About this report
European security and industry increasingly rely on advanced sensing and unmanned systems to inspect and secure critical infrastructure. Flyability SA, a Swiss robotics spin-off of EPFL, has pioneered collision-tolerant indoor drones for confined-space inspection.
Its flagship Elios series – rugged, cage-protected multicopter drones equipped with computer-vision SLAM and multi-sensor payloads – keep humans out of hazardous environments in sectors from nuclear power to maritime. This analysis examines Flyability’s strategic-technical profile in the context of European strategic autonomy and NATO objectives.
