Evolve Dynamics is a British company that designs and manufactures Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) and software solutions for the defence, public safety, and infrastructure sectors. The company was founded in 2016 by Mike Dewhirst, who was inspired to use his technology expertise to support Ukrainian resistance following the 2014 invasion of Crimea. The company has teams in the UK and Ukraine, with its headquarters in Guildford, Surrey.
The company's core business revolves around creating rugged, mission-specific drones that can operate in extreme weather conditions, including heavy rain and high winds. Its primary product is the SKY MANTIS platform, a quadcopter drone known for its one-hour flight endurance, rapid deployment, and modular, quick-release payloads. The flagship SKY MANTIS 2, refined through feedback from frontline use in Ukraine, offers enhanced power, resilience, and advanced imaging capabilities. Payloads include dual HD 30x zoom low-light cameras, thermal imagers, and specialized sensors for tasks like gas detection or high-resolution mapping. Evolve Dynamics also offers the Infinity Tether system, which allows a drone to stay airborne for up to 48 hours by drawing power from the ground, and a "Drone-in-a-Box" (DiaB) concept for autonomous deployment and charging.
Evolve Dynamics serves a range of clients, including the British Army, the UK Ministry of Defence, the Royal Navy, and various police and fire services. Its business model is based on the design, manufacture, and sale of its UAS hardware and accompanying software solutions. The company has secured institutional funding to invest in R&D, scale operations, and expand its team. The drones are designed for Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) missions, providing critical situational awareness and data for emergency response, force protection, and infrastructure inspection.
