What Are They?
Built for UAV Command.
Ready for the Field.
Skyward Command Pods are commercial-grade modular units originally engineered to serve as permanent ground infrastructure for drone and robotic fleet operations. Contracted for Verizon's elite UAV program, each pod was built to host pilots, operators, and systems engineers running continuous beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) flight operations.
With the Verizon Skyward program concluded after a single year of deployment, these pristine, lightly used pods are now available — at a fraction of their original cost.
Turn-Key, Self-Contained Systems
Fully outfitted with HVAC, server room, command displays, hydraulic roof hatches for UAV launch, telescoping signal antennas, and complete utility hookups — ready to operate on day one.
Rapid Field Deployment
Built on a heavy-duty mobile chassis, each pod transports and redeploys without complex buildout — ideal for remote job sites, temporary operations, and field staging areas.

Key Features
Self-Contained. Operations-Ready.
Every system aboard was engineered for continuous drone operations — not adapted from general-purpose infrastructure. These pods are the real thing.
Hydraulic UAV Launch Hatch
Launch your industrial grade drones by preloading inside, then open the hatch and lift them outside for sky deployment.
Integrated Command Center & Displays
Configuration equipped with high resolution built-in multi-screen command stations for flight control, operation, monitoring, and recording. Complete with cabling, infrastructure, and a server room with full rack space, patch panels, servers, hard drive arrays, and climate control.
Telescoping Signal Antennas
Deployable high-gain antenna masts support C2 link, telemetry, and broadband data relay across extended BVLOS corridors with minimal setup time.
Climate-Rated Enclosure
Full HVAC system rated for extreme wind, temperature swings, and seismic activity — protecting sensitive avionics, hardware, and crew in any operational environment.
Outdoor SkyDeck
Elevated observation deck provides clear sightlines for visual flight monitoring, antenna positioning, and field coordination during active drone operations.
Full Certification Package
Includes complete structural design certifications, quality and inspection records, and operations and maintenance manuals from original manufacture.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What's included in a pair?
Two separate pods, Unit 1 and Unit 2, sold and deployed together as one command center, and the $475k price covers both. Unit 1 has a server room, ADA restroom and the monitoring room; Unit 2 has a second server room, a kitchenette and the drone launch room with the hydraulic lift. Walk-throughs of both units are above.
Are these units new or used?
Lightly used — originally built and deployed for Verizon's elite drone program in 2022, then decommissioned after one operational year when the program concluded. They remain in excellent condition and are delivered turnkey with full documentation.
What drone operations can they support?
These pods were purpose-built for UAV command: BVLOS flight control, drone fleet management, real-time telemetry monitoring, payload data processing, and UAV launch and recovery via the hydraulic roof hatch system. They can support multi-operator configurations and 24/7 continuous operations.
What's included in the purchase?
Each unit includes server room infrastructure, command display mounting systems, hydraulic roof hatches, telescoping antennas, SkyDeck, full HVAC, kitchenette, restroom, ADA ramp, and complete structural and operational documentation. Bulk pricing is available for multiple units.
Can the interior be reconfigured for my operation?
Yes. The modular layout accommodates custom rack configurations, additional workstation positions, specialized comms setups, and operation-specific equipment integration. Post-delivery customization is straightforward given the open floor plan and existing infrastructure.
Do you offer delivery and on-site setup?
Yes. Full delivery, site leveling, utility hookup, and commissioning support is available for an additional fee. We coordinate transport logistics and can assist with site assessment prior to delivery. We focus on buyers in the Western and Central U.S.; East Coast delivery is possible, but freight costs are significantly higher.
Where are the units currently located?
Mulino, Oregon. In-person inspections can be arranged for serious, qualified buyers. Contact us to schedule a site visit.
Are they mobile or fixed-site installations?
Both. The heavy-duty mobile chassis enables transport and redeployment to new sites, making them ideal for operators who need the flexibility to move between job sites. They also function as permanent installations with full utility hookups.
