To become a standard of the sky.
PRODRONE provides high quality and high reliable UAVs.
The PDH-GS120 a single rotor that PRODRONE is currently developing is designed to meet "mil-spec" standards for resistance to vibration, temperature, wind, rain, and dust. It is being developed for a two-hour flight at ocean in a wind of 30 m/sec.
Also, the PD6B, a multi-rotor UAV with a high payload of 30 kg earning high trust from clients continues to evolve. Accumulated flights under the harsh conditions and circumstances makes the PD6B become the world's top-class large UAVs that only PRODRONE can provide.
One of the important facts that backs our "mil-spec" quality is our world's leading top drone pilots. Our development team has many drone pilots who have participated in the RC helicopter F3C world and Japanese championships. These skilled drone pilots control the aircraft under severe conditions and provide quick feedback. Their insightful feedbacks reflect on our system, software, and make us build splendid drones. The core value of PRODRONE is its development system, in which engineers and drone pilots work together to produce high quality, highly reliable drone, which cannot be achieved through desktop development.
PRODRONE's drones protect countries and people's life, support logistics, and aim to create value in a society where drone as normalcy.

With over 35 years of experience in the development of RC helicopters and drones, we will continue to create new drones that no one has been able to achieve yet.
My greatest pleasure as a developer is to be able to develop drones those were impossible at other companies, and to make our customers happy from the bottom of my heart.
We believe that in order for industrial drones to be prosperous in our society, no dextrous operators will be needed for drone operations. In order for this to happen, thorough safety measures are also essential.
Our goal is to create an era in which "drone robots with full autonomous flight capability will fly in the skies around the world".

I've built a variety of systems with respect to devices, networks and services, ranging from hardware embedded devices to cloud services.
I would like to create a new world by applying this knowledge and experience to our drone systems and services.
The various drones that come from the flexible designs of our talented developers are a great strength of PRODRONE, but our goal is to make the system stronger and more attractive by adding various gadgets that can add value to the drones and subsystems that are more compatible with the user's systems.
