Skyreaper UAV
Public-safety drone built end-to-end in Nepal, in service with Nepal Police.
Skyreaper is a surveillance and public-safety multirotor developed end-to-end by GarudX for Nepal Police: airframe, avionics, payloads, onboard AI and the GarudX Tactical GCS ground-control app. With a thermal camera and a loudspeaker it finds people and broadcasts messages to them, and it has carried messages and goods to communities cut off from communications. During the August 2026 Trishuli flood response, GarudX's line-stringing work flew pilot lines across rivers that had cut villages off, helping reconnect internet, electricity and a ropeway for 150+ households at Devighat. Skyreaper's modular interface plate (payload, ethernet, main camera, NPU, debug and FPV ports) lets the same airframe be reconfigured for a new mission in the field instead of waiting on a factory redesign.
Key Features
Use Cases
GarudX Tactical GCS
GarudX Tactical GCS runs on the SIYI MK32 controller and brings together live video, MAVLink telemetry, onboard AI detections and pilot flight logs in one interface. Nepal Police use it for search-and-rescue surveillance.
Tracking: Lock onto a target and the gimbal follows it. The crosshair turns green when the lock holds. Interface demonstration. The feed, detections and every value shown are simulated.
