Wedgetail Aerospace
Jandakot WA startup (ABN May 2021); Australia's first operator of >150 kg drones; CASA-approved for BVLOS ISR and cargo missions.
Wedgetail Aerospace Pty Ltd (ABN 89 644 436 608) is an Australian drone services and solutions provider headquartered at Jandakot, Western Australia. The company was registered with the Australian Business Register in May 2021 and is described in industry sources as a startup operating at the frontier of Australia's large drone sector.
Wedgetail Aerospace holds the distinction of being Australia's first and only operator of drones weighing more than 150 kg — the threshold at which Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) classifies an aircraft as 'large.' The company has received CASA approvals to conduct drone operations across multiple categories: multi-rotor, fixed-wing, powered-lift, and helicopter configurations, by day, night, and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). It is also the first Australian company to receive CASA approval for exhibition flights using large drones.
The company's service portfolio covers Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, aerial cargo delivery, aerial data acquisition, fire monitoring and mapping, search and rescue support, and survey operations. Wedgetail Aerospace operates a 24/7 remote operations center and provides mobile response and training services. Its drone fleet includes the WA-100, an aircraft with a maximum range of 600 km and payload capacity of up to 55 kg, as well as the Austrian-designed Schiebel Camcopter S-100 unmanned helicopter. The company also maintains a partnership with Xer Technologies.
Wedgetail Aerospace's capabilities and regulatory approvals position it as a specialist provider for defense, emergency services, and resource-sector clients requiring large-drone operations in remote or hazardous environments across the Asia-Pacific region. The founder, Thomas, brings capital markets and technology-sector experience to the company's leadership.
