Born in the mountains. Built for the mountains.
Our founder stood at the base of an alpine valley and watched a helicopter turn back, grounded by fog. A ground team walked for four hours to reach a victim who could have been saved in twenty minutes. That night, a simple question was asked: "Why isn't there a drone that can fly here?"
Existing drones were too loud, relied on GPS that fails in deep valleys, and couldn't coordinate as a team. So we built one that could.
To protect lives and preserve nature by building the world's most advanced silent autonomous systems for extreme environments.
A world where no one is unreachable, no emergency is unsurvivable, and no corner of the planet is beyond the reach of compassionate technology.
Hathor is the ancient Egyptian goddess of the sky, protection, and motherhood — depicted with wings that sheltered the vulnerable, watching over the world from above. An unexpected name for a Swiss company. But so is a drone that flies through fog without GPS. We embrace both.
From a fogged-in valley to a certified platform.
2024
Hathor founded. Concept design and system architecture completed.
Founded after a real mountain-rescue mission a helicopter couldn't reach in time. Core team assembled around autonomy, aerospace, and alpine operations; first architecture reviews completed for a silent, GPS-denied drone family.
2025
Partnerships signed with leading Swiss research institutes. First prototype begins. Pilot talks with a Swiss cantonal fire service, an alpine rescue organization, and a Swiss infrastructure operator.
Consortium research partnerships formalized around acoustic propulsion and autonomous navigation. Owl and Bee prototypes enter bench and indoor flight testing. Early conversations begin with cantonal and infrastructure operators to shape real mission requirements.
2026
Outdoor BVLOS test flights begin. Swarm coordination demonstrated with 5 Owl platforms. First Bee light-show pilot.
First outdoor beyond-visual-line-of-sight trials in alpine terrain. Multi-agent swarm coordination validated across five Owl units. Bee debuts publicly as a silent light-show alternative to fireworks. FOCA pre-application submitted.
2027
FOCA certification achieved. First commercial fleet sale to a Swiss canton. Alpin System launched to Europe.
Full FOCA certification for BVLOS operations. First fleet contract signed with a Swiss canton, alongside expanding light-show and inspection service agreements. European expansion begins with target markets in Austria, France, and Italy.

Every decision starts with one question.
"Does this save lives or reduce suffering?" If yes, we build it. If not, we don't.
Swiss Precision
The highest standards of quality, reliability, and safety. We engineer for the extreme.
Silent Strength
True power doesn't need to be loud. Quiet, efficient, undisruptive.
Humanity First
We exist to serve people, not markets.
Environmental Stewardship
Zero emissions. Minimal noise. Maximum respect for nature.
Innovation Without Compromise
Responsible, transparent, accountable. Never at the cost of safety or ethics.
From pilot program to fleet — a proven path.
We work with cantonal agencies, utilities, and rescue organizations through a structured three-phase rollout — never a one-off pitch.
