About Cyberhawk
Founded in 2008, Cyberhawk™ is the first company in the world to use drones to inspect industrial assets. Cyberhawk world-class pilots and inspection engineers complete hundreds of thousands of UAS inspections per year, for 300+ customers across 40 countries.
Today, the Cyberhawk team continues to lead the way in close visual inspections of critical assets, including electrical grids, power generation sites, oil and gas structures and capital-intensive industrial construction projects – while always putting safety at the forefront of our operational excellence.
Using Cyberhawk intuitive, cloud-based visualization software platform, iHawk™, we consolidate diverse sources of inspection data to provide a single source of truth for assets at any scale and translate these findings into actions. We are experts at finding defects in critical energy infrastructure which can impact the environment and the communities our customers serve, and we deliver solutions which are critical to our customers’ ability to document capital intensive industrial sites.
Cyberhawk is changing the way our industry has operated for 75 years by empowering our customers to harness the full power of their data and visual assets, both integrating into workflows, and sharing this information across their enterprises. This leads to better decisions, faster, saving our customers hundreds of millions of dollars in the process.
