Raad provides an end‑to‑end aerial intelligence platform that lets asset‑heavy enterprises request high‑resolution drone surveys—such as orthomosaics, 3D models, LiDAR, thermal and video—through a web interface. The system validates locations, secures flight permissions, and automatically dispatches vetted pilots from a nationwide network, delivering QC‑checked data and annotated reports via a secure portal within 48 hours. This enables construction, utility, telecom and solar companies to monitor assets, assess conditions and make decisions without managing drone operations themselves.

Problem
Industries such as construction, utilities, telecom, and solar often lack timely, high‑resolution aerial data of their assets, leading to delayed decisions, costly site visits, and inaccurate monitoring of progress or condition.
Solution
Raad offers an end‑to‑end aerial intelligence platform that lets customers select sites, define required deliverables (orthomosaics, 3D models, thermal, LiDAR, video), and set budgets through a web interface. The platform automatically validates locations, secures flight permissions, and dispatches vetted drone pilots from a nationwide network within 48 hours. Captured data are processed, quality‑checked, and delivered via a secure portal with annotated reports, enabling users to assess asset status and act quickly without managing drone operations themselves.
Target Audience
Primary customers are asset‑heavy enterprises in construction, utility transmission & distribution, telecommunications, and solar energy that require frequent, high‑resolution aerial surveys for monitoring, inspection, and planning.
