Markets
Scabro supports innovators across the uncrewed systems landscape — from ISR and transport UAVs to maritime drones and advanced sensor platforms. We understand the technical, operational, and regulatory demands of each domain, and build the composite systems — and the processes — that power them.
We work directly with military stakeholders, aerospace manufacturers, and government agencies across Europe, North America, and Asia. Our involvement in leading defense exhibitions, including XPONENTIAL (US & Europe), keeps us aligned with current and emerging requirements.
In previous programs, we’ve delivered tooling for fighter helicopters, reusable composite molds for orbital launch vehicles (VEGA), and full-scale systems for ISR drones. This experience strengthens our relevance across all UAV categories.
Defense & ISR
Defense UAVs operate in high-pressure environments — technically and strategically. At Scabro, we work alongside field units, acquisition teams, and defense OEMs to deliver scalable, precise, and mission-ready composite solutions.
We support ISR drone platforms, high-speed target drones, and foldable or deployable airframes. Our adaptive tooling and production architectures help you move fast — whether your program requires formal certification or not.
Key capabilities:
- ISR drones
- High-speed target drones
- Deployable or foldable structures
- Lightweight stealth-ready composites
- Tooling and production systems ready for upscaling
- Deep understanding of defense procurement cycles
Transport & Heavy Cargo UAVs
From urban delivery to strategic logistics, the uncrewed transport sector demands lightweight strength and repeatable build quality. We deliver composite systems — and the scalable lines to produce them.
Whether it’s 2 kg at 80 km/h or 150 kg at Mach 0.8, we help transport drone programs transition from one-off builds to reliable, high-output production.
Key capabilities:
- Composite fuselages for cargo UAVs
- Integrated wing structures with spar systems
- Load-bearing, aerodynamic skin panels
- Scalable tooling for light and heavy payloads
- Systems integration: hatches, mounts, avionics prep
- Ground effect drones and offshore logistics UAVs
Advanced Sensor Platforms & VTOL Systems
Persistent surveillance. Tactical ISR. Swappable payloads. These platforms require lightweight, stable composite architectures ready for integration with optics, power, and data systems.We design and manufacture composite assemblies for modular VTOL platforms, plug-and-play sensor mounts, and aerodynamically optimized structures — all tailored for iterative development and future scaling.
Key capabilities:
- VTOL wing systems with folding or removable parts
- Modular nosecones and sensor mounts
- Low-vibration, optimized frames
- Electrical integration readiness
- Lightweight architectures for fast iteration
Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs)
Autonomous surface vessels and ground-effect vehicles require materials and designs that perform under salt, impact, vibration, and field maintenance constraints.Scabro helps maritime drone builders create robust composite shells and modular hulls — ready for pre-series builds and full-scale deployment.
Key capabilities:
- Ground effect UAV/boat hybrids
- Salt-resistant, modular composite structures
- Repairable, access-friendly designs
- Tooling and components for fleet production
