SKYDATA

Assisting Tomorrow's Decision with Today's Intelligent Data

SKYDATA LLC was born from a meeting of two very different paths — one rooted in aviation, the other in corporate strategy — united by a shared curiosity for innovation and a drive to do things better.

One founder, an airline pilot, had spent years mastering the precision, safety, and discipline of flight operations. The other had spent two decades leading in the corporate world, managing teams, solving complex business challenges, and understanding how data shapes smarter decisions. Together, they saw a gap — and an opportunity.

Drone technology was advancing rapidly, yet many organizations struggled to turn aerial imagery into meaningful insights. The two founders realized they could merge their experiences — one’s deep technical knowledge of flight and the other’s strategic approach to operations and client service — to deliver data with purpose, not just pixels.

With that vision, SKYDATA was launched. The early days were hands-on: testing aircraft in all weather conditions, building workflows, learning how to turn drone missions into valuable data products for clients. The goal was simple but powerful — bring aviation-level safety and professionalism to the emerging world of drone services, while maintaining the reliability and business focus clients expect from a trusted partner. As SKYDATA grew, so did its capabilities. What began with a single drone and a shared passion has evolved into a full-service operation providing aerial inspection, mapping, and data analysis across New England and beyond. The company now serves clients in construction, energy, infrastructure, and real estate — always guided by the same principles that sparked its creation: accuracy, integrity, and innovation.

At SKYDATA, every mission still begins the same way — with careful planning, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence. Whether it’s a high-stakes inspection or a complex mapping project, the team approaches each flight with the precision of a pilot and the perspective of a business strategist.

From the cockpit to the conference room, SKYDATA'S founders continue to lead with the belief that better data leads to better decisions — and that technology, when combined with human expertise, can help organizations see the world from a higher vantage point.

At SKYDATA, expertise means more than operating drones — it’s about delivering precision, insight, and confidence with every mission.

Our team brings together decades of experience in aviation, technology, and corporate operations. We combine the precision and safety standards of professional pilots with the strategic thinking and efficiency of seasoned business leaders. The result is a unique approach that bridges technical skill with real-world application.

Every mission is carefully planned and executed using FAA-compliant procedures, advanced drone technology, and proven workflows designed for reliability and accuracy. From industrial inspections and construction mapping to aerial imaging and data analytics, we deliver results that meet the highest standards of safety and performance.

But we don’t stop at data collection — we turn information into understanding. By translating complex aerial data into actionable insights, SKYDATA helps organizations make informed decisions that improve safety, efficiency, and outcomes.

Whether supporting infrastructure projects, monitoring assets, or providing detailed aerial surveys, SKYDATA is committed to excellence in every flight — combining technology, training, and trust to help our clients see the full picture from above.

SKYDATA - Monitoring Your Assets, Maximizing Your Insights.

SKYDATA specializes in providing safe, efficient, and intelligent aerial data solutions for high-demand industries. Our expertise spans the energy sector, civil engineering, construction planning and development, and urban mapping — delivering accurate 2D and 3D data for maintenance, inspection, and planning purposes.

We excel in performing high-risk inspections and investigations in non-entry, confined, or hazardous environments, where sending people is difficult or dangerous. Using advanced drone technology and experienced remote pilots, SKYDATA captures the critical data you need — safely, quickly, and cost-effectively.

By eliminating the need for scaffolding, cranes, climbing gear, or large on-site teams, our operations dramatically reduce both risk and cost. What once required days of setup and manpower can now be accomplished in a fraction of the time — without ever putting human life in harm’s way. 

At SKYDATA, we deliver more than images — we provide actionable insights that help you monitor, maintain, and manage your assets with confidence.

Power Grid Inspection

With SKYDATA flexible per-flight, monthly, or annual plans, our clients avoid the heavy investment of building an in-house drone program — including certifications, safety protocols, hardware and software, manpower, maintenance, and creation of official manuals such as SOPs or FOMs.

We deliver the data and insights you need, exactly when you need them, 24/7. By handling all operational, technical, and regulatory requirements, SKYDATA removes the burden from your team and provides reliable, actionable datasets that help your business plan, operate, and perform more efficiently.

All of this is delivered at a fraction of the cost of maintaining an internal drone program, allowing you to focus on your core business while we manage the drones, compliance, and technology.

Water enrichment & Urban green area Survey

We are proud to contribute to a greener, more sustainable world by helping organizations manage natural resources more efficiently. Our specialized drones can support environmental and resource surveys, including water quality monitoring, forest and vegetation assessments, urban green space mapping, and more — providing accurate data to guide smarter, eco-conscious decisions.

SKYDATA's agricultural drones provide precise, actionable data to help farmers make informed decisions on pesticide application, seed growth, yield predictions, and more. Equipped with RTK technology, our drones deliver sub-centimeter accuracy — satellite-grade data at a fraction of the cost.


SKYDATA is FAA-approved and holds waivers to legally operate beyond visual line of sight, above 400 ft, and at night when the mission requires it. Every operation is preceded by thorough risk assessments, and complex missions are simulated in advance to ensure safety and accuracy. This allows your business to receive critical strategic data reliably and worry-free.

WHAT IS LiDAR?

LiDAR stands for Light Detection And Ranging - It is a detection system which works on the principle of radar, but uses light from a laser. The sensor emit pulses of laser and analyse the return - or bounce - of laser from the environment. It does not rely on the ambient light and can be used at night as well. It produce extremely accurate 3D Models that can geolocalized and accurate to below 1 cm precision and real-world measurement can be derived from these 3D Models.

WHAT IS PHOTOGRAMMETRY?

Photogrammetry is the science of collecting physical information from 2D photos, often aerial images captured by drones. By combining enough overlapping images of the same features, photogrammetry software can be used to generate photorealistic 3D representations of topographic surfaces.

WHAT IS THERMAL / FLIR?

FLIR stands for Forward-Looking Infra-Red camera and it is used to extrapolate thermal information from the environment. Common uses are for Thermal leak on building facade and roof - or to inspect heated elements such as electric pylons, etc.

WHAT IS INSPECTION & INVESTIGATION?

Inspection is the use made of drone to access assets and through sensors take video and still pictures to assess the state of the asset and plan maintenance program required. Investigation is made by drone to locate and help the analysis of malfunctions and help the decision making process by providing thorough informations. The use of drone is safer and more cost effective.
