UVify builds the full swarm stack: IFO drones fly fully autonomous, centimeter-accurate choreographed missions in fleets of thousands (5,293 drones flown simultaneously in the May 2024 Guinness record show). The company is the sole Korean member of the Dronecode Foundation board, which stewards the PX4 autopilot underpinning its platforms, and its IFO-S is marketed as a swarm research platform for aerial-robotics labs. Fleet operations integrate with third-party show-control software such as SPH Engineering's Drone Show Software, which was scaled to run 1,000+ UVify IFO drones per operator.
