TORONTO, June 24, 2025 /CNW/ - Skyeton Canada Inc. (" Skyeton Canada" or the " Company"), a next generation venture in the unmanned aerial systems (UAS) sector, today announced the successful close of its initial private placement financing round. The offering, which was led by Research Capital Corp, positions Skyeton Canada to initiate scaled commercial operations and accelerate the deployment of its cutting-edge, dual-use drone platforms across defence, and civil / industrial sectors.
This foundational capital raise is expected to enable the phased activation of Skyeton Canada's integrated three-channel business model comprising:
OEM UAV platform sales of its RA™ UAV long-endurance systems;
Drones-as-a-Service (DaaS) offerings for turnkey surveillance and monitoring missions; and
AI-enabled Data-as-a-Service solutions providing actionable geospatial intelligence for enterprise and government customers.
With momentum building for subsequent capital raises, Skyeton Canada is now uniquely positioned to emerge as a leading North American player in the fast-evolving UAV and aerial intelligence market.
"Skyeton will not just build drones—we're also delivering sovereign surveillance capabilities with strategic agility," said a company spokesperson. "From border security to energy infrastructure monitoring, we offer unparalleled endurance, precision, and cost-efficiency in one package—operationally proven, manufactured in Canada, and ready for North America's unique surveillance needs."

Skyeton Canada Inc. is developing as a vertically integrated manufacturer of advanced long-endurance, Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) unmanned aerial vehicles and tailored services to high-demand government and commercial applications. At the core of its offerings is the RA™ UAV platform, an up to 30-hour, 3,000 km / 1,800-mile endurance drone engineered for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions in austere or expansive terrain, including the littoral.
