With over 10 years’ manufacturing experience, we harness the latest technology to craft superior cutting-edge and innovative Drones. We Build, Maintain, Integrate and Operate our own Drones in the UK and EU which makes us unique in Scotland if not the entire UK. Many commercial Drone operators simply modify other manufacturer’s Drones in order to mount a new sensor, however, we build our own which allows us to consider any changes holistically across the aircraft. For example, simply increasing motor power may provide an overall negative effect if the rotors aren’t tuned or if the batteries remain the same, so we take each element collectively into consideration during our Build phase.
Our multi-rotor Drones are built with carbon fibre body shells and machined, aircraft grade aluminium to ensure a lightweight durable aircraft. We build our drones weatherproof as standard to contend with the great Scottish weather, where our manufacturing site is based! We build redundancy throughout our Kanon range including motors, rotors, batteries and flight control units. This means we can lose multiple of each during the flight and continue to fly without impact to flight stability and payload security so you can complete the operation before returning safely back to base.
We are continuously reviewing and improving our range of Drones, pushing the limits of performance and endurance, witnessing significant advancements with every iteration. Our Drones all benefit from and incorporate these features, but we can also provide bespoke builds where the requirement is above and beyond.
Key features of the range
class identification is a new UK / EU initiative to demonstrate a minimum flight safety capability. This legislation has been agreed but delayed in implementation (expected 2026 in the UK and sooner in the EU). Our drones are built Classification ready so they can be classified at a later date to conform with regulations.
Whilst we are extremely proud of our Kanon range with its competitive performance durability and complete flexibility, we understand that there may be times where an operation requires additional or adapted functionality. We have the design and engineering capability to customise any aspect of the Drone including dimensions (size and weight), payloads (single or multiple), power, endurance and rotors.
We tend to start with a client requirement that is outside of the capability of an off the shelf model, either our Kanon range or other manufacturer. That is primarily a result of one of three reasons:
We have great experience in delivering solutions for each challenge, either by innovative design or by taking advantage of the latest technology / materials to improve our fleet.
Recent examples include a world first mounting of a heavy-duty sensor on a multi-rotor UAV which required shedding 8kg of weight and reducing power consumption by half.
