Enabling Scalable Emergency Response Drone Charging
Archer First Response Systems (AFRS) integrated Skycharge to remove manual battery handling from its emergency drone operations. Previously, drones returning from missions required batteries to be manually replaced inside the hangar—creating a direct dependency between fleet size and trained personnel. By embedding Skycharge into both the hangar and the drone, charging now occurs automatically upon landing through contact-based infrastructure. This removes battery management as a recurring operational task, allowing the system to maintain continuous readiness without relying on dedicated charging workflows.
Enabling Fully Autonomous VTOL Drone Operations
Avy partnered with Skycharge to enable fully autonomous docking and high-current charging for long-range VTOL drone operations. By integrating Skycharge’s modular, contact-based docking and charging system into Avy’s VTOL dock, the teams eliminated mechanical alignment and orientation constraints. The result is a future-ready solution that supports reliable, 24/7 emergency response missions in outdoor and harsh environments.
Revolutionizing Utility Infrastructure Inspection with Automated Drone Operations
Enel, one of the world’s largest energy providers, partnered with Skycharge to automate drone inspections across its 2.2 million km power grid. By deploying cross-platform charging and docking systems, Enel achieved 93% autonomous recharging success, eliminated manual battery swaps, and set the foundation for scalable BVLOS operations.
Enabling Drone-based Autonomous Wildfire Suppression
Dryad Networks and Skycharge teamed up to deploy fully autonomous wildfire suppression in remote forests. Using the NX30 drone and Skycharge’s contact-based docking and charging tech, the system operates completely off-grid—without human intervention.
How HHLA Sky Standardized BVLOS Drone Charging Infrastructure with Skycharge
Skycharge and HHLA Sky have completed fleet-wide integration of contact-based drone charging — enabling fully autonomous BVLOS operations at Europe’s busiest port.
Nimbus UAV-Docking Station
Nimbus SRL specializes in crafting fully customized unmanned aerial systems for professional applications in critical industries and services. Among their offerings is the Nimbus UAV-Docking Station, a sophisticated drone solution equipped with a range of features designed to optimize and streamline operations in various scenarios.
Fortem Technologies DroneHunter
Counter UAV is a 24-7 operation. Fortem’s DroneHunters are essentially autonomous. They take-off from the hangar once a threat is detected, position themselves to intercept that threat, calculate the shot required, and then capture.
Exabotix EB-Copterport
Exabotix has designed a hangar that serves as a climate-controlled base for one or multiple drones, which can be used throughout the year. The hangar not only charges the batteries of the drones but also receives transmitted data from them.
