ADaaS - Autonomous Drone-as-a-Service.

Mario Demanuele

Co-Founder & Technical Director | Accountable Manager

Mario has worked with unmanned aircraft since the late 1990s, building camera-carrying drone prototypes before commercial platforms existed. As co-founder of Aerial Malta, he spent many years designing, adapting and operating aerial systems in demanding professional environments, developing a practical understanding of aircraft, payloads, communications, automation and the regulatory framework surrounding unmanned aviation. At Ataria, he leads technical development, aviation operations, systems architecture, aircraft and payload integration, field testing and regulatory planning for ADaaS deployments. His approach starts with the client's problem rather than a preferred aircraft, weighing different technical and operational routes before building a structured plan covering technology, infrastructure, safety, regulation and implementation.

Warren Brimmer

Co-Founder & Operations Director

Warren has worked alongside Mario since 2011, bringing more than two decades of production, logistics and client-relationship experience into the development and commercial growth of Aerial Malta. That background (including production management and a long-running television production that stayed on air for 24 years) built a strong understanding of logistics, scheduling, people and delivering complex work consistently over long periods. At Ataria, he leads operations and client development across the business's ADaaS engagements, connecting technical capability with real-world requirements and keeping projects moving from initial discussion through planning and execution. Warren also holds EASA UAS qualifications through STS-02, giving him a practical understanding of the regulatory and operational environment Ataria works within.

Kenneth Bone

Co-Founder & Business Development Director

Kenneth brings over 30 years of experience in the technology field, ranging from cybersecurity to the development of complex applications and AI. He founded Seasus, Ataria's partner for digital systems, in 1995 while studying Information Technology at the University of Malta, growing it from one of Malta's early web-development businesses into an international technology company. He also currently serves as Vice Chair of Malta's National Cybersecurity Consultation Council and expert consultant to the European Commission on cybersecurity, AI and innovation. At Ataria, he is responsible for client and partner onboarding as well as digital systems, AI and compliance, ensuring ADaaS operations integrate securely into the communications, cloud infrastructure, data management and software environments in operation.
