SkyWard and Robotic Skies have teamed to provide safety, compliance, and maintenance solutions to the remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) community.
Through SkyWard’s digital system of record and Robotic Skies’ global maintenance network, RPA operators can track and manage their fleet, whether in the air or on the ground for routine inspections and repair.
“Airworthiness is the responsibility of the operator,” said Jonathan Evans, SkyWard CEO. “Working with a trusted partner like Robotic Skies gives SkyWard users confidence that their airframes will be returned to mission ready status and repaired with the same quality standards we expect in manned aviation.”
In addition to its digital system of record, SkyWard helps its customers plan, develop, and maintain professional RPA programs. It creates custom plans for any size of operation.
Fleet maintenance is a vital part of keeping commercial drone operations safe and profitable. Robotics Skies’ global network of approved repair stations have the expertise and factory training to provide maintenance to ensure operators can get back to business with a safe and compliant fleet, according to company officials.
“Robotic Skies does not view the emerging drone fleet as an entirely new industry; rather we look at it as a new market segment within the already existing aviation community. As such, drones will have to follow many of the same rules of the road as manned aircraft to fly within our airspace,” said Brad Hayden of Robotic Skies. “SkyWard is collapsing those rules into a digital system of record that machines and operators can easily follow.”
