[ who we are ]
About us.
SkyArc is a service-disabled veteran-owned aerial data and inspection company based in the Treasure Valley. We help organizations see their sites, assets, incidents, and search areas with clarity that ground teams simply can’t get from eye level.
Our role is straightforward: capture clean, verifiable aerial data so our clients can defend decisions, avoid wasted trips, and keep work moving. Whether it’s a construction site, farmland, an infrastructure asset, a claims scene, or a defined search box, SkyArc delivers visuals that actually support operational needs—not hobby-grade snapshots.

The Founder
Clear Intent Before Action
Every mission begins with purpose. Chris learned to define objectives precisely so actions support the real goal—not guesswork.
Planning That Respects Constraints & Risk
Years in special operations built a planning style that accounts for timing, airspace, safety, and real-world limitations.
Tight Execution Under Pressure
Disciplined, repeatable execution—especially when conditions change—is central to how SkyArc conducts field operations.
Honest Reporting & Zero Tolerance for Bad Information
Chris brings a commitment to clean reporting, accuracy, and information integrity—no sloppy data, no vague results.
SkyArc was founded by Christopher “Chris” Krull, a former U.S. Army Sergeant First Class with eighteen years in special operations and nine deployments to the Middle East. His career with the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment shaped a disciplined, mission-focused approach that now drives every SkyArc operation.

About the Owner
SkyArc founder Chris Krull is a retired U.S. Army Sergeant First Class with nearly two decades of small-unit and battalion-level leadership. He served in senior roles including acting First Sergeant and Battalion Operations Sergeant Major, where he was responsible for planning, resourcing, and executing complex missions under real-time pressure.
His job was simple and unforgiving: turn vague intent into clear plans, brief them cleanly, and deliver results while managing risk for everyone involved. That same mindset now drives SkyArc. Every flight is built around defined objectives, repeatable checklists, and documented outcomes that project managers, superintendents, and agency leads can defend in a meeting, not just admire on a screen.
Chris is based in the Treasure Valley and works directly with regional builders, landowners, and public agencies. When you hire SkyArc, you are working with the person who designs the mission, flies the aircraft, and signs his name to the data you receive.

What SkyArc Does
Who We Serve
Across all mission types, the goal stays the same:
Give clients a view they can rely on, review, reference, and hand upstream without the usual ambiguity of ground-only photos or verbal reports.
SkyArc supports decision-makers across the region who need trustworthy, time-fixed, and location-accurate information:
Mission Execution With Military Precision
Every mission is planned, flown, and documented with the same discipline our founder used over 18 years in Army special operations with 1/75th Rangers.
Our Mission Process
How a Mission Works
Delivering reliable engineering solutions for power generation, distribution, and energy-efficient industrial systems. We support renewable, hybrid, and conventional energy infrastructures with precision and long-term performance.
01
You define the
decision.
Tell us what you need to confirm, document, prove, measure, compare, or search. Every mission starts with a decision—not a flight.
02
We confirm details and constraints.
We validate the site or incident location, timing, access needs, airspace, and what we can realistically and safely capture.
03
We plan and fly the
mission.
Structured routes. Repeatable angles. Field discipline. Adjustments if conditions change. We don’t freelance in the sky; we execute.
04
We deliver clear, verifiable outputs.
Maps, imagery, summaries, and comparison sets—organized and ready for your project management, claims, maintenance, or review workflow.
Where We Operate
SkyArc primarily serves Boise, Nampa, Meridian, Caldwell, and the entire Treasure Valley, with the ability to travel regionally across Idaho and neighboring states when projects or incidents require it. We operate under FAA Part 107, meet all baseline safety and regulatory requirements, and coordinate with local agencies whenever missions intersect with sensitive areas or public operations.
What We Stand For
SkyArc exists for one reason: To give clients clean aerial truth that saves time, reduces risk, and strengthens decisions. Whether documenting a site, reviewing an incident, checking a rooftop, or searching a defined area for a missing pet, we approach each mission with the belief that information must be accurate, defensible, and delivered with integrity.
[ Integrity in Every File]
How We Protect Data Integrity
SkyArc doesn’t deliver images that “look” like evidence; we deliver digital records that are evidence.
Every file includes its original, unaltered metadata:
- EXIF timestamps
- GPS coordinates tied to camera position
- Altitude and aircraft attitude metrics
- Camera angle and gimbal orientation
- UTC capture time for auditing and claims
- Direct linkage to mission flight logs
This provides a verifiable chain of capture that supports claims, progress reviews, incident reports, maintenance planning, and any situation where someone may later ask, “When exactly was this taken, and from where?” We never strip metadata, rename files in ways that break chronology, or alter source imagery. What you receive is the true digital record tied to the mission log—clean, defensible, and traceable.
