Overview

The U.S. military operates a diverse fleet of aircraft, each requiring specialized tools and personnel for inspection. The Air Force is losing senior maintainers at a 12% annual rate, increasing pressure on remaining staff and contributing to a five-year high in Class A/B maintenance-related mishaps. Ultraview’s autonomous drone platform performs full airframe inspections 80% faster than manual methods. It replaces clipboard walkarounds with high-res imagery, structured data capture, and automated reporting. Deployments include Ascent Aviation Services for heavy and line maintenance. Warner Robins AFB allocated FY27 O&M funds and issued a Phase II customer memo for Ultraview operations starting September 2025 on the C-5, C-17, KC-130, and F-15. Field-tested in commercial and defense settings, Ultraview delivers inspection-grade outputs and integrates into live MRO workflows. Our patented platform uses LiDAR-based SLAM and ARK Flow for precise, GPS-denied navigation. It is fully self-contained and operates indoors or on flight lines with no added infrastructure. We engage TPOCs directly, leverage SBIR Phase II via AFWERX, and connect with users through Ignite and Tradewinds to streamline procurement. Ultraview supports defense and commercial aviation, UAM, and spaceport operations. It’s compatible with platforms from F-15s to A320s.
