Technology Platform

Three validated systems.
One methodology.

Plitzie's approach is consistent across every platform: start with a real operator problem, build fast, validate in the field. The result is proven IP with clear commercial pathways.

Kinetic Counter-UAS
Purpose-built munitions that defeat FPV and quadcopter drones at TRL 7. Safe for critical infrastructure. No new platform required — fires from existing equipment.
Validated · Active DoD Testing · Funded
Autonomous Robotic Inspection
Biomimetic pipe crawlers with AI-driven defect detection. Operates in submerged, turbid, contested environments. Autonomous navigation, in-situ analytics, zero excavation.
Active deployment · SOCOM Variant · Industry Deployed
Computer Vision & Depth Sensing
Spatial rendering and depth-perception overlays for constrained environments. Built iteratively with end-users. Retrofit-ready for existing platforms — no hardware replacement.
Field delivered to active operators
The Team

Built by engineers.
Validated by operators.

AT
Dr. Amul Tevar, MPH PhD
Director of Engineering · Co-Founder
Engineer, epidemiologist, and systems builder with deep experience spanning defense technology, public health infrastructure, and AI-enabled sensing. Led Plitzie from concept through active DoD collaboration — including SOCOM, EOD squad partnerships, and USAF maintenance programs. Brings a unique cross-disciplinary lens to hard engineering problems: rigorous on the science, fast on the build.

Market Opportunity

The problems are real.
The market is now.

01
Corrections & Critical Infrastructure
273 drone contraband incidents in South Carolina alone in 2025. NDAA FY2026 just authorized kinetic C-UAS deployment by corrections and infrastructure operators. The regulatory door opened — the market is ready.
02
International Security
Middle East, Europe, and Asia-Pacific governments are actively procuring kinetic C-UAS systems today. 100% domestic US supply chain satisfies ITAR-compliant allied procurement requirements.
03
Industrial Inspection
Oil & gas, water utilities, and municipal infrastructure represent a multi-billion dollar inspection market. Robotic platform eliminates excavation costs and human risk in confined space entry.
04
AI-Enabled Security Systems
Real-time computer vision and sensor fusion for perimeter security, threat detection, and autonomous response — applicable across airports, ports, data centers, and energy infrastructure.

IP & Partnership Structure
Plitzie owns all core IP across three validated technology platforms. We are available for strategic partnerships, licensing agreements, and investment to accelerate commercial deployment. 100% domestic supply chain. Small business status. State of Ohio grant recipient.
Field Validated

Not a pitch deck.
Deployed hardware.

Every Plitzie platform has been built in direct collaboration with end users and tested in real environments. That de-risks partnership and accelerates time to commercial deployment.

Counter-UAS · LLKD
TRL 7 Kinetic System
Polymer and tungsten-polymer projectiles. Ultra-wide pattern, infrastructure-safe, non-toxic. Fires from fielded equipment — zero integration cost for end users.
NDAA FY2026 authorized for corrections & critical infrastructure
Robotics · Inspection
Active SOCOM Collaboration
Biomimetic crawlers operating in submerged, turbid, and oily pipe systems. Autonomous navigation, AI-driven defect detection. Sensor payload variants in active adaptation for SOCOM field use.
Commercial pathway: oil & gas, water utilities, municipalities
Computer Vision · EOD
Delivered to Active Operators
Depth-perception sensor package built iteratively with active EOD squads. Retrofit delivered to end users. Patent application filed June 2023. Underlying CV/spatial rendering IP is platform-agnostic.
Applicable to robotics, autonomous vehicles, perimeter security
Partnership

What we bring
to the table.

01
A foundation for rapid prototyping — We've fielded TRL 7 counter-UAS, autonomous robotics, and computer vision / depth sensing in months, not years.
02
100% domestic supply chain — ITAR-compliant, small business certified
03
Established operator relationships — SOCOM, active EOD squads, USAF maintenance. Real end-user feedback built into every platform
04
Rapid development methodology — weekly prototyping cycles, concept-to-field in weeks. Plitzie accelerates your development timeline, not slows it
05
Flexible partnership structures — licensing, joint venture, strategic investment, or acquisition. We're looking for the right fit, not the biggest check
