Manufacturers of Aerial Drone Systems
Drone engineering and manufacturing in South Africa
Sky Robots South Africa designs and manufactures drone aircraft, integrates avionics and develops the software and ground systems that support them.
Our engineering work spans composite airframes, aircraft assembly, electronics, propulsion, flight testing and technical support. Sky Robots Mauritius manages international commercial relationships and Country Partners. Aerial Works provides managed security operations and regulated pilot training.
SRV32 G3 Fixed-Wing VTOL Drone
An electric fixed-wing aircraft with vertical take-off and landing, supplied with a stabilised optical and thermal camera. Designed, manufactured and integrated by the South African team.
| Configuration | Specification |
|---|---|
| Wingspan | 3.2 m |
| Flight battery | 12S 40 Ah |
| Endurance design target | 2 hours, subject to flight validation |
Command & Control infrastructure
Command & Control gives operators a working environment for aircraft control and communications. We integrate workstations, radios and power equipment into vehicles, trailers, containers and fixed control rooms.
SkyOS flight-log analysis
SkyOS analyses TLOG flight logs and returns Red, Amber or Green aircraft-condition feedback to the operator. The South African software team develops this released capability alongside a wider platform roadmap for operational information and coordination.
ROIP aviation communications
ROIP connects authorised users to a site aviation radio through a browser. Shared push-to-talk access and timestamped recordings help pilots and supervisors coordinate radio use and review communications.
Sky Robots Multirotor Drone
The Sky Robots Multirotor Drone provides vertical flight and hovering for site observation. It uses a 6S battery system and includes a handheld controller.
Engineering the complete aircraft
Airframe structure, electronics, propulsion and software are developed together. Assembly, inspection and flight testing connect the workshop with the aircraft’s intended use.

A South African engineering history
Experimental multirotor work was under way in 2018. A Command & Control vehicle followed in 2023, then G1 VTOL development and its first flight in May 2024. The current G3 platform builds on that engineering history.
International Country Partners
Sky Robots Mauritius manages the international Country Partner programme. Country Partners connect Sky Robots technology with local sales, training, technical support and customer enablement.
South African technical base
The South African team supports aircraft selection, system integration, documentation, OEM training and spares.
