Industrial & Civil Applications

Beyond defense — drones for industrial scale.

SDR's drone platform extends from defense into industrial and civil operations: 24/7 tethered infrastructure monitoring, multi-drone agricultural smart-farms, swarm-coordinated industrial operations, and 3D-printed distributed manufacturing. The same flight control, mesh networking, and integrated avionics — adapted for the cadence of energy, utilities, agriculture, and public-safety operators.

Infrastructure ISR

24/7 persistent monitoring · Refineries, substations, ports, perimeters

SDR's T-dori platform repurposed for industrial infrastructure surveillance — a tethered drone holding station 100 meters above critical assets, transmitting continuous high-resolution imagery and thermal data over the same fiber-optic line that powers it. 24-hour endurance with a 25-minute untethered dash mode for inspecting adjacent assets. Deployed for refineries, transmission substations, port perimeters, and oil & gas facilities.

Multi-Drone
Civil Swarm

1 GCS, unlimited airframes · Wide-area industrial coordination

One pilot easily controls a group of drones. SDR's flagship Multi Flight Software (MFS) — the same swarm-control architecture used in Korean defense — adapted for industrial wide-area operations. A single ground-control station commands heterogeneous drone fleets via FANET mesh networking, with real-time satellite telemetry, formation grouping, AI path deconfliction, and one-click formation flight.

Smart Farm
Agri Platform

Multi-drone field operations · Spraying, sensing, surveying

SDR's smart-farm system extends the multi-drone control platform into agricultural operations — coordinated multi-airframe spraying, multispectral crop sensing, and yield mapping over wide field areas. Operated by single-pilot ground-control, scaling from individual farm parcels to regional agricultural cooperatives. Featured by Korean public broadcaster KBS (6시 내고향) for multi-drone formation farming.

Industrial Multirotor

Long-endurance heavy-lift · Energy, utilities, mapping

Carbon-fiber heavy-lift multirotor engineered for extended-duration industrial work — oil & gas pipeline inspection, transmission-line surveying, large-scale photogrammetry, and mapping. Operated alongside U.S. operators in Fulton County, GA for oil & gas infrastructure protection, with active programs in agriculture and public safety across nine markets.

On-site airframe printing · Field-replaceable platforms

SDR's 3D-printed VT-Tail enables an entirely different industrial paradigm — airframes printed on-site at the customer location, anywhere in the world. Replacement components, mission-specific variants, and rapid-iteration prototypes produced from a single CAD library. Reduces logistics burden, accelerates field replacement, and enables operators to manufacture drones in-theater rather than waiting on global supply chains.
