Rocketdna Ltd Takes Skylink Live Across Enterprise Customers With 25,000 Missions
Skylink® OS goes live across every RocketDNA enterprise customer
RocketDNA Ltd (ASX: RKT) has onboarded all enterprise customers onto its Skylink® Operating System, with the platform now managing autonomous drone operations across its multi-site customer base. Announced on 1 July 2026, the rollout builds on the Tier-1 mining customer launch in March 2026.
The platform recorded 1,000+ monthly active users across the Skylink® and SiteTube product suite as at 30 June 2026, a +127% QoQ increase, with approximately 25,000 missions pre-booked over the next 12 months. The shift from a single-customer launch to full portfolio deployment signals the platform’s commercial readiness.
The Skylink OS Tier-1 mining deployment in March 2026 marked the platform’s first real-world test in live operations, establishing the technical baseline that the full enterprise rollout now builds on.

Strong adoption signals and forward revenue visibility
The rollout has driven a material increase in platform traction. With monthly active users now exceeding 1,000 across Skylink® and SiteTube, customer interaction with RocketDNA’s software and data offerings has accelerated through the period.
A central feature of the platform is its ability to schedule repeat drone missions, a capability the company describes as unique to enterprise drone operations. Customers can autonomously schedule recurring flights, whether daily, weekly, monthly or as required, and receive a transparent view of drone availability for on-demand missions.
This delivers timing certainty comparable to other scheduled enterprise logistical workflows. Customers know when their data will be collected and can build consistent operational and reporting workflows around that predictability.
The result is roughly 25,000 missions scheduled in advance through Skylink® over the next 12 months. According to the company, this forward-mission pipeline creates revenue certainty and ingrained adoption within customer operations.
| Metric | Result | Change | As At Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly active users | 1,000+ | +127% QoQ | 30 June 2026 |
| Pre-booked missions | ~25,000 over next 12 months | — | 30 June 2026 |
| Enterprise customers onboarded | All | Full portfolio | 30 June 2026 |
Why pre-booked missions matter
The forward-booked volume gives visibility into RocketDNA’s remote operations revenue stream and overall hardware deployment strategy. For both the company and its customers, scheduling flights well in advance carries several practical benefits:
-
Timing certainty for customers, who know when data will be collected.
-
Consistent reporting workflows built around predictable delivery times.
-
Revenue predictability for RocketDNA across the booked period.
How “Drone-as-Infrastructure” works
The Skylink® workflow is designed to remove friction from drone usage across an organisation. Rather than requiring specialist skills at every site, the platform lets staff request missions directly while RocketDNA handles execution and data delivery.
The process follows three steps:
-
End-users request missions through Skylink®, with no drone licence required.
-
RocketDNA’s remote operations team executes the flights.
-
Data is delivered back through the SiteTube® platform for post-flight visualisation and processing.
For investors, this matters because it embeds RocketDNA into customer operations and lowers the barrier to usage across an organisation. By allowing anyone to trigger a flight, the model supports a recurring revenue mix spanning hardware, software, data and services.
Christopher Clark, Managing Director & CEO, RocketDNA
“It allows anyone in the organization to trigger a drone flight without requiring an actual drone license. The Skylink® interface has been so effective that customers have scheduled over 25,000 missions in advance, allowing them to lock in their enterprise workflows and reporting into fixed delivery times, delivering on our Drone-as-Infrastructure vision.”
Hardware expansion and the land-and-expand strategy
The mission pipeline also validates the commercial case for hardware expansion. According to the company, customers are actively booking flights at rates that justify incremental hardware deployment and expansion of the remote operations team.
RocketDNA describes this as demand pull rather than supply push. The distinction matters because it de-risks the company’s capital deployment decisions and improves visibility into utilisation rates for hardware deployed in the field.
The strategy is to deploy additional autonomous xBot® drone units, through both sales and lease models, to expand flight-hour capacity and support the growing mission pipeline. Clark linked the approach to a blended revenue mix across hardware, software, data and services.
Key strategic levers include:
-
Each additional unit deployed increases the opportunity to lock in pre-booked mission volume.
-
Demand-pull dynamics de-risk capital deployment decisions.
-
Improved visibility into utilisation rates for hardware in the field.

What it means for RocketDNA investors
The combination of full enterprise onboarding, +127% QoQ growth in monthly active users and roughly 25,000 pre-booked missions points to an embedded, recurring, multi-stream revenue model with forward visibility. Together these data points suggest deeper integration into customer operations.
RocketDNA serves a blue-chip customer base of Tier 1 and Tier 2 miners, including Rio Tinto, BHP, South32, Newmont, Vault Minerals and Seriti Coal, with operations primarily across Australia and Africa.
The WA subsidiary acquisition completed in mid-2026 also removed the minority interest that had previously absorbed 40% of Australian operating profits, meaning the full economic benefit of the Skylink platform rollout now flows entirely to listed shareholders.
Clark framed the offering against a backdrop where customers are “expected to do more with less,” positioning RocketDNA’s autonomous solutions as a productivity and safety enabler. No specific contract values or revenue figures were disclosed alongside the update.
