UPlatforms specialises in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) design and manufacturing. Our goal is to provide advanced, yet affordable unmanned platforms optimised for public safety and commercial applications.
Having previous experience in the defence industry, we decided to redirect our efforts into what reflects our values. The ultimate goal of UPlatforms is to design Drones for good, drones that serve people.
We are taking the project every step of the way, design the platform from scratch, building airframe in-house and flight-testing the system ourselves.
