Introducing Raybird
Compact Tactical UAS for extended Reconnaissance Operations
Raybird is a compact fixed-wing UAS engineered for prolonged reconnaissance tasks, boasting an impressive flight duration of 28 hours, a range of 2,500 km, and an operational ceiling of 4,500 meters.
Capable of being deployed from rugged terrain in less than 25 minutes, it operates effectively in all weather conditions and allows for quick payload changes in under a minute. the Raybird has been rigorously tested and validated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a key partner of Skyeton.
Raybird is a holistic UAS solution that includes a long-endurance UAV,a ground control system,a catapult launcher,various payload options,and a robust antenna for dependable communication. Its adaptability is enhanced by the ability to swap payloads (up to 5 kg) in just one minute, featuring a gyro-stabilized multi-sensor gimbal for intelligence collection, specialized radars for targeted missions, and a high-resolution camera for precise mapping.
Unparalleled Versatility for Operational Success
Extraordinary Flight Duration
With a maximum of 28 hours in the air,Raybird can undertake missions that require extended surveillance,long-range reconnaissance,and continuous target tracking,showcasing remarkable endurance.
Quick and Intuitive Setup
Assembling the system takes less than 25 minutes without the need for tools. it features straightforward operation with automated takeoff and landing capabilities.
Durable Design
raybird’s mechanical catapult launch system allows for takeoff from even the most challenging terrains and in adverse weather conditions where other systems, like VTOL, may struggle. built to endure harsh climates and electronic warfare threats, Raybird guarantees mission success.
Smart Autonomy
Raybird is equipped with an clever autonomous system that navigates challenges such as electronic warfare, low fuel levels, complex environments, and unexpected obstacles, ensuring mission accomplishment.
Multi-Functional capability
Raybird’s ability to quickly swap payloads in one minute allows for rapid adjustments to mission needs: whether it’s video, photography, SAR, or laser target designators. Much like the versatile F-16 fighter jet, Raybird exemplifies adaptability and readiness for various missions.
Dependable Performance
Designed for repeated use,Raybird is among the most durable UAVs in its category. Its longevity is supported by an automatic parachute recovery system and a leading-edge airframe that ensures the safety of both the payload and the UAV during operations.
Applications of Raybird
Reconnaissance Operations
Raybird excels in long-range reconnaissance, utilizing a 120 km digital data link for live video feeds up to 100 km into enemy territory. In autonomous mode, it can extend its reach over a thousand kilometers beyond the front lines, capturing vital intelligence through high-resolution imagery and advanced radar systems.
Precision Targeting and Fire Control
With its ability to remain airborne for up to 28 hours, Raybird ensures continuous transmission of accurate coordinates, facilitating damage assessment on enemy targets. The 120 km digital data link allows for real-time target adjustments up to 100 km behind enemy lines. Its payload options include a laser designator for precise guidance of laser-guided munitions. High-quality video feeds from 2,500 meters ensure aircraft safety against most air defenses while delivering critical intelligence.
Maritime Monitoring
Raybird’s extended flight capabilities considerably enhance maritime surveillance, enabling it to cover vast ocean areas for illegal activities or pollution incidents.Its ability to operate from a safe distance behind front lines greatly improves operator safety.
Border Security
Raybird enhances border security with its long-range video capabilities, all-weather functionality, and automatic target tracking. This allows for continuous monitoring of extensive border regions, even in adverse weather, while automatically identifying and tracking potential threats for rapid response.
Wildfire Detection and Management
Raybird’s high-altitude capabilities provide a broad aerial perspective,facilitating early identification of potential fire sources and real-time monitoring of fire spread. This enables quicker response times and more effective firefighting strategies, ultimately reducing fire damage.
Inspection of Power Lines
Raybird simplifies power line inspections with integrated high-resolution imaging and data processing capabilities. It can detect damage and identify problem areas through aerial photography, minimizing the need for ground inspections.
Pipeline Surveillance
Raybird is effective in detecting oil theft and monitoring surface temperatures. In emergencies, it allows for rapid damage assessment and leak detection. Additionally, its integration with data processing and 3D mapping provides detailed visualizations of pipelines, making it an invaluable tool for proactive maintenance and security.
Roadway Inspections
Raybird offers complete diagnostics for road management. Its high-resolution cameras capture detailed images of road surfaces, aiding in the identification of cracks, potholes, and other damages, and also monitoring traffic flow and engineering structures.
