ALUX Makes Strategic Investment in Integrated Control Technology Startup ‘Mobility One’
Korea’s leading drone company, ALUX Co., Ltd., has announced a strategic investment in startup Mobility One, a company specializing in integrated control platforms. Through this investment, ALUX has become the second-largest shareholder of Mobility One.
This strategic move signals ALUX’s shift from a hardware-centric drone business to an integrated platform-based ecosystem player. The investment is expected to generate technological synergies between the two companies while accelerating their entry into global markets.
Mobility One is a specialized operator in heterogeneous system integration and has developed M1UCS (Mobility One Unified Control System)—a platform capable of controlling various land, sea, and air-based drones and robots from a single interface. Founded in 2022 by former members of Doosan Enerbility’s drone platform team, Mobility One successfully commercialized its high-level integrated control technology for drones and robots tailored for public and industrial field operations.
M1UCS is a next-generation integrated operation platform that enables real-time monitoring and control of multiple drones and robots over LTE, RF, 5G, and satellite communication networks. The platform supports advanced features such as mission flight simulation, object recognition, automated safety checks, and optimized flight path planning. The system is currently undergoing real-world validation through pilot projects with public institutions such as the Jeju Autonomous Police Agency and the city of Gimcheon, and is seeing rapidly growing demand from private drone manufacturers, logistics companies, and security firms.
Mobility One offers M1UCS in both SaaS and on-premise formats and continues to expand its market share in both the public and private integrated control sectors. In particular, in the field of large-scale aerial surveying, it can operate five fixed-wing drones simultaneously to survey 100–200 km² in a single day—achieving significant cost savings and speed compared to traditional aircraft-based methods. This scalability is increasing collaboration potential with geospatial data providers and is expected to play a key role in the domestic and international digital twin and spatial information industries.
Through this investment, ALUX will integrate Mobility One’s software into its own product lineup, combining its existing hardware expertise with software platform capabilities to enhance its market competitiveness. Notably, equipping ALUX’s proprietary VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) drones and drone swarms with M1UCS will elevate these systems from simple flying machines to intelligent, industry-specific solution providers.
Together, the two companies plan to expand drone applications across various domains such as digital twin-based smart city monitoring, public safety and disaster response, industrial plant inspections, maritime pollution control, and logistics automation. Mobility One’s technology supports integrated operation across a range of devices—including drones, quadruped robots, surface water robots, and indoor/outdoor logistics robots—and is architected to support future one-operator control systems, offering immense scalability across industries.
This investment aligns with ALUX’s broader strategy of internalizing core technologies and expanding globally following its KOSDAQ listing in 2024.
ALUX has already proven its technical excellence and brand recognition through back-to-back CES Innovation Awards in 2024 and 2025, as well as exports to North America and Southeast Asia. With manufacturing capabilities exceeding 500,000 units annually, ALUX is now poised to evolve from a drone hardware manufacturer into a comprehensive drone solution company by integrating Mobility One’s software technology.
