Precision Autonomy uses software and algorithms to create a dynamic, value-driven insurance experience for an increasingly automated world. We are focused on practical solutions for commercial drones today, with a vision of building commercial global technology solutions for real time, dynamic pricing of risk based on operational variables across air, water, and land robots.
Our history
Precision Autonomy launched in Australia–where early small aircraft regulation dates back to 2002. We’ve completed beta trials with global partners, and are now enabling insurers and reinsurers to offer ‘Pay as you Go’ drone insurance with our robust technology platform and integrations.
Our leadership
Our founders have 20+ years of insurance and capital markets experience from startups to leading multinationals, including diverse backgrounds in technology, finance, marketing, design, and risk management. Precision Autonomy’s difference is not only in our technology stack but also our business processes and scale distribution experience.
Our Future
Precision Autonomy is actively expanding our footprint globally. We’re introducing intelligent, algorithm-based technology and workflows to global partners through trials and full program launches in the US, APAC and Europe, and our API integrations are turning our technology into not just an insurance solution, but an ecosystem for commercial drone logistics and data tracking.
