Deep Reconnaissance

Eyes Deep Behind Enemy Lines

The Raybird small tactical aircraft (NATO Class I, U.S. DoD Group 2) operates where others can’t reach. Deep reconnaissance is one of the key applications of Raybird. With 28+ hours of continous flight and a range of up to 2,500 km, it conducts reconnaissance missions deep behind enemy lines — detecting troop movements, depots, air defense systems, and logistics. High-precision optics deliver high-quality imaging with detail down to a few centimeters, while the compact form makes the aircraft virtually invisible to most air defense systems

Professional Tool for Aerial Reconnaissance

Raybird is a key asset of the Ukrainian Defense Forces for deep reconnaissance missions. It carries up to 5 kg of payload, including a high-precision day/night camera that delivers top-quality video, and a SAR radar that enables detailed surveillance through clouds and fog

Invisible Observer

Flying at altitudes up to 5,500 m, with a low thermal signature and compact dimensions, Raybird is virtually undetectable by air defense systems. It operates deep behind enemy lines, transmitting real-time video from over 220 km — even without GPS or under enemy electronic warfare pressure

Endurance That Delivers

With over 28 hours of flight time, Raybird conducts full-scale reconnaissance missions — covering 2,500+ km and detecting enemy troop movements, logistics hubs, radar positions, and more. One sortie handles dozens of tasks — and each aircraft is built for up to 200 missions

Fully Autonomous Operations

Launch-ready in just 15 minutes from a catapult — no tools or infrastructure required. Raybird can take off and land repeatedly with minimal risk to the payload. In case of signal loss or threat, the system autonomously makes decisions to complete the mission safely

Deep Reconnaissance Without Compromise

Raybird is one of the primary tools for deep aerial reconnaissance. It penetrates enemy territory to deliver mission-critical intelligence that shapes operations. No runways, no tow vehicles, no weather delays — it launches from any surface, in any conditions, and flies for 28+ hours non-stop

Its endurance isn’t just a spec sheet number: up to 30 hours in the air, over 2,500 km of coverage, and real-time video from more than 220 km away. Raybird tracks vehicle movements, radar installations, logistics chains — all in one mission. Each system is designed to perform up to 200 flights

Raybird is equipped with top-tier video sensors and SAR radar — providing actionable intelligence through both day and night, and through clouds and fog. All this is done without putting the crew near danger zones

Skyeton trains operator teams quickly and effectively. Launch takes just 15 minutes, tool-free. Technical support is available 24/7, and repairs are free during wartime. Raybird systems are continuously updated to meet the shifting conditions and challenges of modern warfare
