86. Skyfish – United States
Skyfish is an American drone company based in Missoula, Montana, specializing in rugged, survey-grade VTOL quadcopter systems built entirely in the USA and NDAA-compliant.
Its flagship model, the Osprey, weighs approximately 13 to 14 pounds (5.8 to 6.3 kilograms), offers up to 60 minutes of flight time, and fits into a backpack — designed to compete with and often exceed features of enterprise drones like the DJI Matrice series.
Equipped with RTK positioning, autonomous flight planning, collision avoidance, and digital twin photogrammetry capabilities using high-end payloads such as the 61 MP Sony LR1 and NextVision Raptor EO/IR sensors, the Osprey delivers precision mapping and situational awareness with up to 1/32-inch accuracy.
In the defense and public safety domain, Skyfish positions the Osprey as a potent Tactical ISR UAV, capable of real-time intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance.
With support for the NextVision Raptor’s X80 zoom electro-optical/infrared sensor, long-range IR, and precise geolocation, it provides mission-critical surveillance day and night.
Certified to US Army DevCom Airworthiness Level 3 and undergoing Green UAS certification, the Osprey is built to perform in both civilian infrastructure inspection and defense-grade deployments, offering secure, American-made ISR solutions for law enforcement and military operators.
