SEALSQ Partners with Major Drone Manufacturers for AAVs

SEALSQ Secures Autonomous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs)

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling semiconductors, PKI and post-quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced that it is solidifying its position in the rapidly expanding market of Autonomous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs) via key partnerships with major drone manufacturers.

SEALSQ’s NIST FIPS 140-2 and 140-3 compliant and Common Criteria EAL5+ certified semiconductors are increasingly being adopted to protect autonomous systems from cyber threats while enabling secure data transmission, embedded software integrity, and unique identity management.

The Rise of Autonomous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs)

AAVs, also known as autonomous aircraft, operate without direct human intervention. Unlike traditional drones, which are predominantly designed for surveillance and delivery, AAVs are engineered for human transport. Equipped with GPS, inertial navigation systems, and sophisticated sensors, these vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles operate in confined spaces and provide quicker, more efficient travel.

Recent Partnerships with Leading Drone Manufacturers

SEALSQ has established key collaborations with prominent drone manufacturers bringing advanced security solutions to the forefront of unmanned aerial systems (UAS).

Partnership with Parrot

Parrot has integrated SEALSQ’s semiconductors in their ANAFI Ai and SKYCONTROLLER 4 models, ensuring that critical data remains secure during sensitive operations. SEALSQ’s VaultIC405 secure element plays a pivotal role in guaranteeing cryptographic operations, software integrity, and secure drone-to-ground control system pairing. This partnership offers unmatched protection and enhances Parrot’s ability to conduct secure infrastructure inspections and other specialized missions.

Collaboration with AgEagle

AgEagle, a leading provider of full stack drone, sensors and software solutions, has incorporated SEALSQ’s technology into its eBee VISION UAS, designed for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. This NIST FIPS140-2 Level 3 compliant and Common Criteria EAL5+ certified secure element enables encryption, secure communications, and tamper-proof identity management. The eBee VISION is also part of the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) program.

Expanding Market Opportunities

The global commercial drone market is projected to reach $38 billion, growing at a CAGR of 7.9% with sectors like public safety, defense, and infrastructure inspection driving demand for robust encryption and privacy features. SEALSQ is positioned at the center of this growth, offering industry-leading solutions that meet the rigorous security standards demanded by the market.

Next-Generation Drone Communications and Control

SEALSQ is also testing satellite-to-drone communication systems secured by its semiconductors. The company announced its collaboration with Parrot to enhance the security and interconnectivity of Parrot drones using a satellite network. This strategic partnership aims to harness the global satellite network to increase drone coverage and control, enabling pilots to operate and observe drones no matter their geographic distance.

A Secure Future for Autonomous Aerial Vehicles

As drone applications evolve from individual vehicles to swarms and interconnected systems, interoperability and cybersecurity remain critical. SEALSQ’s solutions address these challenges, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and authentication across the entire network. By embedding secure elements into each AAV, SEALSQ is paving the way for a secure, reliable, and efficient future in autonomous aerial systems.

About SEALSQ

SEALSQ focuses on selling integrated solutions based on semiconductors, PKI, and provisioning services while developing post-quantum technology hardware and software products. Our solutions can be used in various applications, from multi-factor authentication tokens to automotive and industrial automation.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic methods that are secure against an attack by quantum computers. As quantum computers evolve, they may undermine current cryptographic methods protecting sensitive information. PQC aims to develop new cryptographic systems that stand resilient against quantum threats.
