PABLO AIR

PABLO AIR is a South Korean drone technology company founded in 2018 by CEO Kim Young-joon, specializing in autonomous swarm control for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The company's core business revolves around its proprietary swarm coordination technology and its integrated ground control system, PAMNet (PABLO AIR Mobility Network). This software platform enables the real-time monitoring and control of multiple unmanned vehicles, including drones, autonomous vehicles, and unmanned trucks, across various communication protocols like satellite, LTE, and Wi-Fi.

The company operates across several key markets: drone delivery, drone art shows, defense, and urban air mobility (UAM) traffic management. In the logistics sector, PABLO AIR has conducted numerous drone delivery projects, including Korea's first convenience store drone delivery service in partnership with 7-Eleven. They have also established a U.S. subsidiary in Arizona and are collaborating with American companies to expand their drone delivery network, targeting medical supplies and general logistics. Their drone fleet includes the long-distance 'BlueBird' and the short-distance 'BigBird'.

PABLO AIR is also known for its spectacular drone light shows, holding multiple Guinness World Records for the largest number of pyro drones flown simultaneously. A key product in this area is the PabloX F40, a multifunctional drone with integrated LED and pyrotechnic capabilities. In the defense sector, the company is developing a Swarm Drone Combat System and offers tactical loitering munitions like the PabloM S10s. To bolster its defense manufacturing capabilities, PABLO AIR merged with VOLK, a defense components manufacturer, in 2025. For the emerging UAM market, the company has developed 'UrbanLinkX', an AI-driven traffic management platform that won a CES 2024 Innovation Award.

Since its inception with seed funding in 2018, PABLO AIR has successfully raised significant capital through multiple funding rounds. This includes a Series A round in 2020, a Pre-Series B in 2021, and a Pre-IPO bridge funding round in early 2026, with investors including Korean Air, KTB Network, and Lotte Ventures. The company is preparing for a potential listing on the KOSDAQ stock exchange.
