About Yirra Systems
Modular open-architecture UAS platforms — engineered and manufactured in Australia.
What we build
Yirra Systems designs and manufactures the Replicant family of long-range, modular unmanned platforms and the rail-mounted power systems that sustain them. We serve builders through open hardware, commercial OEMs through partner licensing, and defence-adjacent programmes through NDAA-aligned sourcing and controlled engagement.
Our edge is manufacturing reality: CF-Nylon additive structures, carbon tubular architecture, rapid tooling, and Australian production — so platforms can iterate at the tempo operators actually need.
How we work
Open architecture
Airframe CAD under CERN-OHL-W-2.0 accelerates adoption and repair. Proprietary battery and power-management IP stays controlled for safety and programme value.
Australian manufacturing
Design and production in Australia — sovereign supply posture for commercial fleets and government programmes that need short regeneration cycles.
Partnership-ready
Published Partner and Enterprise licensing doors, qualified intake, and procurement-facing capability packs — not manifesto pages.
Leadership
James
Founder & Engineering Lead
Mechanical design and production-focused engineer leading CAD, airframe architecture, additive manufacturing workflows, and scaling of the Replicant platform and modular battery system from Melbourne, Australia.
Depth in design-for-manufacturing, hybrid carbon/printed structures, and field-serviceable modular systems for builder and commercial fleets.
