Ripper Corp is proud to announce a new partnership with marine safety and intelligence platform DECKEE, bringing advanced aerial observability capabilities to waterway management agencies and marine rescue organisations across Australia.
The partnership will see Ripper Corp's drone operations expertise integrated into the DECKEE Operations Platform, creating a powerful new capability that combines real-time aerial intelligence with comprehensive recreational waterway data.
For agencies responsible for managing some of Australia's busiest waterways, the collaboration provides a more complete picture of how waterways are being used, helping inform planning, safety initiatives, infrastructure investment and operational decision-making.
A New Level of Visibility
Through the partnership, government agencies and marine consultants will be able to gain real-time visibility of activity on the water during periods of peak demand, including long weekends, school holidays and major boating events.
By combining aerial observation with DECKEE's extensive recreational boating insights, agencies can better understand activity across the full recreational fleet, including vessel types and users that are often difficult to monitor through traditional data collection methods alone.
The integrated solution will support:
- Real-time situational awareness of on-water activity.
- Enhanced planning and infrastructure management.
- Improved safety communications and education campaigns.
- More informed emergency response and search and rescue operations.
- Stronger evidence-based reporting for stakeholders and decision-makers.
Combining Industry-Leading Expertise
For more than a decade, Ripper Corp has been at the forefront of drone innovation, delivering aerial intelligence solutions that support government agencies, emergency services and critical industries across Australia.
This partnership brings together DECKEE's trusted recreational waterway intelligence platform with Ripper Corp's operational expertise in aerial data collection and analysis, creating a unified solution designed to help agencies make faster, more informed decisions.
Supporting Safer, Better-Managed Waterways
Ripper Corp Chief Executive Officer, Jason Young, said the partnership reflects a shared commitment to improving safety and operational outcomes across Australia's waterways.
"Ripper Corp has spent more than a decade supporting Australian agencies and emergency services through the use of aerial intelligence. DECKEE has built an exceptional platform that provides valuable insight into recreational waterway activity across the country. Together, we're creating a capability that gives agencies a clearer understanding of what's happening on the water and helps them respond more effectively when it matters most."
The partnership marks another step forward in the use of drone technology to support public safety, operational efficiency and data-driven decision-making.
