Product Overview
The PROTEUS DK40 is a field-reconfigurable drone kit with a wide selection of interchangeable accessories. It can be utilized as a quadcopter, hexacopter, octocopter, or a wheeled vehicle and is self-configuring based on the attached accessories. PROTEUS is the first drone to truly embrace a Modular Open-Source Architecture (MOSA) and is priced competitively.
User Benefits
- Modularity: A full suite of accessories is available, along with open-source interfaces that enable users to design and implement their own custom solutions.
- Tailor-ability: Units can be configured to match specific operational requirements. Each kit includes both an RC radio and a telemetry radio, allowing the drone to support planned flights, autonomous missions, and line-of-sight FPV operations, by simply by attaching the appropriate radio accessory.
- Cost: Proteus is priced well below the market average. Its main body, arms, and battery are designed as expendable components, enabling commanders to make rapid operational decisions and support decisive, one-way missions.
- Open-Source: Envision provides 3D prototyping files for all module interfaces, empowering end-users to support self-sustaining operations in the field and drive continuous innovation and development.
- Speed: Assemble a fully operational drone or crawler from the kit in under 60 seconds.

Designed for Defense. Built for Reality. Problem Solved.
Conversations with operational units revealed a common issue: teams owned many drone systems but used only a few, due to mismatched components, training demands, and logistical burdens. Envision answered the call.
PROTEUS is based on a main frame with integral electronics and electro-mechanical interface that supports a suite of snap-on accessories. This gives operators the ability to configure the vehicle they need without reengineering, refabrication, or retraining.
Military operations demand speed, adaptability, and survivability. PROTEUS was engineered from the ground up to give operators a rapidly reconfigurable unmanned system that adapts to a mission in minutes and remains sustainable for months.
