TEKEVER develops autonomous uncrewed aircraft and mission systems that give public agencies and defense customers persistent intelligence from the air.
Long-endurance aircraft for wide-area missions
TEKEVER develops and operates fixed-wing uncrewed aerial systems, including the AR5 medium-altitude, medium-endurance aircraft. The platform can stay aloft for up to 20 hours, carry payloads such as electro-optical/infrared sensors, maritime radar, AIS and signals-intelligence equipment, and operate from short or unprepared runways. These capabilities support maritime patrol, search and rescue, border surveillance, pollution monitoring and land missions.
A complete mission system, not an airframe alone
TEKEVER combines aircraft with communications, sensor integration, AI-enabled analysis and operational support so customers can collect and act on real-time imagery and intelligence. Public agencies and defense operators use these systems for persistent monitoring over large or difficult-to-access areas. The company has also won Portuguese maritime-surveillance contracts using its smaller AR3 EVO platform, showing a deployed government use case alongside its higher-end aircraft portfolio.
