About Ravionics

THE GAP IS
DOCUMENTED.
WE CLOSE IT

The world has more critical infrastructure than it has eyes to watch it. Borders. Coastlines. Pipelines. Power grids. Farmland. Mining operations. The gap is real, it is documented, and it has gone unsolved for too long.

NOT DRONES
INFRASTRUCTURE

WE ARE A UMANAH SYSTEMS GROUP PROGRAM.
BUILT FOR MISSION-CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTS. BUILT TO LAST.
01
Aerial Platforms

Long-endurance VTOL fixed-wing systems designed for 24-hour continuous loiter without runway dependency. Deploy from any surface. Land anywhere.

02
Deployment Architecture

Field-ready operational frameworks that put persistent aerial coverage anywhere in under an hour. No catapult. No recovery crew. No infrastructure.

03
Data Pipelines

Real-time intelligence delivery to operators, command centers, and integrated sensor networks. 24 hours of flight becomes actionable intelligence on the ground.

04
Institutional Backbone

Ravionics operates under Umanah Systems Group, a mission-critical systems platform with centralized IP governance. We are not a startup experiment. We are a program.

The Platform

PRECISION
ENDURANCE
PRESENCE

Our platform combines the vertical takeoff and landing capability of a helicopter with the cruise efficiency of a fixed-wing aircraft. No runway. No compromise. 24 continuous hours of persistent surveillance from a single sortie.

Multiple redundant motors — safe operation and landing if any single motor fails
Designed for multiple VTOL cycles within a single 24-hour mission profile
Where We Operate

EVERY CRITICAL
ASSET. EVERYWHERE.

Distance, terrain, and cost no longer determine what gets protected and what gets left exposed.

01
Border Security

Persistent aerial coverage across thousands of miles of land border where 13 seconds per day is the current reality. One sortie. 24 hours. No blind spots.

02
Maritime & Coastline

95,000 miles of US shoreline. Drug trafficking. Unauthorized vessels. Search and rescue. The Coast Guard cannot do it alone. We extend their reach continuously.

03
Pipeline & Energy

Pipelines, power grids, and transmission lines spanning remote terrain. Continuous monitoring that catches failures before they become catastrophes.

04
Agriculture

Farms the size of small countries. Crop health, water management, perimeter security, and yield intelligence delivered continuously without a ground crew.

05
Mining & Extraction

Remote operations in terrain that defeats conventional surveillance. Persistent overhead awareness for safety, security, and operational continuity.

06
Defense & Government

ISR missions, force protection, and base perimeter security where runway-independent persistent loiter fundamentally changes what is operationally possible.

The Gap

THE WORLD IS
LARGELY UNWATCHED

These are not estimates. They are documented figures from the agencies responsible for the mission.

13s
Aerial drone coverage per border mile per day

CBP's small UAS teams flew 9,620 total hours across 7,000 miles of US border in fiscal year 2025. Each mile receives roughly 13 seconds of aerial drone coverage per day.

6/11
Coast Guard statutory missions achievable

The Coast Guard's own analysis confirms it has enough cutters to complete only 6 of its 11 legally mandated missions. 95,000 miles of shoreline. Persistently under-covered.

1000s
Pipeline miles inspected by exception not routine

Energy infrastructure spans continents. Inspection windows are measured in days and weeks. Failures are found after they happen, not before.

∞
Critical assets beyond persistent aerial reach

Power grids. Farmland. Mining operations. Remote industrial sites. Every one of them sits beyond the economic reach of persistent manned aerial surveillance. Until now.

2.6M
Miles of US pipeline with no persistent aerial monitoring

The US has more than 2.6 million miles of pipelines delivering natural gas and liquid petroleum products. The overwhelming majority has no continuous aerial surveillance. Failures are found after they happen, not before.

90%
Of US farmland never aerially monitored in a given year

Aerial imagery was used on only 7% of corn acres and under 10% of soybean acres according to the most recent USDA data. Over 880 million acres of US agricultural land sits without persistent overhead awareness.

The gap is real. It is funded. It has gone unsolved for too long. And closing it is exactly what Ravionics was built to do.
