Innovation meets prevention: The next generation of security technologies from Volatus Aerospace

Data from the air – Real-Time Insights

Volatus Aerospace (TSX-V: FLT; WKN: A2JEQU; ISIN: CA92865M1023) is a leading specialist in airborne inspection, surveillance, and data-driven decision-making. With state-of-the-art drone technology, automated analysis, and AI-powered evaluations, Volatus delivers precise real-time information - from urban utility networks to safety-critical defense facilities. Safety is always the top priority. Whether it is border surveillance, airspace control, or the protection of sensitive infrastructure, Volatus offers solutions that support both government agencies and military decision-makers. With state-of-the-art technology and a comprehensive service portfolio, Volatus helps companies increase efficiency, reduce costs, and collect data in real-time. For clients, it is crucial to receive timely insights into the condition of their infrastructure, enabling them to plan and implement maintenance measures in a timely manner.

In a changing world, information is becoming the strongest currency

The need for highly available, operationally usable information is growing rapidly, and with it, the demand for reliable technology partners. Volatus is set to take off in the current quarter. By reducing its long-term debt and significantly increasing its equity ratio, the Company is enhancing its competitive position in securing lucrative contracts. Anyone who wants to win public tenders today needs not only technological capabilities and access to hardware but also the necessary financial basis, which is a prerequisite for public contracts in particular. After all, the customer wants to be sure that the technology supplier will still be on the market in the coming decades.

Tree planting partnership boosts green reputation

Volatus Aerospace is also demonstrating its versatility in the environmental sector, partnering with J.D. Irving (JDI) to support drone-assisted tree planting in New Brunswick. The aim is to utilize a remote-piloted heavy-lift drone system (RPAS) to enhance the efficiency, safety, and environmental compatibility of planting logistics in remote areas. The drones deliver seedlings and materials directly to the planting teams, centrally controlled from the Volatus Operations Center in Ontario. In addition to operational support, Volatus also provides training and regulatory support. JDI, a leading Canadian forestry company with over 1.1 billion trees planted since 1957, sees drones as a solution to current challenges such as hard-to-reach terrain and increasing reforestation needs following forest fires. The partnership exemplifies the trend toward scalable, technology-based reforestation with a focus on sustainability and carbon markets.

Key technology for protecting our future

Volatus Aerospace (TSX-V: FLT; WKN: A2JEQU; ISIN: CA92865M1023) provides advanced drone and sensor systems for the precise collection and analysis of air data, from infrastructure monitoring to industrial inspection. With ultra-HD imaging, thermal imaging technology, and digital twins, Volatus enables early detection of the smallest changes and structural risks. The Company is currently focusing on applications in the energy, oil & gas, and transportation infrastructure sectors. Over 1.7 million km of pipelines, more than 40,000 energy facilities, and 16,000 remote-controlled transport flights have already been successfully covered. International expansion, particularly in Europe and Africa, is now gaining momentum. The future looks exciting!

Artificial intelligence – Everyone is talking about it, Volatus is doing it

A future strategic focus will be on artificial intelligence, which accelerates and significantly improves analysis processes, from detecting thermal anomalies and security monitoring to identifying technical vulnerabilities. Big data analytics is also gaining importance in the defense sector: movement patterns and threat situations can be detected at an early stage through AI-supported aerial image analysis, which is an advantage for military and security-related applications. CEO Glen Lynch sees AI as a key growth pillar for his company. Business momentum has picked up noticeably recently - potentially offering a good entry point for investors before the Company's value is redefined.

Setting sail for new shores

What makes Volatus Aerospace particularly attractive to investors is the Company's consistent transformation. What originally started as Drone Delivery Canada Corp. in the field of drone-based delivery logistics, Volatus has developed into a highly specialized provider of airborne data analysis, surveillance, and inspection services. The focus is now on unmanned drone systems, which will replace aircraft and helicopters in many areas of application as they are more efficient, cost-effective, and powerful. With its own Operations Control Center in Toronto, customized customer solutions, and a growing project volume, Volatus is entering a phase of operational scaling. Margins are set to improve further, partly thanks to the strategic shift from pure hardware sales to profitable services and technology services. The new defense and security business segment is currently developing particularly dynamically. And the newly bundled service packages in the "Surveillance-as-a-Service" segment are right on trend. In fiscal year 2024, Volatus generated revenue of CAD 27.15 million, but the potential is much greater: contracts worth over CAD 600 million are in the pipeline and now need to be gradually converted into contracts.

**Investors have recently jumped on the bandwagon. Parallel to the announcement of an oversubscribed private placement of CAD 5 million, the share price jumped from CAD 0.14 to CAD 0.32. The research firm Ventum is likely to raise its price target soon, as the upcoming scaling with new commitments in the defense sector has not yet been factored into the figures for 2025 and beyond. Now is, therefore, the opportunity to get on board before the share price takes off completely.
