How Can We Transform Your World?

LSA Autonomy finds new ways to utilize, improve, and
enable technology to work in fresh applications for new
markets.
In fact, LSA Autonomy has been providing technically sound,
affordable solutions to the toughest autonomous and
non-autonomous challenges since 2011.
The companys roots lay in the engineering of autonomous
vehicles for military applications through the integration of
existing vehicles and sensors with LSAs own hardware
designs and software components. The resulting systems are
based on modular, open-architecture designs that are both
adaptable and platform-agnostic.
