Mobility One Signs Strategic MOU with Kenya’s Phantom Technology

Collaboration on AI-driven drone monitoring and automated response for KWS wildlife protection projects

Mobility One, a developer of integrated drone and robotics operation platforms, announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Phantom Technology, a Kenyan aerospace startup, to strengthen strategic cooperation and jointly participate in projects with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).

The partnership aims to enhance surveillance and safety management across large wildlife conservation areas by combining Phantom Technology’s local operational expertise with M1UCS (Mobility One Unified Control System), Mobility One’s integrated command and control platform.

Phantom Technology, founded in 2020, is a Kenyan aerospace startup backed by the Alamaya Group. Leveraging the group’s network in regulatory compliance and consulting services, the company specializes in AI-powered drone solutions designed to address security and environmental challenges.

Phantom Technology provides drone-based services in areas such as AI-driven real-time monitoring, precision agriculture, and energy infrastructure inspection. The company is also actively collaborating with KWS (Kenya Wildlife Service) on wildlife monitoring initiatives.

Within the KWS project, AI-powered drone systems are used to detect wildlife movements—such as elephants approaching human settlements—in real time and issue early warnings, helping prevent conflicts between wildlife and local communities.

Through the new collaboration, the two companies will integrate Phantom’s operational capabilities with Mobility One’s platform to deliver centralized drone fleet management, automated response systems, and real-time data integration.

Using the M1UCS platform, drone fleets deployed across multiple regions will be centrally managed from a command center in Nairobi, enabling more efficient monitoring of vast conservation areas.

In addition, when Phantom’s sensor networks detect boundary breaches or wildlife movements, M1UCS’s AI system will automatically dispatch response drones, creating an automated operational workflow designed to support rapid intervention.

Drone-collected real-time aerial data will also be transmitted directly to the KWS command system, enabling faster situational awareness and data-driven decision-making in the field.

A representative from Mobility One stated, “This collaboration represents a new model that combines local operational expertise with an integrated drone command-and-control platform. We expect it to expand the application of drone technologies in wildlife protection and conservation management across Africa.”

Mobility One develops and operates M1UCS, an integrated platform designed for the coordinated operation of drones and robotic systems. The company provides services including large-area aerial surveying, facility inspection, and safety management, and is actively expanding its presence in global markets, including Africa.
