Founded on the Frontlines. Trusted in the Skies.
Mirragin wasn't built in a boardroom. It was born from firsthand experience with the power and the risks of autonomous technology.
2008 | The Spark
Rob Sutton, serving as an Aviation Engineer in Afghanistan, witnessed coalition soldiers using drones for routine patrols. The realisation was immediate: this technology could keep soldiers safe by keeping them out of harm's way during dangerous missions.2017 | The Beginning
After years of experience in defence and seeing the transformative power of autonomous systems, Rob founded Mirragin RAS Consulting, specialising in drone, robotics, and autonomous systems strategy and implementation.The Name | Mirragin
Mirragin is a Yuggera word meaning "stars." It honours Rob's vision and the lands where his two sons were born. A tribute to the past 60,000 years of Indigenous history in the region.Today
Mirragin has grown into Australia's most trusted drone consultancy, serving defence, government, emergency services, and critical infrastructure operators. We've launched the Mirragin Australian Drone Ecosystem (MADE)—a national coordination platform that connects organizations with vetted, mission-ready drone suppliers fast.
We focus on strategy and project management, navigate complex regulations with ease, and implement cutting-edge technology that delivers real results. Most importantly, we keep your people safe.

Why Hundreds of Organisations Nationwide Trust Us for Fast and Hassle-Free Drone Deployment
"Saved us months of procurement headaches"
We needed drone capability for a critical infrastructure inspection program across three states, but our traditional procurement process was going to take 6+ months. MADE connected us with credentialed operators in less than a week. The team coordinated everything from compliance checks to scheduling and even data delivery formats.
"Finally, someone who understands government requirements"
Working with MADE was refreshing. They understood our procurement constraints, security requirements, and the need for full accountability. The suppliers they matched us with were already familiar with government workflows and CASA regulations. Professional execution from start to finish.
"Deployed during an emergency—no questions asked"
When we had a major incident requiring immediate aerial reconnaissance, MADE had operators on-site within 18 hours. The level of professionalism and mission-readiness was exactly what we needed in a high-pressure situation. Highly recommend for emergency services.
"Best decision for our mining operations"
We'd been coordinating drone surveys with multiple contractors, and it was a nightmare. MADE streamlined everything. One point of contact, vetted operators who understood mining environments, and data delivered exactly how our systems needed it. Efficiency went up right away!
"They don't just find suppliers. They manage the whole process"
What set MADE apart was the level of support. We were new to drone programs and honestly didn't know where to start. Their team walked us through capability options, matched us with the right mix of training and operational support, and stayed involved throughout deployment. It felt like having an expert partner, not just a referral service.
