Technology Innovations

While they do have some proprietary technology around sensing and data storage, most of sky-futures technology is actually from third party provider Inspection2. When ICR Integrity acquired Sky-futures, they did not buy the AI technology that was still in early development, as part of the deal - that technology was spun off into it's own company and is now providing those capabilities back to sky-futures on contract.
