Drone Forge is an Australian uncrewed systems integrator and lifecycle capability provider supporting defence, government and critical infrastructure clients across air, land and maritime domains.
We specialise in the deployment, integration and sustainment of advanced uncrewed aerial (UAV), surface (USV) and sub-surface (UUV) systems for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), maritime domain awareness, force protection and critical asset monitoring.
Drone Forge bridges the gap between advanced global OEM technology and operational end-users. We deliver mission-ready capability through system acquisition, regulatory compliance, certified training, operational support and full through-life sustainment.
Our model ensures customers receive not just a platform, but a complete, deployable and supportable capability aligned to defence operational requirements.
Through our integrated structure - including insurance and lifecycle services – Drone Forge is uniquely positioned to provide end-to-end uncrewed capability solutions within Australia and our global market base.
