who we are

A window onto the unmanned systems world

RPS Info has been built around a simple idea. The people who design, fly, regulate and buy remotely piloted systems rarely sit in the same room, yet they all need the same reference material to do their jobs well. This portal gathers that material in one place and keeps it open to anyone who registers. Aerial platforms get most of the headlines, but the library also covers terrestrial and maritime systems, because the engineering and the policy questions overlap far more than outsiders assume.

The site is maintained by Blyenburgh & Co in Paris, a firm that has worked inside this industry since well before the word “drone” entered everyday speech. Over those years the company assembled an archive of brochures, datasheets, technical papers and photographs that would otherwise be scattered across hundreds of manufacturer websites, many of which no longer exist.

What the Global Access Initiative is for

The Global Access Initiative is the framework that ties this site to its sister portal, rpas-regulations.com. One side documents the hardware and the companies behind it. The other tracks the rules that decide where and how that hardware can be flown. Read together they give a reader something close to a full picture, which is rare in a field that changes its regulations almost every quarter.

Access is free once you register. We ask for registration not to gate the content behind a paywall, but to keep the library oriented toward genuine industry users – operators, manufacturers, regulators, researchers and the trade press – rather than automated scrapers.

Help keep the archive alive

An archive is only as good as the material people send to it. If your company has issued a press release, a new datasheet or a set of product photographs, we want them. Send them to Adriaan van Blyenburgh and they will be added to the relevant section. Companies that want to support the running costs of the site can reach Peter van Blyenburgh directly.
