Sharper Shape, MissionGO Join to Offer Drone Inspections for Utilities

July 31, 2023
The two companies will leverage their skills in asset inspection services and digital twin technology, as well as autonomous aircraft systems.

Power line management solutions firm Sharper Shape won a contract and partnership with MissionGO, a global leader in autonomous aircraft systems and solutions, for data collection services.

The two companies will leverage their skills in asset inspection services and digital twin technology, as well as autonomous aircraft systems.

The partnership will see Sharper Shape use both its drone services provider management service, an iteration of its living digital twin software (CORE), and the Heliscope helicopter payload to streamline MissionGO’s data collection and workflow management. Operating at the forefront of technological advancements, CORE empowers service providers to be more proactive, better understand project status, and identify efficiencies by bringing all information into one platform.

MissionGO was formed by aviation professionals responsible for the first successful human organ delivery used in a transplant surgery via uncrewed aerial services (UAS) and is currently servicing one of the largest UAS utility inspection contracts in the world. As part of the agreement, it will benefit from the full CORE suite, allowing for easy access to all data, documentation, and plans across the company.
