high-capacity drones for long distances to more compact models aimed at aerial surveillance, disaster response, and support for public safety operations. In addition, the development of command and control solutions, integration with logistics platforms, and on-board intelligence is underway.
SAME PHILOSOPHY
​All Sirius projects follow the same philosophy: solving real problems with cutting-edge technological solutions, designed and manufactured in Brazil, with the potential to be exported to other developing countries with similar logistical challenges.
EMBEDDED TECHNOLOGIES, DIFFERENTIALS, SUSTAINABILITY
​The S1 UAV, developed by Sirius Innovations, incorporates a series of cutting-edge embedded technologies that position it as one of the most advanced air logistics systems under development in Brazil.
​
The main technological components include:
ELECTRICAL AND MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
​100% Electric and Modular Architecture, which allows simplified maintenance, lower operating costs and greater compatibility with renewable energy sources;
​SNAI - INTEGRATED AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Integrated Autonomous Navigation System (SNAI), with onboard sensors, onboard intelligence for obstacle avoidance and real-time adaptation to environmental conditions;
​AERODYNAMIC HYBRID VTOL
​Aerodynamic Hybrid VTOL, which combines the agility of a multirotor with the efficiency of fixed wing flight, ideal for long distances in remote areas without landing infrastructure;

ADVANCED CYBERSECURITY
Secure Real-Time Telemetry, enabling continuous aircraft tracking and ensuring transparency and control in critical operations.
SIRIUS DIFFERENTIALS
Sirius's differential lies not only in its product engineering, but also in the design of a decentralized logistics model, anchored in S-GRID, its future autonomous aerial distribution network. This represents a break with traditional logistics models, enabling deliveries even where the presence of the State or private sector is limited by geographic or cost barriers.
SUSTAINABILITY
From an environmental perspective, the project is aligned with the principles of sustainability. By eliminating dependence on fossil fuels and dispensing with invasive physical infrastructure (such as roads and ports), the S1 offers a low-environmental-impact alternative for transporting cargo in the Amazon. This makes it not only a technological innovation, but also a regenerative solution, capable of generating a positive impact on isolated communities, while respecting the forest and its complexity.
