Marble Aero, founded in 2016 by a team of UK drone experts, specializes in providing real-time maritime intelligence through the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The company operates in the maritime security market, serving clients such as coastal authorities, maritime agencies, and private security firms. Marble Aero's business model revolves around offering a turnkey service that includes the operation and maintenance of UAVs, which are used to patrol coastal areas and provide live data on illicit activities like illegal fishing, drug trafficking, and human trafficking. The company generates revenue by charging for these comprehensive monitoring services, which are enhanced by their ability to integrate with existing monitoring systems. Marble Aero's UAVs are semi-automated, fixed-wing VTOL drones that combine the range and speed advantages of winged aircraft without the need for a runway, making them cost-effective and versatile. The drones are equipped with 30x zoom and thermal cameras, delivering both live and recorded visual data. Marble Aero ensures that the data provided is actionable and tailored to the specific needs of their clients, thereby enhancing the overall effectiveness of maritime monitoring operations.
