Xplora Srl

What Xplora Srl does

Xplora Srl is an Italian AI and sensor-fusion company founded in 2023 and headquartered in Milan (registered) with operations in Parma. It develops the DeepGeo AI platform, which fuses data from ground-penetrating radar, magnetometers, electromagnetic sensors, and electrical tomography instruments to produce 3D subsurface maps used for utility mapping, UXO detection, environmental pollutant analysis, and archaeological assessment. The software can be consumed either through Xplora's tiered SaaS platform (Basic pay-per-use, Premium, Enterprise) with 24-hour turnaround, or via a full professional-services workflow where Xplora handles survey design through post-delivery support.

On the defense side, Xplora has built the RMDS (Remote Mine Detection System) family — the RMDS XPLORER multirotor drone and the agnostic RMDS BlackUnit payload, both running onboard AI with multispectral sensors and claiming greater than 98% UXO detection reliability. The SLIX RMDS variant is marketed into the US Department of Defense market through a teaming agreement with Sierra Lobo Inc., while a February 2025 partnership with Al Waha Group targets AI-powered demining in Iraq. Xplora serves EPC contractors, multi-utilities, defense and military customers, and renewable-energy developers across Italy, the United States, and Iraq, with an advisory bench that includes former senior leaders from Bechtel, Blackstone, and PwC.

Core offering

Xplora Srl develops AI-powered sensor fusion software (DeepGeo AI) and integrated drone-based hardware systems (RMDS) for non-invasive subsurface analysis. The DeepGeo AI platform ingests data from GPR radar, magnetometers, electromagnetic sensors, and electrical tomography instruments to generate precise 3D georeferenced maps for utility mapping, UXO detection, archaeological assessment, and environmental analysis. The company delivers its technology via a SaaS cloud platform, complete-service field engagements, and direct hardware sales of custom AI-equipped drones.

Product overview

Xplora Srl develops a unified portfolio of AI-powered subsurface analysis solutions combining sensor fusion technology with advanced artificial intelligence. The core offering consists of DeepGeo AI software platform for processing and analyzing subsurface data from multiple sensor types, complemented by integrated drone systems (RMDS Xplorer, RMDS BlackUnit) for defense and demining applications. The SLIX RMDS, developed through partnership with Sierra Lobo, targets the U.S. defense market. All products leverage proprietary AI algorithms for real-time threat detection, utility mapping, and environmental analysis, with outputs delivered via SaaS platform or direct field deployment.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Al Waha GroupcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 February 2025Strategic collaboration between Xplora and Al Waha Group (Basra, Iraq) for AI-powered demining operations in Iraq. Project aims to make mine clearance safer and more efficient using Xplora's sensor fusion and AI technology. Capable of decontaminating over 2 hectares per hour compared to traditional 2 hectares per day methods, with error margin under 1%. Addresses critical need in Iraq, one of the most mine-contaminated countries globally.
• Sierra Lobo Inc.coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 6 May 2024Strategic teaming agreement between Xplora Srl (Parma, Italy) and Sierra Lobo Inc. (Fremont, Ohio, USA) to provide drone-mounted Remote Mine Detection System (RMDS) for US Government and Department of Defense markets. The SLIX RMDS combines unmanned aerial vehicle, sensor suite, communications package, AI/ML software, and integration processor for real-time landmine detection. Successfully demonstrated to International Defense and Law Enforcement agencies and US DOD representatives. Both companies participated in MSPIX'24 at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.

Emerging players

• Exyn Technologies: Pioneer in autonomous aerial robotics for industrial and defense applications, including GPS-denied environments. Comparable to Xplora's autonomous drone + onboard AI architecture used in RMDS.
• DroneShield: Australian-listed drone detection and counter-UAS provider serving defense, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure. Overlaps with Xplora's defense situational awareness value proposition.
• WhiteFox Defense: Drone-based defense and security technology company. Comparable to Xplora's RMDS in integrating AI-enabled drone platforms for defense and situational awareness applications.

Direct peers

• IDS GeoRadar (Hexagon): Part of Hexagon, IDS GeoRadar manufactures ground-penetrating radar and interferometric radar systems used for subsurface utility detection, mining, and civil engineering — the same civilian core use case as Xplora's DeepGeo AI platform.
• Sensors & Software: Canadian GPR and subsurface imaging vendor serving the utility mapping, geotechnical, and archaeology markets — overlapping with Xplora's civilian DeepGeo AI use cases.
• MagSurvey: Specialist in magnetometer-based UXO and landmine detection services — directly comparable to Xplora's RMDS magnetometer sensor fusion and UXO detection capability.
• GSSI (Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.): US-based manufacturer of GPR equipment used for subsurface utility mapping, archaeology, and UXO detection. Directly competes with Xplora on the GPR-based utility mapping workflow.

Broad incumbents

• Hexagon AB: Global geospatial and industrial software/hardware conglomerate owning IDS GeoRadar and Leica Geosystems. Competes broadly with Xplora in survey, mapping, and subsurface analysis but at much larger scale.
• Anduril Industries: US defense technology incumbent building AI-enabled autonomous systems across air, land, and sea. Comparable in defense AI/drone positioning but operates at vastly broader scale than Xplora.
• Teledyne FLIR: Major sensor and imaging systems provider for defense, industrial, and public safety markets. Comparable to Xplora through multispectral sensor integration and defense market presence.
