Extend Your Reach with Advanced Technologies
Utilizing SkyView's cutting-edge drones and thermal imaging capabilities offers an opportunity to ensure the safety and functionality of your assets, including power lines, solar arrays, critical infrastructure, and more. SkyView Analytics' advanced inspection and analysis methods provide precise, real-time data, enabling early detection of potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs or outages. By partnering with SkyView Analytics, utilities companies, railroads, solar developers, individuals, and government entities can enhance their predictive maintenance planning, significantly reducing downtime and improving service reliability.
We use the Skydio X10 drone exclusively. It is on the leading edge of drone flight, thermal imaging, AI processes, 3D mapping, ultra high resolution cameras and more.
No matter your requirements, SkyView Analytics will get the job done with robust, reliable results.

SkyView Analytics provides (CI) Critical Infrastructure inspection service focusing on predictive/preventative failure of assets. With the latest state of the art drone technology, we can capture three types of analysis; 1. Thermal Imaging, 2. RGB (Red/Green/Blue) images, 3. Orthomosaic 3D modeling & mapping.
SkyView Analytics partners with utilities, solar developers and owners, government and private entities, and railroads to assist in achieving asset management goals. Using the latest small unmanned aerial system (sUAS) and thermal imaging technology we increase our partners’ efficiency, safety, and accuracy in determining asset conditions, and predictive maintenance, and critical asset planning.
Service Sectors
The US currently recognizes 16 individual Critical Infrastructure Sectors. Of those 16 Sectors, SkyView Analytics provides services in six of those sectors. Those individual sectors are:
Emergency Service Sector
In this sector, our mission is to aid agencies involved in public safety and security via our technically advanced drones. Our thermal and optics package is second to none. Whether it be aiding in search and recovery, threat assistance, or public safety following natural disasters, our services stand ready to assist.
Energy Sector
Within the Energy Sector, our goal is to help clients get a complete visual assessment of assets. Our area of expertise is within utility distribution, utility and commercial scale solar, and wind turbines.
Food & Agriculture Sector
In this sector, we are positioned to help our agricultural clients by locating and assessing the scope and severity of insect infestations. We can quickly discover the nature of any damage to guide clients on optimal deployment of assets for mitigation.
Government Services and Facilities Sector
SkyView Analytics is a registered State, and Federal contractor ready to assist in various projects and initiatives requiring drone services.
Transportation Systems Sector
We can assist in detection of delamination in concrete pavements, overlay de-bounding, and voids in concrete decks, as well as quality control during asphalt paving.
Water and Wastewater Sector
Drones can be used to inspect water treatment plants and other water-related infrastructure to locate and assess any deterioration or other anomalies. We can provide detailed analysis from a safe distance.
The Skydio X10
Advanced tech brings real results, saving time and money, and ensuring accurate, actionable information.
Advanced Thermal Imaging
The Skydio X10 integrates a FLIR Boson+ sensor, delivering the highest quality thermal imaging. Capable of resolutions of 640 x 512 px and offering increased sensitivity down to <=30 mK, the X10 delivers accurate radiometric readings, even in hot weather.
High Resolution Zoom
Able to detect a 0.1 mm crack in concrete at 1m under a bridge in low light, the onboard cameras are able to capture crucial details even in low light. You can be sure results will be crystal clear for exacting analysis.
Connectivity Anywhere
We can pilot our drone 7.5 miles out and still maintain connection, even further if necessary on 5G. Six frequency bands and AES-256 encryption ensures we can cover your assets no matter where they are located.
AI Navigation, and Modeling
Sophisticated AI and the most advanced sensors in the world see and solve complex navigation in real time. An advanced Spatial AI Engine provides detailed 3D and 2D Modeling instantly, enabling immediate action and avoiding repeat missions.
