Skyfront is a Silicon Valley-based developer of advanced hybrid gas-electric multirotor drones that deliver unmatched endurance and heavy-lift capabilities for autonomous aerial data gathering, commercial operations, and defense missions worldwide.
Unmanned Systems Technology (UST) is pleased to announce the addition of Skyfront to our global supplier ecosystem. As a Silver Supplier, the company is showcasing its innovative hybrid drone technologies that are redefining what is possible with long-endurance multirotor aircraft.
With deployments in more than 20 countries and over 20,000 completed missions, Skyfront has established itself as a trusted provider of reliable aerial platforms for demanding commercial and military applications. Its NDAA-compliant and Blue UAS Select-certified systems have been fielded by the United States Army, Navy, and Air Force, offering operators enhanced efficiency, extended mission duration, and lower operational costs compared to traditional manned aviation assets.
Key products and capabilities include:
Perimeter 8 Hybrid Drone Platform – Long-endurance multirotor UAV featuring a proprietary fuel-injected gas-electric powertrain capable of carrying up to 10 kg for one hour or 5 kg for up to three hours.
Record-Breaking Flight Endurance – The Perimeter 8 previously set the world endurance record for multirotor drones, demonstrating industry-leading time-on-station capabilities.
Rapid Deployment Design – Fully operational in less than five minutes from transport case to takeoff, with a compact form factor suitable for commercial airline travel.
Extensive Payload Integration – Supports EO/IR gimbals, LiDAR scanners, mapping cameras, magnetometers, multispectral and hyperspectral sensors from leading industry manufacturers.
Advanced Communications & Navigation – Integration options include Starlink, LTE, Silvus MIMO radios, RTK GNSS, radar altimeters, and anti-jamming technologies for contested environments.
Versatile Mission Capability – Optimized for applications including LiDAR surveying, magnetometry, mining exploration, ISR, SIGINT, persistent surveillance, mine clearance, infrastructure protection, and precision agriculture.
Designed to overcome the endurance limitations of conventional battery-powered drones, the Perimeter 8 enables operators to cover larger areas, collect more data per flight, and conduct extended missions with fewer interruptions. Its modular architecture and heavy-lift capacity allow organizations to tailor the platform to a wide variety of operational requirements while maintaining exceptional efficiency and reliability.
