Carbonix offers ISR capabilities proven in theatre – with a fleet active in Ukraine since 2024, as well as users in the US and Spain since 2017. Our complete ISR solution offers persistent loiter, long-range, a steady stable platform, and superior tolerance to adverse conditions (weather, EW, logistics).
Carbonix has the capability to develop mission-specific solutions in-house with design, manufacturing, testing, training, and sustainment all under one roof. This represents a unique sovereign capability for Australia, and an ITAR-free turnkey solution for allied and aligned military customers.
Carbonix platforms are payload agnostic, with ISR cameras integrated from various leading providers. Feeds include EO, thermal, IR, tracking, and target designation capabilities.
We understand the needs of military operators in the field, in the real world. Our proven solutions offer persistent, reliable situational awareness to empower the war fighter with superior information in real time.
Military applications that a Carbonix RPAS can support are:
Law enforcement agencies throughout the world are always seeking out new ways of gathering evidence and tracking down criminals. With the increased need for surveillance and eyes on scene operations, police and border control agencies are turning to drones for quicker and more accurate results for a fraction of the cost of a conventional manned approach. Using ISR gimbal payloads, law enforcement agencies can get real time and uninterrupted aerial surveillance broadcast to several departments like never before. Conventional manned flights are notoriously expensive, intermittent due to priority of targets and fuel capacity and not always available when they are needed. By incorporating drone technology for monitoring efforts, law enforcement agencies can gain an aerial advantage for longer in more areas than ever before.

Search and Rescue Agencies throughout the world are continuously anticipating when they will be called to their next emergency and where it may be. With over 50,000km of coastline and more than 10,000 beaches, Australia’s search and rescue resources are spread thin and helicopter support isn’t always available. In addition to this, search and rescue Agencies are inundated with false alarms and multiple situations occurring at once. This high demand and life critical work can be undone in seconds with one wrong move. By employing drones as first responders to help search and rescue agencies direct help where needed faster and more accurately, makes this technology critical for life saving efforts in many parts of the world. In addition to directly saving lives, these drones can also be used for shark detection. Agencies using drone technology are more agile and capable of maintaining safety and protecting the potentially vulnerable beach goers in an emergency where visibility or safety may be compromised.

Disaster Management Agencies in many areas of the world are on high alert for much of the year as many disasters are seasonal and frequent. The best response tends to be the fastest response, being able to search for victims and survivors, assess damage to infrastructure and landscape and identify areas that need addressing before disaster strikes is vital to saving lives and property. The summer of 2019/ 2020 is considered as one of the worst years on record for rural bush fires in Australia. Even with their impressive arsenal of over 140 manned aircraft, they were stretched to their limit for months. These conventional aircraft are notoriously dangerous, expensive, limited to day flights and by their availability. However, using drone technology would give more aerial coverage over more of the torched landscape. Their fast response time coupled with their remote piloting capability makes UAVs a much safer option for command and control surveillance in a fire arena. Understandably, drones are a viable solution for first response as a disaster unfolds, to monitor human presence, access damage to both property and land and even in preventing disasters in the first place, through assessing large areas and reducing risk.
