Raybird is a state of the art, long-endurance unmanned aerial system (UAS) developed for the complex needs of commercial industries and government customers alike. Delivered by Skyeton Prevail Solutions Limited; a joint venture between Ukrainian UAS innovator Skyeton and British leading global intelligence and security company Prevail Partners, this enterprise fuses battlefield proven technology with operational excellence to unlock a new standard in aerial data, automation, and analytics.
From infrastructure inspection to environmental monitoring, logistics to agriculture, Raybird is transforming how industries capture, analyse, and act on aerial intelligence.
The Raybird system itself is a game changer. Designed for endurance, stealth, and precision, it boasts flight times of up to 30 hours and an operational range of up to 2,500 kilometers, flying at altitudes up to 10,000 meters – 1,151 meters above Mount Everest. The Raybird design is a NATO Class 1 UAS incorporating several Class 2 and 3 capabilities, enabling advanced performance within a compact and efficient platform. It can be rapidly deployed in under 25 minutes without the need for an airfield.
Its open architecture enables easy integration with a broad array of payloads – such as advanced optical sensors with high-zoom capabilities, radar, and electronic warfare systems – allowing customisation for any mission, whether that is military reconnaissance, border security, infrastructure inspection, or environmental monitoring.
The Raybird system is a state-of-the-art UAS, combining exceptional endurance with operational flexibility, and proven performance on the world’s hardest frontlines and terrain.
While originally developed for defence, the Raybird system’s advanced capabilities translate seamlessly into numerous civilian and industrial domains. Its long-range endurance, autonomous operation, and real-time data collection make it a powerful tool across sectors that demand precision, efficiency, and situational awareness.
From monitoring agricultural health and inspecting critical infrastructure, to supporting emergency response and environmental conservation, the Raybird’s adaptable platform is redefining how industries approach complex, large-scale operational challenges.
