Draganfly (CSE:DPRO) is collaborating with Volatus Aerospace (TSXV:FLT) to capitalize on growing demand for precision data in the oil and gas sector. To this end, the companies will integrate Volatus’ bathymetric sensor technology with Draganfly’s Heavy Lift Drone.

New solutions will be designed to help oil and gas companies map underwater environments with greater efficiency and at reduced cost than competing technology.

The companies are aligning themselves to claim greater market share in an over US$100 billion global offshore oil and gas exploration market, which is expected to grow at a 5.02 per cent compound annual growth rate through 2030.

According to Thursday’s news release, Draganfly and Volatus expect the collaboration to “open new revenue streams while reinforcing the commitment of both organizations to creating value for shareholders.”

Under the agreement, Volatus will operate as an OEM-approved dealer of Draganfly’s multi-use UAV platforms, including the Heavy Lift, Commander 3XL and Apex drones.
