Air6 Systems
"Airborne Robotics"
Austrian/UK manufacturer of high-performance, heavy-payload professional drones (UAVs) carrying up to 10 kg for surveying, inspection and LiDAR.
AIR6 SYSTEMS (operating as AIR6 | AIRBORNE, with Airborne Robotics in the UK) is a manufacturer of professional, high-performance multirotor drones (UAVs) for heavy-payload missions of up to 10 kg. Established in 2017, the company has development and manufacturing operations in Klagenfurt, Austria, a UK entity (Airborne Robotics Limited) in London, and an additional office in Sauerlach, Germany. AIR6 designs and builds an open-platform UAV range able to mount any sensor or payload, including RGB, thermal, multispectral and LiDAR systems, with multiple sensors deployable on a single flight.
Its systems emphasize redundancy through two independent electronic circuits for enhanced fail-safety (supporting Operating Safety Cases), strong payload and flight-time performance, water resistance and customization to client specifications. The product line includes the AIR8 octocopter, the company's flagship for medium-payload, medium-range missions with market-leading flight time, payload capacity, redundancy and IP54 dust/splash resistance, suited to LiDAR and laser-scanning surveys; the AIR4 Rugged, a compact system with greater than 3.5 kg payload built for extreme wind and weather; and the AIR4 NANO, an ultra-light sub-250 g drone for surveillance and tactical reconnaissance. The drones use efficient battery technology with up to roughly 1,000 charge cycles. AIR6 serves sectors including agriculture and forestry, surveying, mapping and mining, building and infrastructure inspection, power-asset and critical-infrastructure documentation, surveillance and search and rescue, film and photography, and research. The company provides turnkey UAV solutions spanning hardware, integrated and customized sensors, flight-planning and post-processing software, plus support and training, and has developed the AirborneSIM drone simulation platform for BVLOS autonomy and conducts R&D in UAV satcom.

FCC Adds More Drone Exemptions to Covered List Ban: Elevon Aerial, Air6 Systems
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has expanded its list of foreign-made drone systems that are conditionally approved and exempt from its extensive Covered List restrictions. This update, announced in a Public Notice on May 15, 2026, reflects ongoing efforts by federal agencies to navigate the implications of the FCC's stringent regulations on foreign drones and their critical components. The addition of new exemptions aims to facilitate the integration of certain drone technologies while addressing national security concerns. Among the newly exempted companies are Elevon Aerial and Air6 Systems, which are now able to operate under the revised guidelines. This move underscores the FCC's commitment to balancing innovation in the drone industry with the need for regulatory oversight.
