Commercial drones: Air Intelligence

Autonomous aerial inspection, sensing, mapping and industrial data capture — connected to trusted AI so that what a drone sees becomes verified, actionable information.

How It Fits

DNY is not a drone company — drones are one direction of the layer

The commercial drone programme is the first industry programme under Physical Intelligence. It can operate as an independent brand and company while reusing group infrastructure.

  • Physical Intelligence LayerThe unified connection between devices and AI.
  • Drone ventureProducts, services, customers, operations and revenue — DNY Aerial Systems.
The Trusted Loop

From flight to verified report

1

Data return

Inspection, vision and sensor data flows into the Trusted Data Space with source, time and device identity.

Trusted Data Space
2

AI processing

Computer vision and AI agents generate analysis, tasks, reports and anomaly handling.

Vision + Agents
3

Trusted record

Models, data, device identity, mission permissions and key judgements are recorded for audit.
