Recon Aeronautics is P. Stuckey McIntosh's 30+ year private R&D lab—building practical safety nets for communications networks, roads, and aircraft. Dozens of patents. Real prototypes. Working systems.
What we work on
Four decades of focused invention across telecom, networking, transportation, and aviation.
Telecom & Wireless Systems
From cordless home PBX systems to intelligent dialing, making complex telecom infrastructure behave simply for humans.
Network Reliability & Self-Healing
Local agents that monitor, report, and automatically remediate connectivity issues before anyone notices.
Intelligent Roads & Vehicles
Passive sensing systems that know where vehicles are without requiring them to transmit anything.
Aviation Ground Safety
Proximity sensing for aircraft and ground equipment to prevent collisions before they happen.
30+ years of invention
From cordless PBX systems to aircraft ground safety—a continuous thread of making complex systems behave politely.
Featured technologies
Our most commercially relevant systems—available for licensing, integration, or joint development.
Network Probe Restore (NPR)
Self-healing networks that fix themselves before you notice.
Remote sites go offline. ISP customer-premises equipment locks up. Access points freeze. By the time anyone notices, customers are already frustrated—and a truck roll costs hundreds of dollars and hours of downtime.
Digital Rumble Strips & Passive Vehicle Detection
Roads that know where vehicles are—without asking.
Roads and ramps provide almost no real-time feedback beyond static signage. Wrong-way drivers kill hundreds of people annually. Vehicles enter curves too fast. Departments of transportation have limited tools for understanding real-time traffic behavior.
Aircraft & Ground Vehicle Proximity Sensing
Preventing hangar rash before contact occurs.
Ground collisions and 'hangar rash' are expensive and dangerous. Aircraft wingtips clip hangar doors. Tugs misjudge distances. In tight FBO environments, a moment's inattention can mean tens of thousands of dollars in damage—or worse.
P. Stuckey McIntosh
40+ years in electronics, telecoms, and systems engineering. Former CTO. Inventor with a patent trail running from the early 1990s through the 2020s.
Stuckey builds and prototypes what he patents—this isn't armchair invention. From home PBX systems to aircraft proximity sensors, the work is hands-on and grounded in real-world constraints.
