Three contracts, kept separate
We build products, advise programmes and deliver specialist technology. Those are different engagements and we do not blend them.
An assessment is a paid deliverable in its own right, and its requirements are written so that anyone can tender against them — including people who are not us. Where we hold a distribution agreement for equipment under consideration, that is stated on the page and in the report. Where the recommended system is one we build ourselves, we say so, and we expect you to seek a second opinion.
If you want the advisory work with a contractual bar on us supplying the outcome, ask for it. We will write it in.
Founded in 2015 and based in Wuhan with around 800 staff, over half of them in research and engineering, GDU is one of the few manufacturers holding independent IP across the whole drone system — airframe, payload, datalink, ground station and the analysis layer. Their platforms are deployed across more than 300 cities for smart-city management, public safety, power-line inspection, emergency response and environmental monitoring. For a public safety programme the significant part is the docking station: automated launch turns a drone from a dispatched asset into a standing capability.
What they make
UAV-P300 — public safety and smart city, with optical and electronic fog penetration
S220 Pro series — inspection and public safety, with onboard recognition of people, vehicles and structural anomalies
Automated docking stations for unattended launch and recovery
UVER platform — fleet and mission management
Capability domains
Distribution
Start with the problem, not the catalogue.
A scoping session establishes what you are actually trying to achieve, what is already in place, and whether we are the right people for it. If we are not, we will say so.
