Since February 2026, ASX-listed drone technology company RocketDNA has completed approximately 4,400 autonomous drone missions across BMA’s Peak Downs, Goonyella, Saraji and Caval Ridge operations, logging more than 2,000 hours of flight time and averaging around 1,500 flights per month.
The deployment operates through RocketDNA’s autonomous ‘Drone in a Box’ system, allowing mine personnel to request drone missions directly through the company’s Skylink platform, with processed data delivered within 15 to 20 minutes and no drone pilot required onsite. Missions include inspections, survey work, panoramic imagery, thermal monitoring and live video feeds supporting operational, survey and emergency response teams.
