Problem
Defence and security forces, as well as civilian agencies, increasingly require persistent, long-range intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities to monitor vast areas and respond to threats in real time. Traditional platforms are often costly, have limited endurance, and lack the software-centric flexibility needed to adapt to rapidly evolving operational demands and asymmetric threats.
Solution
TEKEVER provides a family of AI-driven unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and intelligence-as-a-service offerings designed for both civil and defence missions. The company's vertically integrated approach covers airframe design, manufacturing, payloads, avionics, software, and data analytics, enabling rapid adaptation to customer needs. Its platforms, such as the AR5 and AR3, are deployed for missions including maritime surveillance, border patrol, electronic warfare, and disaster response. The ATLAS platform provides real-time intelligence as a service, delivering actionable data directly to operators. Systems are battle-proven, with over 10,000 combat flight hours logged, notably supporting Ukrainian forces. The AR6 family, designed for heavy-lift missions, carries up to 200kg over 500km using advanced hydraulic transmission technology acquired through the Flowcopter acquisition.
Target Audience
TEKEVER's primary customers are European and NATO-aligned defence ministries, armed forces, and government security agencies, including the Bundeswehr and UK Ministry of Defence. It also serves civilian organizations such as the European Maritime Safety Agency and the UK Home Office, along with private companies requiring aerial surveillance and data intelligence.
Features
- Vertically integrated UAS development, from airframe and propulsion to AI software and data processing, allowing for rapid iteration and customization.
- A diverse product line including the AR3 (configurable missions), AR5 (long-endurance patrolling), and ARX, alongside the new heavy-lift AR6 family capable of carrying 200kg over 500km using advanced hydraulic transmission technology.
- AI-enabled autonomy for real-time target identification, data analysis, and decision support, even in extreme conditions like high seas.
- ATLAS platform for real-time intelligence-as-a-service, enabling wide-area surveillance and rapid data dissemination to customers.
- Dual-use technology applicable to civilian missions such as wildfire detection, oil spill monitoring, and search and rescue, as well as defence and security operations.
- Sovereign manufacturing capabilities in the UK, France, and Germany, supporting programs like CORVUS for the British Army, valued at up to £400 million over ten years.
