Hyderabad, 22nd August, 2025:

Marut Drones has received DGCA type certification for its surveillance drone – the Skyswift 56. This small category quadcopter-class rotorcraft is designed to meet the dynamic needs of surveillance, high-precision mapping, and field training. Developed to support multiple payload configurations, including an FPV camera, a 24MP mapping camera with PPK support, a 4K surveillance camera, and thermal imaging capabilities, the Skyswift 56 stands out for operations that demand precision and discretion.

The measurable impact of this Skyswift 56 is significant for law enforcement agencies, with the potential to reduce emergency response times. Furthermore, it can cut operational costs while boosting the detection of illegal activities. Beyond its operational benefits, Marut’s Skyswift56 fosters social and economic growth. By lowering crime rates and increasing community confidence, it can create a conducive environment for businesses and public events.

Prem Kumar Vislawath, CEO and Co-Founder of Marut Drones said, “At a time when national security concerns are prompting deeper investments in tactical drone surveillance, Marut’s Skyswift 56 emerges as a timely solution. Developed in house, Skyswift 56 is built to empower frontline personnel with silent, compact, and high-precision drone surveillance tools. Silent, thermal-equipped, and designed for low-visibility missions, it is purpose-built for covert reconnaissance, patrolling, law enforcement, and public safety missions. Its ultra-portable design allows the entire system to fit into a rugged backpack and be deployed in under 2 minutes—crucial for field operations and rapid response scenarios. Engineered for endurance and durability, it boasts weather-resistant, shock-absorbent construction and can achieve speeds up to 15 m/s, making it capable of covering large terrains efficiently.”
