About us

HyperDrone delivers trusted aerial intelligence that enables safer decisions, protects critical infrastructure, and strengthens community resilience. Using advanced remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS), thermal imaging, and intelligent data collection, HyperDrone transforms aerial observations into accurate, timely, and actionable information for government, industry, emergency services, insurers, and private clients. We exist to help our clients understand what they cannot safely or efficiently see from the ground—providing the confidence to make informed decisions when they matter most.

Our role isn't simply to fly a drone, but to use the latest AI enabled aerial technology to deliver results previously unobtainable.

We collect, analyse and present reliable aerial information that helps our clients understand conditions, identify risks and make informed decisions safely and efficiently.

Whether it's a damaged roof after a storm, a council asset requiring inspection or a thermal assessment of critical infrastructure, HyperDrone provides clear, actionable intelligence tailored to the task.

We work closely with our clients across every project and bring tailored aerial data intelligence to every application.

Founded in 2026 by Ian Leonard, HyperDrone was established with a clear vision: to harness the power of advanced drone technology to deliver trusted aerial intelligence that helps organisations make informed decisions.

Driven by a lifelong passion for aviation and a keen interest in emerging technologies, Ian recognised the enormous potential of remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) to transform the way infrastructure, assets and environments are inspected, assessed and monitored. To bring this vision to life, he completed the required commercial training and qualifications to establish HyperDrone as a professional aerial intelligence company.

With more than 25 years' experience in the education sector as both a teacher and manager, Ian brings strong leadership, clear communication and a collaborative approach to every project. His commitment to building positive relationships, understanding client needs and delivering high-quality outcomes is central to the way HyperDrone operates.

Today, HyperDrone combines advanced RPAS technology, thermal imaging and intelligent data collection to provide accurate, reliable and actionable aerial intelligence across a diverse range of industries. Every project is undertaken with a focus on safety, professionalism and delivering information that clients can trust.

Recognising that RPAS technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, Ian is committed to ongoing professional development and continual investment in emerging technologies, advanced capabilities and industry best practice. This commitment ensures HyperDrone remains at the forefront of aerial intelligence, delivering innovative solutions and exceptional value to clients today and into the future.
