Sky-Watch is a company founded in 2009 that develops advanced sensor platforms for complex environments. They have 25 employees working in R&D, industrial design, software, and hardware. Their flagship product is the Huginn X1 rotary UAV. At the AGILE project kick-off meeting, Sky-Watch presented their involvement in work packages related to gateway hardware, device management, and pilot execution and evaluation. They expect the project will help them access new IoT markets and technology partners. Sky-Watch will provide UAV platforms and expertise in remote sensing and control for the pilot projects.
