Capability 01 · Drone software

Fly, plan and sustain every drone.

Drone software for armed forces and security agencies that operate drones of different makes and need one station to fly them, one tool to plan their missions and one record to keep the fleet ready.

For

  • Army and special forces units
  • Air forces and navies
  • Border guards and security agencies

01Challenges

Operational challenges

What gets in the way in the field, and how Skyrivet addresses it.

  1. 01

    Every drone arrives with its own ground station.

    Skyrivet Command controls different drones from one station, so operators learn one interface instead of several.

  2. 02

    Missions are planned on paper and in separate tools.

    Skyrivet Plan brings routes, airspace and known threats into one plan that can be rehearsed before take-off and reviewed after landing.

  3. 03

    Nobody has a full view of the fleet's readiness.

    Skyrivet Fleet keeps airframes, batteries, payloads and maintenance in one record, so commanders know what can fly today.

  4. 04

    Every new sensor becomes a new integration project.

    The Skyrivet Payload SDK lets a payload be integrated once and used across different platforms.

01Platform

One platform, open by design.

Four products that share one data model and one interface. They work together or on their own, from a single drone team up to a drone unit.

Products

  • Skyrivet Command
  • Skyrivet Plan
  • Skyrivet Fleet
  • Skyrivet Payload SDK

  • Interoperability

    Designed to work with STANAG 4586 for vehicle control, STANAG 4609 and MISB metadata for video, and Cursor-on-Target, so positions and observations reach TAK devices and command systems.

  • Deployment

    Runs on rugged laptops in the field, on servers in the operations center or on sovereign cloud, including on networks with no internet connection.

  • Security

    Role-based access, encryption of data in transit and at rest, and an audit log of operator actions.

01Use cases

Use cases

How units use Skyrivet software in real missions.

  1. Close-up of a heavy-lift drone hub: battery charge LEDs, power button, carbon-fiber arms and orange arm locks
    01 / 03

    Tactical reconnaissance

    Scenario

    A platoon needs to see beyond the next ridge before it moves. The drone has to be in the air within minutes, and its video has to reach the commander, not only the pilot.

    How Skyrivet is used

    • The route and no-fly areas are prepared in Skyrivet Plan.
    • The operator flies and streams video with Skyrivet Command.
    • Positions and observations are shared with TAK devices in the unit.
    • The recorded flight is used for the debrief.
  2. Two hands working the control sticks of a drone remote controller outdoors, muted green field blurred behind

    Border surveillance

    Scenario

    Long stretches of border are watched day and night by a few teams, with drones flown in shifts. Each shift has to pick up where the previous one ended.

    How Skyrivet is used

    • Patrol routes are planned once and reused for every shift.
    • Flight logs and open observations pass from shift to shift.
    • Skyrivet Fleet tracks battery cycles and maintenance between patrols.
    • Detections are passed to the operations center as they happen.

    Fleet readiness

    Scenario

    A drone unit operates dozens of aircraft from different suppliers, each with its own payloads and maintenance schedule.

    How Skyrivet is used

    • Every airframe, battery and payload is recorded with its configuration.
    • Maintenance is planned from flight hours and cycles, not from memory.
    • Airworthiness records are kept for every aircraft.
    • Commanders see at a glance which systems are ready to fly.

Why Skyrivet

Why Skyrivet

  1. 01

    Built for defense

    Skyrivet builds software only for defense and security users. Interfaces, workflows and documentation are designed for operators under pressure, not adapted from consumer products.

  2. 02

    Modular

    Each product works on its own and with the others. Start with the module you need and add the rest when the mission calls for it.

  3. 03

    Open integration

    Designed to work with open defense standards and documented interfaces, so Skyrivet software fits the sensors, vehicles and command systems you already have.

  4. 04

    Your infrastructure, your data

    The software runs on your own servers, on sovereign cloud or at the edge. Mission data stays on infrastructure you control.

  5. 05

    Quick to deploy

    Packaged to install on standard servers and rugged laptops, with operator training included, so units can move from evaluation to use without a long integration project.

01Who uses it

Who uses it

  • Land forces

    Reconnaissance with small drones at platoon to brigade level.

  • Air forces and navies

    Larger drones, shipborne operations and airspace coordination.

  • Special forces

    Discreet operations where speed and a simple interface matter most.

  • Border guards and security agencies

    Long patrols in shifts and surveillance of critical areas.

Frequently asked questions

Which drones can Skyrivet Command control?

Drones whose control link follows STANAG 4586, and drones for which an integration exists. For any other platform, we assess the integration effort together during the first call.

Does it work without an internet connection?

Yes. All products can run on a local network or on a single laptop with no connection to the internet.

Can we start with one product?

Yes. Each product works on its own. Most teams start with Skyrivet Command or Skyrivet Plan and add the others later.

Is the software available in our country?

Availability depends on export control rules for each country and end user. We confirm it for your organization during the first call.
