Cyberhawk signs a three-year SSE drone inspection agreement with an offshore-wind extension

Cyberhawk has secured a three-year agreement, with an option for two more years, to provide drone inspection and surveying services across SSEN Transmission and SSEN Distribution networks in Britain. The scope also includes offshore wind-turbine inspection.

The contract shows inspection programs moving from isolated campaigns toward multi-year operational services that span transmission, distribution and renewable-generation assets.

For utility operators, the hard integration work is not only collecting imagery. Data naming, repeatable asset views, defect triage, geospatial history and handoff into maintenance systems determine whether repeated flights reduce field workload.
