# Nanoveu Secures Exclusive Drone Swarm IP License, Boosts Endurance in Trials

Nanoveu has secured exclusive evaluation rights for four autonomous drone swarm localisation and formation-control inventions from **NTU Singapore**.

The strategic move aims to integrate the IP with its **ECS-DoT** technology, targeting a comprehensive autonomous drone stack, bolstered by live trials demonstrating significant endurance gains.

These pivotal inventions cover **GPS-free** swarm coordination, utilising technologies such as monocular vision, ultra-wideband (UWB) tags, and **RGB-D** formations.

The agreement includes an option to convert this evaluation license into an exclusive worldwide license, with clearly defined terms and fees.

**ECS-DoT Integration & Endurance Gains**

Nanoveu is targeting seamless integration of this new IP with its proprietary **ECS-DoT** ultra-low-power control engine.

The aim is to create a complete autonomous drone stack, encompassing enhanced endurance, precise navigation, and advanced swarm intelligence capabilities.

Phase-2 live drone trials have already showcased significant endurance improvements.

Quadcopters recorded **60%** gains, hexacopters **58%**, and octocopters **57%**.

These substantial improvements were achieved without any changes to batteries or airframes.

This integration has the potential to significantly expand Nanoveu's autonomy stack capabilities, particularly in challenging **GPS-denied** environments where traditional navigation systems are limited.

**Commercial Terms & Equity**

The initial evaluation license fee stands at **SGD 50,000**.

Should Nanoveu elect to convert this to an exclusive worldwide license, an additional **SGD 85,000** will be due by **September 2026**.

Ongoing annual patent costs of **SGD 50,000** would apply if the license is converted, for a potential seven-year term.

In a related development, **5 million** performance rights have been issued to **62 Capital**, with their vesting directly linked to **VWAP** (Volume Weighted Average Price) milestones.

**Market Opportunity and Strategic Context**

This strategic acquisition positions Nanoveu within a rapidly expanding market.

The autonomous drone and swarm robotics market is projected to exceed **US$35 billion** by **2030**.

This IP acquisition aligns perfectly with Nanoveu's broader **AIoT** roadmap.

It also complements the recent tape-out of its **16nm ECS-DoT Edge AI SoC**, a significant milestone announced in **January 2026**.

The company has also been building momentum with other key milestones, including a **A$7.5 million** capital raising in **January 2026** and strategic collaborations with global partners like **Arrow Electronics** and **Semtech**, announced in **December 2025**.
