Our Story

From academic research to industrial innovation

Roots in Academic Excellence

The Chimanimani Drone Technology (Pvt) Ltd T/A SkySentry Mutapa was conceived from a University of Zimbabwe research project, our enterprise quickly evolved to fill a critical gap in domestic drone manufacturing capacity. Currently the SkySentry Mutapa is revamping the development process of the Reaction Alpha-Z a policing drone to meet the current market demand.

African Solutions for African Challenges

We understand that Africa faces unique environmental, security, and agricultural challenges that require tailored technological solutions. Our drones are designed specifically for African conditions. From monitoring vast agricultural lands to supporting disaster response and border security, our technology is built to perform in the diverse and demanding African landscape.

Global Standards, Local Manufacturing

While we maintain international quality standards, all our drones are manufactured locally in Zimbabwe. This approach not only creates jobs but also ensures that maintenance and support are readily available. Our local manufacturing capability reduces import dependencies and strengthens Zimbabwe's technological sovereignty.

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS

Milestones that define our journey in drone technology innovation

Company Foundation

Chimanimani Drone Technology (Pvt) Ltd T/A SkySentry Mutapa was founded as a commercial spin-off from a University of Zimbabwe research initiative, transforming academic insight into a high-impact drone technology enterprise. Our foundation symbolizes the bridge between research and real-world application — built on strong technical roots, a visionary team, and a clear mission to revolutionize Africa's aerial innovation landscape.

National Drone Technology

SkySentry Mutapa has been entrusted with co-developing the National Drone Technology Centre, a strategic national initiative at Zimbabwe's leading research institution. This partnership positions us at the heart of Zimbabwe's emerging UAV industry, shaping policies, technology standards, and integration frameworks that will define the region's next generation of autonomous systems.

Manufacturing

We are currently in the advanced development phase of the Reaction Alpha-Z, Zimbabwe's first-generation policing and surveillance drone designed for rapid deployment and mission adaptability.
This ongoing project demonstrates our full-spectrum engineering capability- from systems design and simulation to prototyping and field testing -and establishes the groundwork for scalable local UAV manufacturing across security, firefighting, and precision agriculture sectors.
