Powering Your Mission
Integrated Power, Controls, And Sensing For Unmanned Systems
What we engineer and Manufacture
.svg){kind=icon}
Power
Battery packs, chargers, converters, and battery management. Energy budgets, thermal behavior, charge and discharge architecture, and the safety and monitoring system (BMS) layer around them.

Controls
Flight controllers, power controllers, and the
control electronics that sit between a system's intent and its actuators. Hardware, embedded software, and the interfaces that connect a controller to the rest of the platform.

Sensing
Sensor selection, integration, and the signal path from raw measurement to usable data.
Placement, isolation, calibration, and the electrical design decisions that determine whether a sensor performs in the field the way it performed on the bench.

Altora comes out of Treetown Tech, an Ann Arbor engineering firm working across mechanical, electrical, software, rapid prototyping, and manufacturing – with hundreds of years of collective engineering and manufacturing experience behind it.
Treetown Tech is big enough to have specialists and small enough to move quickly and flexibly. A program gets the electrical, mechanical, and software engineers to solve its problems, and they’re all in the same building and already used to working with each other.
For Altora, that means a new company with an established engineering and manufacturing organization behind it. When a project needs mechanical design, enclosure work, or prototyping support beyond the power and controls layer, it is down the hall.
We build what we design
Integration By One Team
Most teams source power from one place, controls another, and sensing a third. Each piece meets its own spec. The integration risk lands on the customer, and it shows up late, in thermal behavior, in noise on the sensor line, in a power budget that held in the model but not in the field.
Altora works the other direction. We treat power, controls, and sensing as one design problem, because in the finished system they are one. The tradeoffs get made deliberately, early, by engineers who can see all three sides of them.
