MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA – September 15, 2025 – GAP Drone is proud to announce that our Co-Founder and CEO, Liesl Haris, was recently featured in an in-depth interview with the aerospace publication, Fly Eye. The article provides unique insights into the company's strategic vision, technological development, and commitment to shaping Australia's future logistics landscape.
In the interview, Liesl discusses the motivation behind establishing GAP Drone to meet the immense, unmet demand for sovereign, long-range middle-mile logistics. She outlines the company's disciplined approach to development, which included a sub-scale trial phase to de-risk key systems, and her "eagle's approach" to charting the long-term strategic game.
A key highlight of the article is the confirmation that full-scale flight testing of the ATLAS-C platform is scheduled to begin in mid-November 2025. This milestone will be a pivotal moment for GAP Drone, validating the model and serving as a catalyst for future partnerships and commercial pathways.
Liesl also emphasises GAP Drone's pragmatic ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) values, which focus on delivering tangible impact through highly efficient engineering rather than relying on slogans. She reinforces the importance of sovereign capability, asserting that building resilient supply chains in Australia is crucial for national wealth and global competitiveness.
The full interview offers a comprehensive look at the company's roadmap, including details on ESG-aligned manufacturing partnerships and ongoing collaboration with regulatory bodies like CASA.
