Sales & Support
Africa and the Middle East present UAV operators with myriad environmental and infrastructural challenges. From the urban jungle of Lagos to the open plains of the Okavango Delta, or from the agricultural serenity of the Cape Winelands to the war-torn chaos of Aleppo, such diversity of operating conditions demands versatility of aircraft and sensory equipment.
Cairn UAS is intimately familiar with difficult operating environments and understands the importance of properly suited and reliable equipment.
Our field-tested selection of aircraft and sensor units are sourced from OEMs that we carefully vet for the quality and reliability of their products, ensuring that you get the right tool for the job, and value for your spend.
