BAE Systems Australia and Skyryse Partner to Advance Software-Defined Autonomous Flight
Skyryse, the creator of SkyOS™ and BAE Systems Australia, recently announced a strategic partnership to advance software- defined autonomous flight applications.
The partnership brings together SkyOS, Skyryse’s universal operating system for flight, with BAE Systems Australia’s Vehicle Management System (VMS), which powers several advanced autonomous platforms, including
in the land and air domains.
Together, the companies will evaluate the integration of their technologies to pursue government, commercial and defense opportunities for next-generation rotary and fixed-wing aircraft.
SkyOS replaces conventional mechanical flight control systems with a software- defined architecture that supports piloted, optionally piloted, and autonomous flight within a single certifiable platform. Through the partnership, SkyOS will serve as the preferred flight operating system for joint projects with BAE Systems Australia.
“As government, commercial, and defense sectors look to modernize existing fleets while accelerating the adoption of autonomous capabilities, software is becoming the defining technology in aviation,” said Mark Groden, founder and CEO of Skyryse. “SkyOS is uniquely positioned because it combines human-rated flight software with autonomous capabilities in a certifiable, software-defined platform. Together with BAE Systems Australia, we’re exploring how that foundation can enable the next generation of optionally piloted and autonomous aircraft, including future clean- sheet designs.”
“Partnering with Skyryse allows BAE Systems Australia to build on more than 40 years of experience developing sovereign autonomy technologies through our Vehicle Management System, while expanding opportunities in the rapidly evolving autonomous aircraft market,” said Andrew Gresham, managing director of Defense Delivery at BAE Systems Australia. “Together, Skyryse’s software-defined SkyOS and BAE Systems Australia’s VMS bring complementary capabilities that can help deliver the next generation
of optionally piloted and autonomous aircraft for government and commercial customers.”
The partnership reflects a broader shift toward software-defined aviation, where certifiable flight software enables both the modernization of existing aircraft and the development of next-generation autonomous platforms. Together, Skyryse and BAE Systems Australia plan to pursue opportunities spanning piloted, optionally piloted, and fully autonomous aircraft.
