About
About Skyfish
Skyfish develops the Osprey and M6 aircraft together with flight-control, mission-planning and data-capture software. Osprey can carry the 61-megapixel Sony ILX-LR1 with real-time kinematic positioning for high-resolution photogrammetry, while electro-optical and infrared payloads extend the platform into surveillance and long-range inspection.
The company controls the airframe, avionics, firmware and mission software, allowing camera triggering, positioning and flight geometry to be coordinated around the required model accuracy. Utilities, telecom operators and industrial teams use the resulting imagery for tower twins, structural measurements and repeatable asset inspection. Osprey is manufactured in the United States and carries Blue UAS and Green UAS approvals.

Osprey is a roughly 14-pound survey-grade quadcopter designed to fit in a backpack and fly for up to 60 minutes with a three-to-five-mile radio range. The aircraft supports compact third-party payloads including Sony's 61-megapixel LR1 camera for inspection and photogrammetry and NextVision's Raptor EO/IR sensor for ISR. Skyfish lists collision avoidance, RTK centimetre-grade positioning and frame-synchronous geotagging; the US-made platform was NDAA compliant and Army DEVCOM Airworthiness Level 3 certified at announcement.
