This contract will deploy the SwissDrones SDO50, integrated with Xplorate’s advanced sensor suite, for large-scale Right of Way (ROW) monitoring. However, this isn’t just about flying. It’s about transforming how critical infrastructure is managed.   Using AI and machine learning, Xplorate will process large volumes of geospatial and visual data to predict maintenance needs, reduce operational risk, and maximise asset lifespan — delivering real value to our customers and demonstrating the readiness of unmanned aviation at scale. This project is more than a milestone. It reinforces market readiness for BVLOS operations. It validates our customer-first technology strategy. And it delivers real shareholder value through scalable, data-driven infrastructure solutions. A huge thank you to our team and partners who continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in unmanned systems and data intelligence. ## Related posts [![](https://blog.xplorate.io/hs-fs/hubfs/_MG_3293.jpeg?height=200&name=_MG_3293.jpeg)](https://blog.xplorate.io/blog/milestone-update-xplorate-selected-for-australian-federal-government-panel?hsLang=en-gb) ## [Milestone Update: Xplorate Selected for Australian Federal Government Panel](https://blog.xplorate.io/blog/milestone-update-xplorate-selected-for-australian-federal-government-panel?hsLang=en-gb) [Ronnie Fahy](https://blog.xplorate.io/blog/author/ronnie-fahy) 22/7/25, 3:30 pm We’re proud to announce that Xplorate Pacific has been selected as a supplier for the Department of...
