Who we are
SWRM provides professional remote pilot services for Defence and prime contractors. Our pilots deliver flight testing, platform evaluation, operational support, and pilot training for RPAS programmes across Australia.
We combine specialist piloting skill with an understanding of Defence programme demands — characterising flight envelopes, training customer pilots, and supporting demonstrations and trials with clear technical feedback.
Team members have assisted programmes including ARCADE, VANDAL, and GHOSTBAT, as described in our Capability Statement.
