Our Work History

Enabling the next frontier of aviation through

safe and trustworthy autonomy

As a company, we formed in 2024.  However, the founders of Level 5 have worked together as a team stretching back over 20 years.  In those 2 decades, they have been part of many teams, all with the common technology arc of advancing aviation autonomy.

Below is a sample of the work accomplished by the teams we have had the great honor of being part of.
