Clogworks at the Commercial UAV Show 2018

info • 2 December 2018

London, Excel

Clogworks Technologies Limited and our partner Sky-Drones were exhibiting once again at the Commercial UAV Show this year. The event held on 14-15th November 2018 in London, Excel, was very successful and it was fantastic to see so many people visit our booth, no 27.

As well as a duotone Dark Matter hX especially suitable for high temperature environments, we showcased the latest user-friendly ground control station software on a variety of platforms and an example of the new ground control station rugged case. The new GCS software integrates both Airmap and Altitude Angel drone safety maps for improved operators' awareness.

As ever, we took this opportunity to discuss exciting developments amongst the Clogworks and Sky-drones teams, as well as with international partners and suppliers present at the Show.

It was a very positive couple of days with lots of requests and queries about our tailored solutions that could benefit many operators involved in different UAV applications from security, mapping, inspections, environment monitoring and deliveries to name a few!


Kirill Shilov, CEO of Sky-Drones, gave a presentation at the seminar theatre 3 on Thursday morning entitled " The Technology behind Sky-Drones Clogworks Professional Unmanned Aerial Solutions for Enterprise". It discussed the capability of the SmartAP-Clogworks flight controller with optimal integration in our Dark Matter platform and showcased some customers' applications.


Thank you from the teams to all who came to listen to the talk and/ or visit our booth during the Commercial UAV Show! It was lovely to meet you all and hear about your operations, development projects and challenges!

The Dark Matter® hX and qD Gen 3 are the new 2025 versions of our proven aircraft. So, what's new? On the exterior, our striking design bares a lot of resemblance to the first generation. We have also kept the modular aspects, providing better flexibility and future-proofing for our customers. But don't let that fool you in to thinking that's all we have changed. Benefitting of years of customers feedback and continuous improvement as well as the industry development in avionics, sensors and batteries, these systems are better than ever! The payload capacity is improved further thanks to our new bespoke drivetrain and stronger chassis. These aircraft offer up to 84 minutes flight time each. The aircraft are designed for quick deployment; assembly can be conducted in a couple of minutes in the field without the need of a single tool. We can integrate gimballed EO, IR or dual sensor cameras to replace our previously fixed FPV camera, leaving the payload bay free for further sensors. The platforms are compatible with a wide range of payloads from partners we have been working with over the years and new ones. The systems can be configured with various tethers, cameras, Lidars or emergency response equipment, to name but a few.  These aircraft are therefore capable of conducting many aerial applications.
