Medowie, NSW maker of sub-10 kg electric VTOL fixed-wing drones; its Brolga UAS carries 1.9 kg for 2.5 h for farm mapping, leak and pest detection.
VeraSys Pty Ltd is an Australian developer of small uncrewed aircraft and associated data products for agriculture, based at 1/6 Muir Street, Medowie, New South Wales (ABN 31 686 905 064). The company states that its team draws on years of research and development in autonomous systems and that it works with clients on both aerial and ground technologies, with a focus on precision agriculture and sustainable farming. It is listed as a member of the Australian Association for Uncrewed Systems (AAUS).
Its aircraft line consists of two electric vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fixed-wing hybrid uncrewed aerial systems, each in the under-10 kg class. Brolga UAS is the current model, described as the next evolution of the Godwit; the company's homepage gives it a payload capacity of 1.9 kg and an endurance of 2.5 hours, and positions it for large-scale mapping and monitoring with live video feed and image capture. It carries high-precision GNSS and integrated air traffic situational awareness, and in its irrigation configuration an EO/IR (electro-optical and infrared) camera package. Godwit UAS is the previous-generation eVTOL in the same weight class, with a payload of up to 500 g and an endurance of 1.5 hours, aimed at survey and inspection missions. The products page itself publishes no numeric figures; range, speed and wingspan are not published for either aircraft.
VeraSys packages the aircraft into two application systems. Irrigation Leak Management combines Brolga flights carrying the EO/IR package with thermal and visual mapping and AI-based leak detection that tags GPS locations, feeding the VeraSys Leak App, which handles prioritisation, repair assignment, progress monitoring and repair history; a brochure for this package is available from the website. Biosecurity Monitoring pairs a gimballed infrared camera with an AI model trained for biosecurity work to detect, track and position feral animals, invasive species and pests over wide areas in near real time, and is designed to fly on the Brolga.
The website also runs a pilot program page for prospective users. Founding year, headcount, funding, named customers and certifications are not published on the official site.
