Golden, CO, November 03, 2025 - Cyberhawk™, a world leader in drone-based inspections and aerial data management for critical infrastructure, has been appointed as a global drone service provider for Skygauge Robotics, the creators of the Skygauge UAS system. The Skygauge is an innovative, fluid-form drone, designed and built specifically for the capture of ultrasonic thickness (UT) inspections on industrial assets. This partnership marks an exciting expansion of Cyberhawk’s capabilities, enabling the delivery of UT inspections using the Skygauge to customers anywhere in the world.
The Skygauge is a thrust‑vectoring drone engineered to make consistent physical contact with surfaces at any angle for highly repeatable and reliable ultrasonic thickness readings. The Skygauge allows UT measurements to be taken safely and efficiently at height or in hazardous or confined spaces, eliminating the need for equipment shutdowns or for technicians to be working at height or from ropes.
As a global service provider, Cyberhawk can now mobilize the Skygauge to projects across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. This brings advanced ultrasonic thickness inspection capabilities directly to customers in the oil and gas, power generation and nuclear sectors.
All UT data collected by the Skygauge will be seamlessly integrated into iHawk, Cyberhawk’s cloud-based aerial data management platform. This integration allows customers to view, analyze, and trend thickness measurements alongside their existing asset data, providing a comprehensive, digital overview of asset condition and integrity.
“Becoming a global service provider for Skygauge represents another step forward in Cyberhawk’s mission to deliver safer, smarter, and more efficient inspection solutions,” said Callum Hoffie, Technical Manager at Cyberhawk. “By combining the Skygauge’s precision capabilities with our iHawk platform, we’re giving asset owners a new level of insight and control over their inspection data.”
Cyberhawk has already deployed the Skygauge for a major nuclear energy producer in the UK, marking one of the first large-scale applications of this technology in the nuclear sector. The project demonstrates the versatility and reliability of the Skygauge when combined with Cyberhawk’s operational expertise in inspecting critical assets such as storage tanks, exhaust stacks and ship hulls.
Nikita Iliushkin, Chief Commercial Officer at Skygauge Robotics, added "Cyberhawk's global reach and expertise in drone-based inspections make them a perfect match for our Skygauge drone. The integration of UT data captured by the Skygauge into their iHawk platform brings a new level of transparency and ease of use for asset owners, enabling them to make data-informed decisions. Cyberhawk’s recent work with the Skygauge in the nuclear sector already proves the value of this partnership, and we’re excited to grow together globally."
Cyberhawk continues to lead the industry in drone-based inspection and aerial data management solutions, with operations spanning over 40 countries and more than a decade of experience supporting critical energy infrastructure.

About Skygauge Robotics
Skygauge Robotics is a Canadian robotics manufacturer that’s redefining industrial inspections through advanced drones. The Skygauge UT drone is a thrust‑vectoring, ultrasonic‑inspection drone engineered to make physical contact with infrastructure - like storage tanks, pipes, chimneys, bridges, and ships - enabling non‑destructive testing that’s 5 to 20 times faster and dramatically safer than traditional rope or scaffold methods. By eliminating the need for workers at height, Skygauge boosts inspection speed and cuts costs by up to 95%, setting new standards for safety and operational efficiency in energy, civil infrastructure, and beyond. With new applications for the drone, the company vision is to build the Drone Workforce in the Skies.
