SkyX is a natural fit. Beyond their top-tier vehicles, SkyX has built the whole suite of complementary technologies to deliver on the promise of these autonomous systems. The ground stations, the back-end management software, and the data analytics platform – it’s all coming together with the UAV to get customers the data they need, the way they need it. It’s quite a remarkable feat,” says Tim Heely. “There’s an incredible team behind what SkyX has accomplished, I’m very much looking forward to working with them to support and influence the incredible momentum this company is in the midst of.” Didi Horn, SkyX Founder & CEO, says: “Aside from a storied career in the unmanned aerial industry, Tim brings a military acumen that is a major asset for the team.
