Our take
Maintaining smooth cargo shipments is essential to the integrity of supply chains, something that is equally important to both businesses and military forces. Such logistics are generally handled by cars and trucks, but this greatly limits the efficiency of routes and can negatively impact stealth for military supply chains.
Skyways develops AI-driven autonomous delivery drones that are focused on reducing supply chain bottlenecks for military forces as well as businesses. The company is currently developing its V3 drone, set to replace its current V2. With nearly 200 test flights already performed, its set to hit the market later in 2026.
Whilst offense and defense drones are commonplace in today’s military landscape, Skyways has identified the gap in the market of low-flying and autonomous delivery drones, helping to reduce loads carried by troops, increase resupply capabilities, and lower detection rates. The company currently focuses on facilitating military deliveries but shows promise to improve last-mile eCommerce order fulfilment in the future.
