Skydio’s commitment to regulatory innovation in Australia and New Zealand

As in other country markets, Skydio is committed to work with ANZ regulators and customers to unlock its products for high-value, low-friction operations beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). In other markets, like the United States, Skydio has achieved some of the industry’s most advanced approvals for conducting BVLOS operations, such as for bridge inspection and tactical emergency response, and for fully remote operations with docked-based drones over railroad tracks and railyards. In ANZ, we will work closely with our customers and regulators to realize regulatory breakthroughs that harness the value of autonomy and deliver unprecedented levels of safety.
