Sky Robots Mauritius / Engineering & manufacturing
Sky Robots develops unmanned aircraft and associated software, communications and Command & Control systems for professional civilian operations. Our engineering approach combines aircraft design, electronics, avionics, software and practical operational experience.
An integrated approach
Aircraft are part of a wider system
We bring airframes, payloads, avionics, software, communications and ground-control infrastructure together as integrated systems for professional civilian operations.
Aircraft
Airframe & configuration
Explore the SRV32 G3 VTOL aircraft and the multirotor range in the context of the intended task.
Technology
Software & ground systems
Consider supporting software, control equipment and communications alongside the aircraft.
Application
Operating requirements
Use the site, people and information needs to frame the technical discussion.
Engineering & manufacturing
Engineering informed by real operations
Our technology has been developed with an understanding of the demands of mining, industrial security and infrastructure monitoring. Aircraft, software and ground systems are considered together, from the operating requirement through to product support and training.
Use the applicable approved product documentation for performance, operating limits and mission planning.
Supporting technologies
Experience beyond the aircraft
Sky Robots draws on engineering, software development, manufacturing and practical field operations to build systems intended for sustained professional use. The company works with Country Partners to translate that knowledge into local capability and customer support.
International conversations
Start with the country and the project
We work with customers and Country Partners to define aircraft, systems and local integration requirements. Share your organisation, market and application to begin a focused technical and commercial discussion.
