SEALSQ Secures Autonomous Aerial Vehicles (AAVs) with Industry-Leading Solutions in Partnership with Major Drone Manufacturers
August 20 2024 - 8:29AM
SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or
"Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling
Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and
software products, today announced that it is solidifying its
position in the rapidly expanding market of Autonomous Aerial
Vehicles (AAVs) via key partnerships with major drone
manufacturers.
SEALSQ’s NIST FIPS 140-2 and 140-3 compliant and
Common Criteria EAL5+ certified semiconductors are increasingly
being adopted to protect autonomous systems from cyber threats
while enabling secure data transmission, embedded software
integrity, and unique identity management.
The Rise of Autonomous Aerial Vehicles
(AAVs)AAVs, also known as autonomous aircraft, operate
without direct human intervention. Unlike traditional drones, which
are predominantly designed for surveillance and delivery, AAVs are
engineered for human transport. Equipped with GPS, inertial
navigation systems, and sophisticated sensors, these vertical
take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles operate in confined spaces and
provide quicker, more efficient travel.
Recent Partnerships with Leading Drone
ManufacturersSEALSQ has established key collaborations
with prominent drone manufacturers such as Parrot and AgEagle,
bringing advanced security solutions to the forefront of unmanned
aerial systems (UAS).
- Parrot has
integrated SEALSQ’s semiconductors in their ANAFI Ai and
SKYCONTROLLER 4 models, ensuring that critical data remains secure
during sensitive operations. SEALSQ’s VaultIC405 secure element
plays a pivotal role in guaranteeing cryptographic operations,
software integrity, and secure drone-to-ground control system (GCS)
pairing. The partnership offers unmatched protection and enhances
Parrot’s ability to conduct secure infrastructure inspections and
other specialized missions. Parrot is Europe's
leading commercial UAV group, that develops and markets a
complementary range of micro-UAV equipment and image analysis
software dedicated to companies, large groups and governments. Its
offer is mainly centered on three vertical markets: inspection for
3D mapping and geomatics, defense and security, and Precision
agriculture. See announcement here.
- AgEagle, a leading
provider of full stack drone, sensors and software solutions for
customers worldwide in the commercial and government verticals has
incorporated SEALSQ’s technology into its eBee VISION UAS, designed
for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
This NIST FIPS140-2 Level 3 compliant and Common Criteria EAL5+
certified secure element enables encryption, secure communications,
and tamper-proof identity management. The eBee VISION is part of
the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU)
program, further validating SEALSQ’s critical role in defense and
public safety applications. See announcement here.
Expanding Market
OpportunitiesThe global commercial drone market is
projected to reach $38 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 7.9%
from 2022 to 2027, with sectors like public safety, defense, and
infrastructure inspection driving demand for robust encryption and
privacy features. SEALSQ is positioned at the center of this
growth, offering industry-leading solutions that meet the rigorous
security standards demanded by the market.
Next-Generation Drone Communications and
ControlSEALSQ is also testing satellite-to-drone
communication systems secured by its semiconductors. The company
announced last November its collaboration with Parrot to enhance
the security and interconnectivity of Parrot drones using WISeKey's
satellite network. The strategic partnership aims to harness the
potential of WISeKey International Holdings (Nasdaq: WKEY / SIX:
WIHN), SEALSQ’s parent company, global satellite network (WISeSat)
to increase drone coverage and control, enabling pilots to operate
and observe drones no matter their geographic distance. See
announcement here.
A Secure Future for Autonomous Aerial
VehiclesAs drone applications evolve from individual
vehicles to swarms and interconnected systems, interoperability and
cybersecurity remain critical. SEALSQ’s solutions address these
challenges, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and authentication
across the entire network. By embedding secure elements into each
AAV, SEALSQ is paving the way for the future of secure, reliable,
and efficient autonomous aerial systems.For more information, visit

About SEALSQ
SEALSQ focuses on selling integrated solutions
based on Semiconductors, PKI and Provisioning services, while
developing Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products.
Our solutions can be used in a variety of applications, from
Multi-Factor Authentication tokens, Smart Energy, Smart Home
Appliances, Medical and Healthcare and IT Network Infrastructure,
to Automotive, Industrial Automation and Control Systems.
Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to
cryptographic methods that are secure against an attack by a
quantum computer. As quantum computers become more powerful, they
may be able to break many of the cryptographic methods that are
currently used to protect sensitive information, such as RSA and
Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). PQC aims to develop new
cryptographic methods that are secure against quantum attacks. For
