Engineering Services
Disciplined UAS engineering from requirements to flight readiness.
SkyForge supports platform, payload, autonomy, and manufacturing-readiness workstreams with a safety-first engineering process.
Service domains
Technical capability without startup theatre.
Systems Engineering
Requirements baselines, architecture definition, verification matrices, ICDs, and safety cases.
UAS Platform Development
Airframe configuration, propulsion selection, payload interfaces, and prototype programs.
Payload & Sensor Integration
Thermal, RGB zoom, LiDAR, edge AI, gimbal, connector, and power-interface design.
Embedded & Autonomy Engineering
PX4, ROS 2, MAVSDK, mission managers, telemetry, docking, and safety fallback logic.
Testing & Validation
Bench testing, HIL, simulation, tethered hover, free flight, inspection pattern trials, and FRACAS.
Manufacturing Readiness
Supplier strategy, inspection gates, NCR/CAPA, ECO control, MRL assessment, and pilot line planning.
Review gates
SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and FRR as operating language.
The service model centres on traceable decisions, documented validation evidence, and controlled progression into higher-risk test stages.
Requirements Analysis
Mission envelope, stakeholders, regulatory constraints, payload requirements, and verification plan.
Concept Design
Airframe class, subsystem architecture, payload interface, risk register, and design assumptions.
Simulation
Gazebo/ROS 2 mission logic, HIL preparation, autonomy behaviours, and fault injection.
Prototype Development
Mechanical integration, electronics bay, power architecture, firmware stack, and payload fitment.
Testing & Validation
Bench, tethered hover, free flight, waypoint missions, inspection patterns, and FRACAS capture.
Certification Pathway
CASA, ACMA, WHS, privacy, export-control, and product safety evidence gathering.
Deployment Planning
Operator procedures, maintenance plans, docking workflows, spares, documentation, and customer readiness.
Continuous Improvement
Flight data review, non-conformance control, CAPA, ECOs, and manufacturing readiness gates.
