Bridging the Distance, Together
Founded in 2023 by Liesl Haris and Benet Hare, GAP Drone was born from a vision to overcome the significant logistical and connectivity challenges faced by remote Australian communities. Leveraging decades of aviation expertise and a commitment to innovation, we are developing advanced Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to provide customisable, carbon-reducing solutions.

Acknowledgement & Commitment
GAP Drone Pty Ltd acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live, work, and operate. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging, and we recognise their enduring connection to Country. We acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
While GAP Drone is not an Indigenous-owned company, we are deeply committed to partnering with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. We respect and honor their stories, traditions, and living cultures, and we are dedicated to ensuring our operations contribute positively to the economic and social outcomes of First Nations peoples and remote communities across Australia. We commit to working in partnership to build a brighter future, together.

Why We Do It: We are driven by the understanding that geographical distance should not equate to limited access.
