Become compliant. Unlock your earning potential.
Execute your vision.

Fly under our UASOC

Obtaining your Remote Pilot Licence (RPL) is only the first step toward operating legally in the drone industry. Securing your own UASOC is a complex, time-intensive process that can take years and requires substantial financial and compliance commitments to maintain.We remove that barrier.

By flying under our approved UASOC, you can operate legally and compliantly, without the administrative burden, while focusing on what you do best: delivering exceptional work and growing your business.

Join our expanding network of skilled drone operators and industry specialists, and gain access to opportunities, support, and a compliant operational framework.

Whether you already own a drone and hold your RPC and medical certification, or you’re just starting your journey and need guidance, we offer end-to-end support to help you succeed in the industry.
In addition, we provide drone sales through our trusted retail partner, EDSSA, as well as consulting services tailored to a range of industries.

Equipment

Our specialised inspection Payloads

1-stop external blade inspector
A state of the art external blade inspector allowing turbines to be inspected within a single stop of the turbine and almost all angles, dramatically reducing turbine downtime. Using high resolution RGB imagery and obstacle avoidance LiDAR system to ensure safe and high quality operations

Internal Blade Crawler
Our small but potent blade crawler uses high resolution imagery and flash photography to inspect the internal structure of the blade from root until about 90% of the blade length. This allows teams to inspect potential weak points identified using external inspections

Lighting protection system Testing
Our LPS system does more than just test if the contact points are available or not. It measures voltage and resistance to see the overall health of the entire system.
