DroneTalks | Glen Lynch on Volatus’ $9B defense pivot and the "Many-to-One" #BVLOS #drone operation’s future | Aerial Cities 2025

‘We don’t chase what we would like to do; we chase the combination of what the technology allows and what the regulation enables today." — Glen Lynch, CEO of #Volatus Aerospace. At our annual, invitation-only, C-level event, Aerial Cities 2025 in Dublin, the conversation moved past "#drone hype" into the hard reality of sovereign defense and unit economics. In an exclusive interview with Marta Shavgulidze of ‪@murzilliconsulting‬, Glen Lynch revealed how Volatus is transforming into a cornerstone of #Canada’s industrial base. Highlights from the interview: With 75% of every Canadian #defense dollar currently leaving the country, Volatus is "repatriating" spend through its new 200,000 sq. ft. Hub. Mission Volatus has cracked the code on labor costs. By moving from a 2:1 pilot-to-drone ratio to 1:5, they are delivering a staggering 70% reduction in field personnel costs. While Canada is the primary focus, Volatus targeted Africa, SE Asia and USA as critical markets With $10.6M+ quarterly revenue and a $9M #NATO contract on the horizon for Q1 2026, Volatus is proving that "practical visionaries" win the race.
