Raven Multi-Mission Aircraft for ISR and Electronic Warfare
Aircraft capability, technical expertise, and end-to-end support for complex government requirements.
Expanding Airborne Capability Without Extending Timelines
The Aery Raven is a mission-reconfigurable aircraft supporting ISR, electronic warfare, and test applications. It provides a practical path to fielding capability where operational demand is outpacing available aircraft and traditional acquisition timelines.
The Challenge
Operational demand for ISR, electronic warfare training, and test support continues to grow, while:
- Available aircraft capacity remains constrained
- Legacy platforms are limited to single roles
- Modification cycles extend timelines by years
- New programs of record require long acquisition cycles
Program offices are increasingly required to meet near-term needs within these constraints.
The Raven Approach
Raven provides a flexible, reconfigurable aircraft platform that can be adapted across multiple roles without extensive modification cycles.
Rather than relying on single-mission aircraft, Raven supports rapid configuration changes across ISR, electronic warfare, and test roles — reducing downtime and increasing overall platform utility.
- Configurable across ISR, SIGINT, ELINT, and electronic warfare
- Supports integration of government-furnished and third-party systems
- Adaptable across operational, training, and test applications
- Supported by Aery Aviation for modification and sustainment
Operational Impact
Expand ISR and EW Capacity
Raven provides additional aircraft capacity to support ISR, electronic warfare training, and test requirements without waiting for new platforms to be fielded.
Reduce Dependence on Single-Mission Aircraft
By enabling reconfiguration across multiple roles, Raven reduces the need for dedicated, single-purpose platforms and improves overall aircraft utilization.
Support Accelerated Fielding Approaches
Raven can be aligned to service-based and flexible contracting models, allowing capability to be introduced without relying solely on traditional acquisition timelines.
