Ambitious talents,

Creating a culture where ideas flow freely and innovation thrives.
Our story
matters.
At OAVAO, we like solving hard problems.
What started as a group of Iowa State students building and testing ideas has grown into a team of graduates focused on developing custom autonomous systems. We work with organizations that need more than an off-the-shelf solution, helping them design, prototype, test, and deploy technology built for their specific mission.
Every project is different, and that's exactly what keeps it interesting.
