Our take

Maintaining smooth cargo shipments is essential to the integrity of supply chains, something that is equally important to both businesses and military forces. Such logistics are generally handled by cars and trucks, but this greatly limits the efficiency of routes and can negatively impact stealth for military supply chains.

Skyways develops AI-driven autonomous delivery drones, focussed on reducing supply chain bottlenecks for military forces as well as businesses. The company sells three models of electric and hybrid drones capable of delivering up to 25lbs of cargo across distances up to 500 miles, with each model being designed to fly low to help military forces stay under the radar.

Whilst offense and defense drones are commonplace in today’s military landscape, Skyways has identified the gap in the market of low-flying and autonomous delivery drones, helping to reduce loads carried by troops, increase resupply capabilities, and lower detection rates. The company currently focusses on facilitating military deliveries but shows promise to improve last-mile eCommerce order fulfillment in the future.
