🦏 A NIGHT OF PURPOSE, PASSION & PROGRESS

On 3 October, Avior Labs was proud to be part of the Dancing for Rhinos Gala, supporting a cause that is close to our hearts: rhino conservation.

A huge congratulations to the entire Dancing for Rhinos team on an incredible performance at the theatre! 🎭 This first theatre production marks a significant milestone and a big step forward for the initiative. Your dedication, passion and commitment to conservation are truly inspiring.

We were honoured to stand alongside you on stage with our Elevation UAV, representing how technology can play a valuable role in wildlife protection and anti-poaching efforts.

Here’s to celebrating milestones, raising awareness and continuing to make a difference for our rhinos! 💚

We’re proud to have our Elevation VTOL platform featured at Dancing for Rhinos – Her Story, Our Journey on 3 October in Pretoria.

Designed for long-endurance aerial surveillance, Elevation can support anti-poaching and conservation teams with real-time aerial awareness, day and night monitoring, and autonomous mission capabilities — helping teams cover more ground and make better-informed decisions.

Because protecting wildlife takes more than passion. It takes innovation, collaboration, and technology with a purpose. 🦏

While many standard multispectral drone systems are limited to four spectral bands, the Elevation-S is equipped with the MicaSense RedEdge-P, providing a dedicated Blue band alongside a high-resolution panchromatic sensor.

Why does this matter?
The Blue band unlocks advanced vegetation indices such as the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI), enabling earlier detection of crop stress, improved w**d classification, and more detailed analysis of vegetation health.
Combined with pan-sharpening, the RedEdge-P delivers high-resolution multispectral imagery that supports applications ranging from precision agriculture to AI-driven plant analysis.

For us, it's not just about collecting more data—it's about collecting better data that enables smarter decisions.
Because the future of precision agriculture isn't just seeing where a problem exists; it's understanding what the problem is before it's visible to the naked eye.

A great second day at the Drone & Unmanned Aviation Conference 2026!

Today, Dr Bennie Broughton shared Avior Labs' perspective on the future of unmanned systems in the utilities and energy sectors, exploring the technologies that will enable the next generation of autonomous UAV operations.

The presentation covered the performance required to achieve the range and endurance needed to survey and protect expansive infrastructure, combining advances in aerodynamics, power harvesting, system efficiencies, and battery technology.

It also highlighted the importance of developing autonomous platforms with future regulatory frameworks in mind. By considering requirements such as Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) from the outset, new technologies can be designed to integrate seamlessly into tomorrow's operating environments.

Finally, the discussion explored the intelligence that powers autonomous systems. Rather than simply flying a drone, operators will increasingly assign a task, with advanced onboard algorithms interpreting intent, understanding the environment, managing the mission, and delivering actionable intelligence.

Thank you to everyone who attended the session and contributed to the discussions throughout the conference. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry leaders and showcase the innovations shaping the future of unmanned aviation.

25/06/2026

And we're off!

The Avior Labs team is ready for two days of connecting with the organisations and individuals driving innovation across the unmanned aviation industry.

We're looking forward to meeting fellow operators, technology providers, regulators, and industry partners, and to the conversations that help move our industry forward.

If you're attending the Drone & Unmanned Aviation Conference 2026, come visit us at our stand—we'd love to connect.

As the unmanned aviation industry continues to evolve, practical experience remains one of the most valuable perspectives in shaping what comes next.

With more than 30 years of experience across aerospace engineering, flight control systems, navigation, optimisation, simulation, and VTOL platform development, Dr Bennie Broughton has spent his career turning complex technologies into operational capabilities.

Join us at the Drone & Unmanned Aviation Conference 2026 to hear his perspective on emerging technologies, industry challenges, and the future of unmanned systems in utility and energy operations.
