About

We operate drone security systems in some of the toughest mining and critical infrastructure environments in Southern Africa. We deliver regulated, compliant and operationally disciplined drone security services for clients who cannot afford failure. Our operating framework includes: - 24/7/365 aerial surveillance - SACAA Part 101 approved operations - ISO 9001 14001 45001 certified systems - BARS aligned aviation standards To strengthen our operational capability, we maintain in house UAV manufacturing capability through our sister company Sky Robots and structured commercial pilot training programmes that support our security operations through our Aviation Training Organisation. We build scalable, quality driven aerial drone security infrastructure designed for mining, critical infrastructure and high-risk assets across Africa. Safety, systems, quality and our people are our competitive advantage. About Me Aviation and security are my second career. Two decades in international investment banking across South Africa, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates shaped how I build and lead highly regulated operations. Today, I lead structured, compliant drone security systems in an industry where discipline and safety are non-negotiable. I hold a Master’s degree in Human Resource Management from Middlesex University and I am a Chartered HR Professional with the South African Board of People Practices. I have also contributed to Amazon #1 best sellers: Drone Professional 1, 2, 3 and 4.
