Sustainable, adaptable, scalable: an enterprise solution
By manufacturing our drones in-house – including electronics and core components, with a pathway to making our own motors – we maintain quality control, reduce emissions from transport, and can scale production to meet a demand that can deliver 10,000 units daily, 10 million annually, by maximising economies of scale in our product, all while keeping sustainability at the core of our operations.
Without the need for exotic materials, our streamlined manufacturing process ensures each unit is assembled in just three minutes – minimising downtime and maximising productivity. Our drones are built to support fleet management using sustainable materials. They’re easy to use in the field and balance high performance with environmental responsibility.
From our UK-based R&D labs and manufacturing facilities, we serve clients worldwide with precision-engineered, biodegradable drones. Aided by our partners in the USA and Australia and a European-friendly supply chain, our team combines global expertise with technical precision, delivering a sovereign solution that meets diverse operational needs while ensuring sustainable production.
