Flare Bright is a rapidly growing aerospace company focused on autonomy in small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Its core product, SnapShot, is designed to be the lightest and simplest way to capture aerial images at the single press of a button. The company is ruggedising SnapShot for defence and security (funded by the MOD’s Defence and Security Accelerator), developing SnapShot to measure winds up to 100m as part of an Innovate UK project to create live wind maps, and building a precision air‑dropped drone for small-item deliveries. Flare Bright is increasing endurance, controllability and capability of small drones and plans to introduce thermal imagery soon. The business has grown to twelve staff and, together with government grants and contracts, reports that the new funding secures operations through to 2022.
