Crew

Flown by people who have done it for Defence.

Our crew come from RAAF ISR and Defence uncrewed operations. They bring the same discipline to every task we fly.

Why Ordan

We saw the gap from the inside.

Ordan was started by former Defence uncrewed operators. We knew the problem first-hand: large areas, too few aircraft, and reports that said what was seen but not what might have been missed.

So we built a service around coverage. Every task is planned point by point, flown until every point is checked, and reported so you can see exactly what was covered.

How we work

  1. 01

    Check every point.

    We plan and fly until the whole area is covered, not until we have seen something.

  2. 02

    Say what we saw.

    Plain reports, with times and positions. No adjectives, no guesswork.

  3. 03

    Own the gaps.

    If weather or airspace leaves a gap, we show it and we close it.

We’re building the crew.

Experienced remote and crewed pilots, sensor operators and maintainers.
