Vectra Hive S1
Autonomous Air Defense for Your Backyard
Executive Summary
The Vectra Hive S1 is a fully autonomous 'drone-in-a-box' system designed to neutralize mosquitoes within a 100-foot perimeter of the home. Utilizing a base station 'Hive' for heavy computational processing and charging, the system deploys a swarm of four ultra-compact nano-drones equipped with miniaturized high-voltage grids to intercept and eliminate pests. This chemical-free solution offers 24/7 protection by leveraging swarm logic to patrol, track, and zap mosquitoes, returning automatically to their dedicated docking bays on the Hive to recharge.
