Applications

One Platform.
Multiple Missions.

Aerobavovna aerostat systems are designed for persistent, wide-area monitoring across civilian and government operations.

Border patrol aerostat
Border Patrol

Maintain continuous wide-area surveillance along border corridors. Persistent coverage without the cost of aircraft or the gaps of UAV rotations. Operate in all weather conditions at altitudes up to 500 m.

↑ 90 km sensor range · 24/7 continuous operation
Infrastructure monitoring aerostat
Critical Infrastructure

Protect energy grids, pipelines, water systems, and transport hubs with persistent aerial overwatch. Detect intrusions, monitor integrity, and maintain communications relay across large facilities.

↑ Multi-week deployment · No fuel or pilot required
Emergency response aerostat
Emergency Response

Deploy a communications relay and aerial observation platform in minutes. Restore coordination capacity when ground infrastructure fails — floods, fires, industrial accidents, mass casualty events.

↑ 7-min deployment · 100 km comms relay range
Search and rescue aerostat
Search & Rescue / Coast Guard

Extend the operational range of maritime and land SAR teams. Elevate sensors above terrain for wide-area detection while maintaining a persistent communications bridge to remote rescue units.

↑ 500 m altitude · Up to 25 kg payload capacity

Why Aerostat

The Persistent Option

No fuel. No pilot. No rotation.

An aerostat stays up continuously — no sorties, no crew, no fuel costs. Once deployed, it operates for days or weeks on helium alone.

Fraction of the cost

Approximately 4× cheaper than commercial drones of equivalent payload. Entry-level systems start under €1,500. Total cost of ownership is dramatically lower than aircraft-based surveillance.

Resilient by design

If the envelope is punctured, the aerostat descends slowly — protecting the payload. No catastrophic failure mode. No crash risk to personnel or property.

About

Ukraine's First Mass-Producer of Aerostat Systems

Aerobavovna was founded to solve a problem that became decisive in modern warfare: how do you maintain reliable, long-range communications in environments where ground infrastructure fails and drones dominate the skies?

Our answer — elevated connectivity via tethered aerostats — is now battle-proven across 50+ systems deployed to Ukraine's armed forces and intelligence services. These are not prototypes. They operate in the most demanding electromagnetic and physical conditions on earth, today.

"In Europe, there are almost no domestic manufacturers of aerostat systems. Now an opportunity is forming for local companies — and we expect to occupy our niche in the EU market and beyond."

We are now bringing that technology to European civil and government customers — border agencies, infrastructure operators, and emergency services — who face the same fundamental challenge: persistent, wide-area awareness at a fraction of the cost of current solutions.
