Supply-chain coverage is being added across the registry; check back as the seed populates this model's suppliers._ _Suppliers appear when verified with at least two strong sources. Sources are append-only; corrections add new sources rather than rewrite history._ ## Common questions ### What is xCell? Containerized expeditionary manufacturing platform that 3D-prints modular unmanned aerial systems and spare parts at the point of need. Uses HP Multi Jet Fusion technology with globally available polymer feedstock. Designed for forward-deployed production in combat environments, aboard ships, and at remote bases. Can produce complete Tempest UAS units and Squall FPV drones on-site, then reconfigure them for ISR, electronic warfare, or strike missions. ### How much does xCell cost? xCell's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for xCell from Firestorm Labs. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest. ### Is xCell actually deployed in the real world? Yes. xCell is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only. ### Who makes xCell? xCell is made by Firestorm Labs, based in San Diego, CA, founded in 2022. ### Where is xCell deployed? 2 verified deployments of xCell are on the DEPLOY registry, including at San Diego, California, USA, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, USA. ### Can you buy xCell? xCell is in commercial deployment and is sold to operators; contact the manufacturer to buy, and see the pricing section for any recorded price. ### What are alternatives to xCell? On the DEPLOY registry, comparable aerial robots to xCell include Zipline Platform 2 (P2), MQ-9 Reaper, Wing Delivery Aircraft, Prime Air MK30. ### How does xCell compare to Zipline Platform 2 (P2)? xCell and Zipline Platform 2 (P2) (Zipline · 14 deployments) are both aerial robots on the DEPLOY registry. xCell has 2 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy. ### Is xCell a top aerial? On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, xCell ranks in roughly the top 57% of aerial models tracked by the registry. ### What is xCell's maturity stage? xCell is at the production stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Production stage means high-volume manufacture and commercial-scale deployments are sustained. ## Sources (2) 1. https://www.voxelmatters.com/firestorm-labs-secures-82-million-series-b-to-scale-forward-deployed-manufacturing-platform/ 2. https://launchfirestorm.com/ ## The verified answers - [Which robots are deployed in the most cities](/which-robots-are-deployed-in-the-most-cities.md) - [Which types of robots are deployed the most](/which-types-of-robots-are-deployed-the-most.md) _API: GET /v1/models/02ad0805-fc4f-4b1f-b322-a0b3b0f43925 · canonical URL: /models/firestorm-xcell_
