Advanced UAS Inspections Driving Safety and Efficiency Across Industries

Sky-Futures™ has conducted more than 100,000 hours of operational flights in countries worldwide. Our two-person, onsite operational model ensures that a qualified inspection engineer and remote pilot are always working in tandem to deliver the precise visual, thermal, gas, and/or material integrity data you need to fully assess risk across your infrastructure, even in the most challenging onshore and offshore environments. We don’t just gather the data — we report and analyse it based on your specifications to provide actionable insights that enable fast, confident decisions and response times.

Visual Inspection

We provide comprehensive inspection solutions, including visual and thermal inspections, external, and internal assessments, wind turbine inspections, storage tank evaluations, and DROPS surveys. Utilising advanced technologies, we ensure the safety and integrity of your assets.

Gas Emission Detection & Quantification

Our emissions detection services cover multiple gases in line with OGMP 2.0 standards. We use cutting-edge gas detection technologies to conduct fugitive emissions surveys top-down (whole asset) and bottom-up (source level) to help you identify and mitigate environmental impacts effectively, as well as monitor other key outputs, such as flare efficiency.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

Sky-Futures delivers precise non-destructive testing (NDT) and ultrasonic testing (UT) solutions. We operate both externally and within confined spaces, using advanced uncrewed ground and aerial systems. Our NDT services provide high-quality data on structural integrity without causing damage, supporting long-term asset safety and performance.

Advanced Mapping and 3D Modelling

We specialise in advanced mapping services, including digital twin creation and orthomosaic capabilities. By combining tripod-mounted LiDAR scanning with aerial datasets, we produce detailed 3D models that aid in planning, analysis, and monitoring.

ISR & Protective Operations

Sky-Futures is owned and operated by former military ISR specialists with thousands of hours experience flying UAS in complex, high-risk and contested environments. Our team also brings deep experience in security risk management and intelligence support for government, non-profit and public sector clients operating in high-threat contexts globally. Backed by a global fleet of rotary, and fixed-wing (including VTOL) platforms, we support clients with bespoke security and surveillance operations. Our services include consultancy, training, embedded remote pilot teams, live intelligence gathering, counter-UAS support, red teaming, and penetration testing – all designed to strengthen asset protection and improve situational awareness. We help clients make faster, safer, more informed decisions.

Consultancy and R&D

With years of experience in challenging operational settings, we don’t just deliver services — we help clients explore new ways of solving complex technical problems. From unconventional use cases to prototyping and workflow innovation, we’ve supported clients on everything from new inspection methodologies to tough first-of-kind projects. We also provide consultancy and planning support for early-stage programmes.
