Lockton works with AAUS to provide specialist insurance and risk advice for Australian drone and uncrewed systems businesses, operators and technology providers.

Managing risk at the edge of innovation in partnership with Australian Association for Uncrewed Systems

Helping members navigate risk, build resilience and pursue growth with confidence.

A truly holistic risk advisor for uncrewed systems

    Organisations using uncrewed systems are operating in increasingly complex environments.

    Whether delivering services, managing critical assets, supporting infrastructure projects or expanding operations, businesses face a range of risks that extend beyond the technology itself.

    Through our collaboration with AAUS, accredited members have access to specialist risk and insurance advisors who understand the operational, contractual, and regulatory challenges facing organisations working with uncrewed systems. We help businesses identify, manage, and transfer risk so they can operate with confidence and focus on delivering for their clients.

    From insurance program reviews and risk assessments to tailored insurance solutions and claims support, our team works alongside accredited organisations at every stage of their growth. Whether you're an owner-operator, a growing business, or a large enterprise, we provide practical advice designed to protect your people, assets, and reputation.

    Supporting the sector

    We are committed to supporting the continued growth and success of Australia's uncrewed systems community.

    Looking beyond insurance to the bigger picture.

    Risk is about more than policies and premiums. It encompasses your operations, people, technology, contracts, and reputation.

    Taking a client-first and holistic approach, we help accredited operators navigate operational, contractual, regulatory, and emerging risks while developing insurance and risk management strategies designed to protect their people, assets, reputation, and long-term growth.

    Tailored risk advisory for commercial operators

    As a proud collaborator for the Australian Association for Uncrewed Systems (AAUS) community, we help deliver tailored risk, insurance, and advisory solutions to accredited members. Our expertise in emerging technologies and complex risk environments allows us to develop practical solutions that protect your operations and support your long-term success.
