Accelerate Marine Life Research with High-Precision Ocean Intelligence.
From sterile eDNA collection in remote lakes to biopsy sampling from the largest marine mammals, SwellPro delivers the rugged, reliable platforms you need to access critical data with unprecedented efficiency and safety.
Trusted by Global Oceanographic Institutions & Research Labs
Engineered for the most demanding aquatic environments.
Conventional drones fail where SwellPro excels. Our platforms are designed from the ground up for the professional marine researcher, eliminating the limitations of shore-based and vessel-based operations.
STERILE SAMPLING
Achieve high-fidelity, sterile water (eDNA) collection. Eliminate contamination risks from vessel anti-fouling paint or personnel.
90% COST REDUCTION
Achieve higher sampling fidelity at a fraction of the cost. Reduce operational time by 75% compared to traditional vessel rentals.
NON-INVASIVE SAMPLING
Perform "liquid biopsies" and breath microbiome sampling on marine mammals from above, without causing engine noise stress.
HIGH-PRECISION DATA
Generate high-resolution grid maps of cryptic species (like turtles) and extract accurate 3D morphology and physiological telemetry from a distance.
MARITIME SOLUTION
From Rapid Assessments to Enduring Monitoring.
SwellPro drones eliminate parallax errors and engine-noise stress of traditional horizontal, vessel-based observations. Execute focal follows from compliant heights to capture true animal morphology, speed, and respiration cycles.
Modular Surveillance Payloads
01
Dual-Light Thermal Rangefinder Camera
A versatile multi-sensor payload combining high-resolution thermal imaging, visible light, and laser ranging to easily penetrate darkness, fog, and water reflection, making it the premier tool for nighttime search and rescue, oil spill detection, and coastal security patrols.
02
Ultra-Zoom Laser Rangefinder Camera
A powerful long-range surveillance payload featuring a 160x hybrid zoom camera and an integrated laser rangefinder, enabling operators to identify vessel details and detect offshore violations from a safe distance while acquiring precise target coordinates in real time.
03
4K 3-Axis Gimbal Camera
A high-definition imaging payload featuring 3-axis mechanical stabilization and ultra-clear 4K video recording, designed to eliminate screen jitter under rough sea conditions for precise aerial evidence collection and maritime law enforcement.
04
Dual-Stage Payload Release
A heavy-duty, dual-stage delivery payload capable of carrying up to 2 kg, allowing precise, multi-point dropping of survival equipment, rescue devices, or medical supplies to dramatically increase the success rate in marine emergency response and rescue missions.
05
Underwater Bathymetric Sonar System
An advanced acoustic scanning payload that utilizes sonar technology to map underwater topography and detect submerged anomalies, providing critical subsurface data for maritime safety, underwater search and recovery, and port security operations.
CASE STUDIES
A Research Wall of Excellence.
High-Fidelity eDNA Sampling
Researchers capture sterile water samples directly from aquatic surfaces without contamination.
SGS and Umeå University deploy waterproof drones for direct water landings in Sweden and Portugal. This sterile sampling approach eliminates cross-contamination from vessel hull paint, cutting operational costs by 90% and time by 75%.

Whale Breath Microbiome Sampling
Offshore marine teams collect non-invasive liquid biopsies from wild humpback whale blow aerosols.
Equipped with motorized sterile petri dishes, drones fly through whale blow aerosols to sample respiratory microflora. This non-invasive liquid biopsy method successfully identifies critical pathogens, establishing vital baseline health metrics for global cetacean populations.

Cryptic Turtle Population Mapping
NOAA maps juvenile green sea turtles in turbid nearshore waters using polarized aerial imaging.
NOAA deploys waterproof drones to execute polarized grid scans at low altitudes. By cutting through surface glare and water turbidity, the system accurately tracks hidden juvenile green turtles, generating high-density visual datasets for species recovery programs.

Wild Dolphin Microbiome Capturey
Custom-built sampling rigs bypass rotor wash to capture pure DNA from small wild cetaceans.
To prevent rotor wash from scattering delicate blows, researchers utilized a suspended 2-meter sampling boom. Tracking 3 meters above wild dolphins, the system successfully isolated pure respiratory DNA, revealing key ecological differences between wild and captive species.
