Events

• 2026-04-01 - Demonstration - Skygauge completes naval-vessel corrosion-repair trials

  Testing completed in May 2025 after validating bristle blasting, surface cleaning and roller-based coating application. The drone replicated the principal steps of manual spot-corrosion repair while personnel remained on the ground. A follow-on phase began to test repeatability against Royal Canadian Navy coating standards.

• 2026-03-16 - Capability - Skygauge integrates MontiPower Bristle Blaster for aerial surface preparation

  The drone automatically maintains contact force while the payload removes spot rust and creates a coating anchor profile. Operators can replace the blasting tool with Skygauge coating payloads to seal the prepared area. Skygauge said the configuration had operated under a Canadian Navy contract and with inspection service providers.
