Terra Drone Corporation (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Toru Tokushige, hereinafter "Terra Drone") announces that it has signed a distributorship agreement for "Terra Xross 1" with Maverick Drone Systems (hereinafter "Maverick"), an unmanned system integrator based in Minnesota with strengths in field implementation and on-site response in industrial and public safety sectors. Through this partnership, Terra Drone and Maverick will accelerate the expansion of introductions and on-site implementation of "Terra Xross 1" in the US market.
About "Terra Xross 1": Achieving both high performance and ease of introduction
"Terra Xross 1" is a drone designed to innovate inspections in indoor and confined spaces. In such harsh environments, drone inspections not only enhance safety by keeping workers out of hazardous areas but also significantly improve operational efficiency and cost performance compared to traditional manual inspection methods.
By equipping the "Terra Xross 1" with both LiDAR and visual sensors, Terra Drone has achieved stable indoor flight performance. It also features significantly lower introduction costs compared to conventional solutions. By lowering operational hurdles, Terra Drone supports various industries in scaling their robotics-based inspection programs more efficiently.
The system is developed based on continuous feedback from industrial operators and a track record of actual field deployments, focusing on improving reliability, ease of use, and performance in demanding inspection environments.

Partnership with a US Industry Leader
Maverick is a leading company that provides advanced unmanned systems for operations in the public safety, infrastructure, and enterprise sectors across the United States. The company has a proven track record in drone sales since 2016 and has accumulated extensive experience in public safety, critical infrastructure, and specialized sensor integration. To date, they have provided solutions to law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and large-scale industrial enterprises, possessing deep knowledge in the utilities, construction, and emergency response sectors.
Moving forward, Terra Drone and Maverick will promote the practical introduction and expansion of on-site utilization of "Terra Xross 1". The "Terra Xross 1" is transforming the indoor inspection industry by making drone technology accessible to a broader customer base that had previously hesitated to adopt it due to concerns over unstable flight performance or high prices.
Under this agreement, Terra Drone and Maverick will provide more comprehensive and accessible customer support.
Additionally, this partnership will begin with initial deployment projects at industrial sites, assisting customers in transitioning from traditional or unreliable inspection methods to more stable and efficient workflows.
Strategic Background: US Market Needs and Maverick's Role
The US is one of the most mature drone markets globally, characterized by a rapid shift towards implementing technology for critical missions. In the public safety sector, there is an urgent demand for robust and reliable platforms capable of flying in complex environments to protect human lives.
At the same time, in the US energy and infrastructure sectors, which encompass vast power grids, oil and gas pipelines, and aging transportation infrastructure, there is a need for high-precision data acquisition utilizing LiDAR, thermal imaging, and methane detection to ensure safety and regulatory compliance.
Against this backdrop, the need for highly versatile platforms like "Terra Xross 1" is immense in environments where human inspection and intervention involve high risks, such as confined spaces within industrial facilities, undersides of bridges, and hazardous disaster sites.
Maverick Drone Systems' strength lies not just in providing hardware, but in its "turnkey" approach offering comprehensive integration proposals, including specialized payloads like magnetometers and photogrammetry. Furthermore, their team can provide comprehensive training and ongoing operational support, enabling various US organizations to scale their drone programs effectively.
By combining Terra Drone's advanced hardware with Maverick's deep technical expertise and nationwide service network, this partnership will strongly accelerate business expansion in North America.
