UAS Global

What UAS Global does

UAS Global (UASG), legally UAS Global Private Limited, is a Pakistan-based unmanned aerial systems (UAS) specialist founded in 2016 and headquartered in Karachi, with additional offices in Islamabad and a regional office in Ruislip, United Kingdom. The company designs, distributes, and operates drones and counter-drone systems, targeting Pakistan's defense forces (Army, Navy, Air Force), government infrastructure authorities, and commercial enterprises in energy, construction, agriculture, and telecommunications. Its product portfolio spans fixed-wing and VTOL UAVs (Baby Shark 260, Great Shark 330, Loong 2160, Explorer VTOL, Skycam W, Border Eagle MK-II, Hummer Tethered System), the GS03 Ground Control Station, and a counter-UAV suite (AD-R01 Anti-Drone Gun, AD-X01 tactical system, RF jamming up to 9km, 1500W CO2 laser with 1km effective range, and a non-jamming interdiction system). The company also holds an authorized distribution relationship with international OEMs including Foxtech, Yuneec, UKR Spec System, and Quantum Aviation UK.

The company monetizes across four streams: hardware sales (UAVs, GCS, anti-drone systems) priced in Pakistani Rupees (e.g., Baby Shark 260 at ~PKR 1.39M, Great Shark 330 at ~PKR 1.59M), commercial drone services (aerial mapping, surveying, wind turbine and solar panel inspection, precision agriculture with multispectral imaging, telecom tower inspection, asset digitalization), maintenance and support, and pilot training delivered through the UASG Academy across Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with a heavy emphasis on defense exhibitions (IDEX 2023 Abu Dhabi; IDEAS 2018, 2022 Pakistan), direct relationships with Pakistan's military and government agencies, and channel partnerships with international UAV manufacturers. Named customers include the Pakistan Navy (AMAN Exercise 2019), DHA City Karachi, Gul Ahmed Wind Power, Yunus Energy, Sachal Energy, FWO, NHA, Sindh Government (2,500-acre rice plant count project), Thatta Cement, and Karachi University.

UASG positions itself as an end-to-end UAS ecosystem provider in a market where it claims to be a pioneer, combining indigenous integration with international OEM distribution, and leveraging close ties to Pakistan's defense establishment and UAV policy development. The company operates as a private, founder-led entity (CEO Rafay Shaik) with no disclosed institutional funding, between 11-50 employees, and a subsidiary called Drone Secure focused on anti-drone systems.
