Wilmington’s Skygear Solutions acquires NJ drone company

The drone community in Delaware has been quite active this year.
From developing drone security to the arrival of on-demand drone insurance, the First State has the resources to carve a place for itself in the industry. Drone company Skygear Solutions has been leveraging those resources: it recently acquired another drone company called NJ Sky Camera, Skygear CEO Daniel Herbert told us. He would not disclose financial details.
Skygear is taking on one NJ Sky Camera employee, owner Eric Goldstein, Herbert said. Two others were laid off.
Initially, Skygear offered drone equipment sales, unmanned aircraft systems flight training (“unmanned aircraft systems” being another fancy word for drones), aerial services and event exhibition services. The new acquisition, Herbert said, will give the company an expanded set of resources, like NJ Sky Camera’s customers and a relationship with automated drone software company AutoFlight Logic.
Skygear now has employees in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and now Florida, where NJ Sky Camera has an office. Goldstein will run that office.
