Why the Drone Industry Needs True Wireless Power


Over the past five years, the drone industry has made significant advances as battery technology has steadily improved. Drones now play a critical role across industries and governments—supporting inspection, surveillance, reconnaissance, and oil, gas, and mineral exploration, among many others. Yet despite these advances, drones remain fundamentally constrained by their power source.


The Battery Bottleneck


Flight time is a defining factor in whether a drone can be deployed for real-world missions, and batteries have always dictated that limit. Beyond flight duration, batteries influence aircraft design, payload capacity, and mission flexibility.


The industry’s typical response has been to pursue lighter, more energy-dense batteries. At IVO, we do not accept this as the solution.


A New Paradigm for Power


The true solution lies in the ability to deliver usable power wirelessly to devices of any size. This week, our focus turns to the drone industry—an industry that urgently needs CBAT and the freedom from batteries it enables.
