  • Congratulations to the Aereo team (formerly Aarav Unmanned Systems) for winning the largest drone solutions contract from Coal India Limited (CIL) worth US$1M!
  • This achievement marks many firsts for the 500-backed company. Aereo will be the first company to regularly render its drone solutions to India’s largest coal mines, and this will be the first-ever drone usage of this scale to be undertaken for mining in India.
  • The team will provide advanced analytics through their proprietary web platform and survey-grade drones to seven mines under CIL for 3 years. This will help improve mining safety, environmental compliance, and overall efficiency of the mines.
  • This contract is the second one awarded to Aereo under the CIL umbrella. Previously, the team validated the accuracy of photogrammetry data across 50 mining sites.
  • Apart from deploying drones and drone pilots, Aereo will also participate in a knowledge transfer exercise by training CIL’s existing survey teams.
