Volatus Aerospace Inc. has launched SKYDRA™, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed to support operational planning and simulation for Counter-UAS (C-UAS).
The platform represents the company’s first SaaS offering and introduces a digital capability within the Volatus defence portfolio to support structured planning, simulation, and readiness exercises for counter-drone operations. Supported by patent-pending intellectual property, SKYDRA™ provides organizations with a secure virtual environment to conduct structured planning, simulation, and table-top exercises before operational deployment.
The launch comes as global developments highlight the increasing use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in asymmetric conflict and against critical infrastructure. Industry reports estimate the global C-UAS market could exceed $20 billion by 2030, driven by demand for airspace security, defence modernization, and the protection of critical infrastructure.
The platform is intended for use by armed forces, public safety agencies, and operators of sensitive infrastructure including airports, ports, energy facilities, and other strategic sites.
Glen Lynch, Chief Executive Officer of Volatus Aerospace, stated, “The global threat landscape involving unmanned systems continues to evolve. SKYDRA™ represents an important milestone for Volatus as our first SaaS platform and establishes a recurring software revenue stream within our defence strategy. By enabling virtual planning and readiness exercises, we are expanding our ability to support customers beyond hardware into digital operational capability.”
Volatus Aerospace will offer SKYDRA™ under subscription-based licensing structures, including enterprise deployments and evaluation programs. The company expects the platform to complement its broader CUAS and aerospace capabilities. Further commercial updates will be provided as material agreements are executed.
