Birdstop

Birdstop is a Detroit-based manufacturer of autonomous drone systems for government and enterprise. Its flagship system, Fealty, provides persistent aerial awareness by combining an advanced drone, ground perch, and command platform into one integrated system. Birdstop operates under advanced FAA approvals that enable nationwide teleoperations. In late 2025, Birdstop relocated to Detroit to partner with the automotive supply chain and tackle the manufacturing constraints that have kept American drone production below 1% of global output. While many legacy American drones rely on defense-oriented supply chains, Birdstop is building through automotive and commercial manufacturing channels designed for different economics and greater scale. Fealty is in active use monitoring and securing nationally critical infrastructure.
