We are proud to announce that Gap Drone has reached key milestones positioning our company to redefine middle-mile logistics in Australia and abroad. With $4 million raised to date, we are demonstrating that sovereign aerospace innovation can deliver practical solutions for national and international logistics challenges.
Our team recently completed successful sub-scale trials for our flagship Atlas-C platform, validating its long-range communications, autonomous take-off and landing, and remote operations. These results have set the stage for our next pivotal phase: full-scale testing, scheduled to begin in November 2025 across remote Queensland sites.
Our roadmap is built on a foundation of strategic partnerships and a clear commitment to sustainable, sovereign technology. Key initiatives include:
- Autonomous Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations.
- Modular payload integration for a wide range of applications, from medical to defence.
- ESG-aligned manufacturing collaborations with RMIT and One Composites.
- Ongoing engagement with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and regional stakeholders.
We are also finalising a joint venture in India, signaling our ambition to expand globally, while preparing for our next fundraising round to support post-testing scale-up.
At Gap Drone, we are building more than just an aircraft; we are developing a resilient logistics solution designed for modern supply chain challenges. We look forward to a public demonstration in early 2026 to showcase the Atlas-C’s full-scale capabilities.
