The finalist list features over 30 high-achieving professionals and organisations across 7 award categories. The winners will be announced following the RPAS in Australian Skies 2022 conference, at the AAUS Gala Dinner and Industry Awards in Canberra on Tuesday 29 March 2022.

Shoal provides modelling and simulation to support the early design phase of systems by providing a tool to explore system behaviour using representative mathematical models. This enables analysis of a system through simulations to gain a deep understanding of performance, without building a physical model. The Shoal Aerospace and Risk Capability (SHARC) software toolkit was expanded to model UAS for our clients to quantify the individual and collective risk to people.
