Advanced UAV Solutions for Research, Intelligence and Public Safety

At the core of our offering is a commitment to Research & Development, partnering with universities and industry leaders to push the boundaries of UAV technology. Through continuous innovation we explore new applications, and translate emerging technologies into real‑world drone solutions that deliver measurable outcomes.

Our capability extends into spatial data capture, managed services, and specialist training, offering end‑to‑end UAV solutions from orthomosaic mapping and 3D modelling to regulatory compliance, asset management, and operator accreditation. With future‑focused developments such as autonomous “Drone in a Box” systems and long‑range UAV platforms, we are building safer coastlines, better emergency outcomes, and smarter data‑driven decisions.

Our coastal shark mitigation and public safety operations are currently running 7 days a week along NSW shoreline to detect marine life and emerging hazards. Pilots conduct multiple flights per hour, actively monitoring waters, recording data for research and issuing real‑time warnings to beachgoers via onboard loudspeaker systems. This proactive, layered approach significantly improves public safety.

Beyond routine operations, we are trusted responders in search and rescue, disaster response, and emergency service assistance. Our teams support missing person searches, flood and storm damage assessments, thermal operations, and rescue oversight, delivering immediate aerial insight. We also provide specialised surveillance and safety services for surfing competitions, ocean swims, triathlons, and major events, including live judging perspectives, media capture, and livestreaming.
