Xplorate Enhances Global RPAS Leadership with the New SDO 50V3 Delivery
Perth, Australia – Xplorate has successfully received its latest SDO 50 V3 Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) from SwissDrones, significantly bolstering its fleet and solidifying its status as a leader in long-range, uncrewed aerial systems tailored for critical infrastructure.
This fleet expansion arrives amidst an increasing market demand for reliable and efficient RPAS platforms capable of servicing extensive linear infrastructure. The SDO 50 V3 is strategically designed for this purpose, featuring Swiss-engineered rotorcraft abilities to transport multiple payloads over long distances while maintaining precise hovering capabilities, even in adverse weather conditions.
“The SDO 50 V3 is an exceptional choice for linear infrastructure missions,” stated Ronnie Fahy, CEO of Xplorate. “Its versatile payload options, durability, and dependability make it perfect for operations involving powerlines, pipelines, and environmental corridors, particularly in remote or high-risk areas.”
This delivery represents a pivotal progression for Xplorate as it gears up to fulfill a growing array of long-term, high-value contracts both within Australia and internationally. These contracts encompass diverse fields including energy, utilities, and environmental services—each demanding complex operational strategies and stringent requirements regarding safety, data integrity, and environmental considerations.
Mr. Fahy emphasized, “We are not merely reacting to short-term market demands or expanding our fleet for the sake of it. Our objective is to secure multi-year agreements that highlight a significant shift within the market. Our clients envision a future where uncrewed aviation is integral to their daily operations—platforms like the SDO 50 are vital to achieving that vision.”
The SDO 50’s distinct features, which include its helicopter-like flight capabilities, Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operation, and adaptable sensor integration, distinguish it in the RPAS landscape. This functionality allows Xplorate to implement scalable aerial services without sacrificing safety, quality, or operational versatility.
As the industry transitions from manned to uncrewed aviation, Xplorate is ideally positioned to spearhead this evolution. By focusing on acquiring the right aircraft and prioritizing mission-critical outcomes, the company is aligning its technology and strategy with the future needs of infrastructure owners and operators.
