A self-contained drone-in-a-box
Hive MK-1 removes the crew from the field. The hive launches, recovers, recharges, and re-tasks its UAVs on its own — a fully autonomous drone hive that runs unattended and is operated entirely from anywhere. No on-site pilots, no manual turnaround, no ground station to truck in.
Custom drone hives for any deployment type
Every hive is built to the mission. Deploy a self-contained remote hive for drones at a fixed site, on a ground vehicle, aboard a naval vessel, or at a forward position — and scale from a single hive to a distributed network. The same platform delivers custom drone hives and robotic hives for any deployment type.
Fixed Sites
Persistent autonomous coverage for perimeters, infrastructure, and borders.
Mobile & Vehicle
Hives that travel with ground vehicles and convoys for on-the-move launch and recovery.
Naval & Maritime
Ruggedized hives for vessels and offshore platforms in demanding conditions.
Forward Positions
Rapidly emplaced, self-contained hives for remote and forward-deployed operations.
Built for endurance in the field
With a lithium-plus-solar hybrid power system, a Hive MK-1 can run up to 30 days of unattended field operation with no external power supply — so autonomous coverage keeps going long after a conventional deployment would need servicing.

Any platform, any drone
Hive MK-1 is platform-agnostic. It manages your existing UAVs and robotic platforms without a hardware redesign, connecting them through a single unified layer. Bring the drones you already fly — the hive handles deployment, connectivity, and control.
Secure by design
Every hive runs on SKYNEST's COSMOS G connectivity — a secure SASE network with dual-encrypted, global links — and is commanded through the platform-agnostic Control Layer from anywhere in the world.
