About Skycharge

In 2014 Skycharge (formerly Skysense) brought the world’s first drone charging pad for commercial drones on the market. The company raised seed funding from Qualcomm Ventures and started collaborations with NASA JPL, a growing number of enterprises, drone manufacturers, and renowned startups. Following the growing adoption of the Skycharge technology across the drone industry, the company now received venture funding to grow the team, expand operations, and bring a new generation of products to life!

Helping Skycharge, is of utmost importance for Boundary Holding. We have a major interest in the drone and space fields, and we definitely encourage this young start-up to keep up their hard work and to become more and more intertwined with all the actors in the drone industry. No doubt that Skycharge with this first industrialized drone charging port for commercial drones opens new perspectives, and it is clear that Boundary Holding – through an already strong network of 14 companies related to air and space – is determined to be of strong support.” - Rajat Khare, founder of Boundary Holding.

Skycharge as a key enabler

Keeping drone missions operational requires enterprises to organize teams of certified pilots that manually bring and collect drones from the field, swap and charge batteries, perform pre/post-flight checks, component maintenance, and data management. Human involvement is generally complex to organize, often lacking efficiency, reliability, and safety is always time-consuming.

SKYPORT DP5 drone box hangar keeps drones operational without human involvement.

SKYPORT DP5 is an automatic drone hangar engineered to install the drone where is needed, keeping it charged, protected, and ready for automatic, on-demand, and scheduled missions.

The system is engineered for compact drones including DJI Mavic and Parrot ANAFIseries, and comes integrated with FlytBase mission planner. Over the next months, the ecosystem of supported drone brands and mission planners is planned to grow.

A quick summary of the features that make SKYPORT DP5 a first in class drone charging hangar:

  • CE certification and safety rated

  • IP65 protection

  • Inox steel construction

  • Optional high-performance HVAC extending operating temperature to -35C and +65C

  • Zero-maintenance charging platform with no moving mechanical parts

  • Up to 500W charging at zero-loss-efficiency

  • Anti-theft electromechanical locking
