Raybird is a versatile fixed-wing unmanned aerial system
NATO Class I, U.S. DoD Group 2
350,000+ hours — flown in combat missions
Raybird is an autonomous unmanned aerial system designed for complex missions with minimal operator involvement. Even in manual mode, most control functions are handled by the autopilot, reducing the risk of human error and ensuring stable flight
The system is engineered to operate in GPS-denied environments where navigation signals are lost or actively jammed. If communication with the ground station is interrupted, Raybird continues its mission along a preprogrammed route and returns to base using an autonomous navigation system resistant to interference and extreme conditions
Raybird is equipped with an automated landing system that operates in both standard and emergency scenarios. The landing process relies on a parachute and a pneumatic airbag
During descent, a mechanism flips the aircraft, allowing it to land upside-down onto the airbag, protecting both the payload and the system itself
The system autonomously determines the optimal moment to deploy the parachute and activate the airbag. Safety features prevent accidental or unauthorized deployment
