Custom Drone Platforms

From standard quadcopters to autonomous surface vessels, we design, integrate, and deploy custom solutions for any operational requirement.

Multirotor UAV
Standard quadcopters to heavy-lift octocopters with custom payload integration. Fully configurable sensors, flight times, and stability systems tailored to your mission profile.
Fixed Wing
Long-range mapping and survey platforms with extended flight times. Ideal for large-area coverage where fixed-wing efficiency outperforms multirotor solutions.
VTOL (Vertical Take-Off & Landing)
Combines the hover stability of multirotors with the range and efficiency of fixed-wing platforms. No runway required – ideal for remote and restricted access sites.
ROV (Underwater Drone)
Subsea inspection and bathymetric survey systems for underwater structure assessment and data collection in challenging aquatic environments.
UGV (Ground Vehicle)
Land-based autonomous platforms for inspection, sampling, and surveillance. Customisable for terrain, payload, and operational autonomy requirements.
USV (Surface Vessel)
Water surface monitoring and survey vessels. Fully autonomous operation for hydrographic surveys, environmental monitoring, and marine infrastructure inspection.

Have a Custom Drone Requirement?

Tell us what you need. We discuss your application, analyse technical requirements, test candidate solutions, and deliver a platform ready for your mission.

From Concept to Custom Solution

A structured four-stage process from initial requirements through to deployment and ongoing support.

01

Discuss & Analyse

We understand your requirements, operational constraints, and environment. We scope the technical and regulatory needs and identify the most suitable platform approach.

02

Test & Validate

Prototype and test configurations against your mission profile. We validate performance before full integration to ensure the final platform meets your operational requirements.

03

Build & Integrate

Custom assembly, integration, and certification. Full platform ready for deployment with complete documentation and all necessary regulatory approvals in place.

04

Deploy & Support

Operations planning, pilot training, and ongoing technical support. Your custom solution deployed and your team fully equipped to operate it effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our custom drone platform services.

We specialise in custom multirotors, fixed-wing platforms, VTOL systems, underwater ROVs, ground vehicles (UGVs), and autonomous surface vessels (USVs). From concept to fully operational platform, we design and integrate solutions for any requirement.

Timeline depends on complexity, regulatory approvals needed, and testing requirements. Typical builds range from 8 to 16 weeks. We provide a full project timeline during the discovery phase so you can plan accordingly.

Yes. We perform custom modifications and payload integrations on commercial platforms when they fit your requirements. This is often faster and more cost-effective than building from scratch while still achieving the mission capability you need.

We handle all EASA and IAA certification requirements as part of the build process. Our established regulatory relationships ensure your custom platform meets all operational requirements before deployment – no separate regulatory work needed on your part.

Cost varies significantly based on platform type, complexity, sensors, and regulatory requirements. Simple modifications start from €15,000; full custom builds range from €50,000 to €500,000+. Contact us for a free requirements assessment and indicative budget.
