Platform compatibility

One link for every MAVLink vehicle

SkyRelay isn't only for drones. If your platform speaks MAVLink — ArduPilot or PX4 — the same Conduit connects it to the cloud over LTE. Air, ground, marine, or subsea, on one independent record.

Air, ground, marine, subsea

MAVLink is a vehicle-agnostic protocol. The Conduit reads it the same way whether the platform flies, drives, or dives — so the recovery, records, and cloud link you get on a drone work just as well on a rover or a survey boat.

Aerial

ArduCopter · ArduPlane · PX4

Multirotors, fixed-wing, VTOL, and helicopters — the platforms SkyRelay started with. An alternate command link over LTE when the radio fades, plus recovery and records.

InspectionMapping & surveyDeliveryBVLOS

Ground

ArduPilot Rover

Rovers and unmanned ground vehicles running autonomous or remote missions out of radio range — kept on the network and on the record over cellular.

AgricultureSecurity patrolSite logisticsInspection

Marine (surface)

ArduPilot Rover · boat frame

Unmanned surface vessels and autonomous boats covering open water far past line of sight — telemetry and command relayed over LTE wherever there's coverage.

Hydrographic surveyEnvironmental monitoringHarbor & port ops

Subsea

ArduSub

ROVs and AUVs report through their topside link — the Conduit relays the vehicle's MAVLink to the cloud from the surface, so the dive is on the same record as everything else.

Hull & infrastructure inspectionResearch

Same Conduit. Same record. Any platform.

There's no separate product per vehicle type. The hardware, the cloud, and the integrations are identical — only the platform on the other end of the wire changes.

One device, mounts anywhere

The same Conduit bolts to an airframe, a chassis, or a deck. Pre-configured, SIM activated, ready to connect — nothing changes per vehicle class.

Recovery & records for all of it

An independent position, an on-board locator, and a tamper-proof record on every mission — whether the vehicle goes down in a field, a channel, or open water.

Open integration, unchanged

MAVLink relay to any GCS, plus MQTT and REST for your own systems. If it speaks MAVLink, HTTP, or MQTT, it works — no per-platform SDK. See the platform →

What about DJI, Autel, and Skydio?

Closed-system drones don't expose a MAVLink stream, so those get SkyRelay's recovery and independent-records layer — they're aerial-only by nature. The full command-link and live-telemetry capabilities on this page apply to open MAVLink platforms. How the layers fit →

Why operators and insurers trust the record

An independent record, not the manufacturer's word.

Independent record

A third-party witness on every flight — separate from the aircraft and its manufacturer.

You own your data

Your flight data belongs to your account. Export it anytime — we don't delete it.

Tamper-evident

Uploaded live and timestamped on the server — the record can't be edited after the fact.

Standard formats + API

GPX, KML, and JSONL exports — plus a data feed your systems and your insurer's can read.
