Clogworks Technologies Feature in YPO Drone Framework Agreement

Clogworks Technologies part of a consortium in YPO drone framework agreement

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) is a publicly owned procurement arm of the UK government that supplies products and services to a wide range of customers including emergency services. It recently ran an £8m framework tender designed specifically to select companies able to provide tailored drone hardware and services for the Emergency Services and Blue Light sector in the UK.

C logworks Technologies is proud to announce that we have been accepted as part of a consortium (led by Skyports and also featuring Wingcopter) on this YPO framework agreement.

Our consortium is one of few companies selected able to offer solutions to the four lots required, namely: Drones purchases, associated products and repairs, maintenance and services of hardware products, as well as associated flying services.

In particular, Clogworks Technologies is well placed to offer hardware and supporting packages for sub 20kg multirotor drones for surveillance and reconnaissance applications and delivery applications.

Blue Light surveillance would typically require a dual sensor payload with a daylight camera and 30x optical zoom and a high performance infrared camera.

Emergency deliveries would typically include blood and/or medicines and drones would require sufficient payload capacity and flight time to deliver this reliably to location.

Drone applications within the Blue Light sector are increasing all the time and in order to maximise return on investment (ROI), it makes a lot of sense to acquire a multicopter with variable payload configurations that can be upgraded to allow for flexible use in line with emergency services evolving needs.

Cloqworks Dark Matter range of products is uniquely placed to cater for this need.

The Dark Matter® hX and qD Gen 3 are the new 2025 versions of our proven aircraft. So, what's new? On the exterior, our striking design bares a lot of resemblance to the first generation. We have also kept the modular aspects, providing better flexibility and future-proofing for our customers. But don't let that fool you in to thinking that's all we have changed. Benefitting of years of customers feedback and continuous improvement as well as the industry development in avionics, sensors and batteries, these systems are better than ever! The payload capacity is improved further thanks to our new bespoke drivetrain and stronger chassis. These aircraft offer up to 84 minutes flight time each. The aircraft are designed for quick deployment; assembly can be conducted in a couple of minutes in the field without the need of a single tool. We can integrate gimballed EO, IR or dual sensor cameras to replace our previously fixed FPV camera, leaving the payload bay free for further sensors. The platforms are compatible with a wide range of payloads from partners we have been working with over the years and new ones. The systems can be configured with various tethers, cameras, Lidars or emergency response equipment, to name but a few.  These aircraft are therefore capable of conducting many aerial applications.
