Utah-based company Robotic Skies specializes in providing professional maintenance, repair, and inspection programs to keep unmanned aircraft systems running safely and productively. Now, after boasting a new service partnership with Australian drone technology company Emesent, they're making it possible for users in the Americas to get their Emesent products serviced and repaired locally.

Emesent’s flagship product, Hovermap, is an autonomy and mapping payload capable of capturing high resolution data above ground or underground, indoors or out. Through this newfound partnership with Robotic Skies, their products and more are becoming more accessible and attainable in the domestic market, demonstrating yet another way that the Utah AAM industry is innovating today.

The Robotic Skies network of over 140 service centers through the Americas will now support Emesent products as their use continues to grow. "We're excited to add Emesent's advanced UAS and LiDAR technologies to our extensive support capabilities, and we look forward to helping customers throughout America stay ready for any mission," said Brad Hayden, Founder and CEO of Robotic Skies.
