Their Arial has recently been used in a military mission to deliver 3.4lbs of explosives to a target in Afghanistan. It is being tested at the moment and is known as the UK's first 'drop-in' autonomous UAV. The unit was retrieved by US Army Rangers and transferred to the U.S. Military's 'Future Vertical Lift' proving ground.

It is hoped that their success in launching such high-profile missions will help improve the overall quality of these applications. They have also demonstrated their ability to successfully retrieve the unit using aerial drones which demonstrate a very valuable skill set. This model has also successfully flown without human intervention for nearly an hour. This demonstrates that Skyrora is not only making great strides in technology but also in marketing as well.

Business Model

Skyrora is also working on projects to develop unmanned aerial vehicles which will offer businesses the possibility of developing their own network of surveillance cameras and sending the footage back to them via satellite. As well as making your business safer, it also saves you money on infrastructure costs. You can set up cameras near your business and know what is going on without having to drive to the location yourself. Each camera is said to weigh around 400kg and cost around 10p per day to operate. On top of the above mentioned projects, Skyrora is also developing different unmanned aerial systems which are capable of carrying out a range of tasks. These include: surveillance, disaster relief, security, monitoring and more. With the aid of satellites and space, your company is not just able to watch over your property and employees but also remain informed of the activities that take place within.

Their aim is to continue to improve the quality of their products and continue to progress with new developments. This enables them to bring customers various innovative solutions in the form of drones and equipments to improve the security of your business. The prospect of having an unmanned aerial vehicle flying over your property in a matter of minutes is something that cannot be ignored and should be of importance to all businesses.

There are many companies who are now using Skyrora's products for either for military or commercial use. It is hoped that their experience and reputation for quality will help them to further advance these unmanned aerial vehicles. They are also currently doing a hands-on test flight, which is due to commence soon. With the help of satellites, these vehicles will provide more accurate and detailed information about a disaster zone such as an oil rig or a power station.
