In addition, this development further expands FlyAlchemy’s service portfolio by integrating advanced magnetometry into the established FlyAlchemy LiDAR, multi and hyperspectral imagery, and Full Motion Video (FMV – with color, thermal, ATAC- Advanced Traffic Analysis Center, Blue Force Tracking and live mapping capabilities) solutions. This expanded offering meets the rigorous requirements of enterprise engineering, ISR, infrastructure, BVLOS, and defense applications for both U.S. and international customers.

The integrated FlyAlchemy-Skyfront drone-based magnetometry solution is ideal for the following applications:

 

  • Finding abandoned wellheads in oil & gas fields,
  • Detecting buried UXO/landmines in military zones,
  • Mapping underground pipelines in energy utility rights-of-way,
  • Locating subsurface features for mineral, petroleum, and resource exploration.

 

Notably, FlyAlchemy has successfully supported delivery and trained Perimeter 8+ customers in Latin America and the Middle East, positioning FlyAlchemy as a trusted partner for government and private organizations alike.

FlyAlchemy’s expertise in dissecting complex problem sets and matching phenomena to the ideal sensor payload and workflow is a market differentiator. By expediting the time to answer and providing detailed, hands-on training, our customers benefit from reduced accident rates and increased operational confidence—ensuring that Skyfront’s DIU cleared BLUE LIST UAS & NDAA-compliant Perimeter 8+ reaches its full potential.

“Our partnership with Skyfront enables us to offer a complete ecosystem of advanced UAS solutions,” said Conrad Wright, CEO of FlyAlchemy. “With our proven, commercial-scale workflows and robust training programs for a variety of payloads and applications, we empower our customers to reach data-driven decisions more quickly and with confidence. We’re not just selling hardware; we’re delivering a comprehensive solution package that transforms how our clients operate.”
