17 December 2025, RocketDNA Ltd (ASX: RKT) (RocketDNA or the Company), a technology services company specialising in AI-powered drone data solutions, has received approximately A$1M in new purchase orders from existing customers, relating to the expansion of existing autonomous drone programs.
These orders reflect increasing demand for automation, improved safety tools and faster access to geospatial data across multiple mining regions.
Land and Expand Strategy Takes Shape
RocketDNA has now deployed its xBot solution across every Australian state except Tasmania (as at 18 December 2025).
Customers are reporting productivity gains and improved safety outcomes, prompting additional xBot orders to scale operational coverage.
Adoption of the Company’s SiteTube visualisation and reporting platform continues to increase.
SiteTube provides real-time access to survey outputs processed through RocketDNA’s cloud-based platform, supporting planning, geotechnical review and short-interval operational control.
Mining companies are investing in technologies that improve efficiency and reduce exposure to hazardous environments.
RocketDNA’s automated systems are being deployed in response to this demand.
Managing Director & CEO of RocketDNA, Christopher Clark, commented: “Over this last year, we’ve really focused on the service delivery fundamentals and overall product mix, increasing our software portfolio.
While initial trials or single-unit projects may have taken some time to cross the finish line due to safety, cybersecurity, and regulatory processes, we knew the ROI for customers would be immediate.
What we are starting to witness now is that customers are not only scaling horizontally with more autonomous xBot deployments, but also scaling vertically with our software and data tools, entrenching us within their operational workflows.
As more customers become aware of the real-time productivity gains and safety benefits of autonomous drones, we believe that RocketDNA is strongly positioned to meet this growing demand.”
