About
About Volatus Aerospace
Volatus Aerospace combines flight operations with systems integration, training and aerial-data services. Its teams perform inspection, mapping, survey, surveillance and multispectral collection for energy, utilities, infrastructure, forestry and agriculture, then process the results through GIS, machine-learning tools and the AIRS 3 integrity-reporting platform.
An Operations Control Centre supports remote and beyond-visual-line-of-sight missions, including autonomous drone-in-a-box operations and medical deliveries between hospitals. Cargo work uses Canary aircraft and DroneSpot infrastructure for time-critical or remote routes. The company also distributes and maintains aircraft, sensors and payloads, provides operator certification and regulatory consulting, and develops defence offerings covering ISR training, counter-UAS planning and allied-government systems. Its North American pilot network extends field coverage across commercial and public-safety projects.
