SwissDrones

Aviation · Zurich, Switzerland · Founded 2013

Developer and producer of unmanned helicopters for civil purposes MoreLess

SwissDrones specializes in the development, manufacturing, and operation of long-range unmanned helicopter systems designed for commercial and public safety applications. These systems are particularly suited for critical missions that require vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities, such as aerial surveillance, linear inspection, and search and rescue operations. The company operates in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) market, serving clients in industries like infrastructure, energy, maritime, and public safety. SwissDrones' business model revolves around providing both the hardware and operational services for these UAV systems, generating revenue through the sale of their SDO 50 V2 helicopters and associated services. The company has been granted the European Drone Operator License (LUC), allowing it to self-authorize flight operations across EASA countries, which significantly enhances its operational flexibility. SwissDrones' solutions offer significant reductions in risk, pollution, and cost compared to traditional manned helicopter operations, making them a sustainable and cost-efficient alternative. The company's long-range BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) drones are pivotal in enabling safer and greener missions under challenging conditions, such as bad weather, darkness, or hostile environments where manned operations are not feasible.
