Autonomous Aerial Platform
A new category between UAV and helicopter. Combustion-powered, generator-equipped, fully autonomous. Designed for operations where batteries fail and manned aircraft are too valuable to risk.
Energy Is The Constraint.
Battery drones changed warfare. But physics still wins.
Short endurance. Limited payload. Charging logistics. Temperature sensitivity. And almost no onboard electrical power for the systems that matter most — radios, radar, EW, AI processing.
AITHEL removes these constraints by design. Combustion engine. Onboard generator. VTOL. No crew required.
Three Platforms. One Airframe.


Forward Autonomous Interceptor Carrier
Mobile launch node. Transports interceptors closer to threats, launches at altitude. Counter-swarm capability without wasting expensive missile systems.


Autonomous Air Logistics Beyond The Front Line
450 km range. 220–250 kg payload. No crew. Frontline resupply, isolated position support, autonomous cargo movement over damaged infrastructure.


Persistent Airborne Infrastructure
Not a drone. Not an aircraft. An airborne communications and sensor node. 8+ hours. Continuous power for radios, EW, radar, ISR, LTE/5G tactical nodes.
Old Power. New Doctrine.
Long Endurance
8+ hours vs. 20–90 min battery drones. 450 km range. Rapid refuel, immediate relaunch.
Real Payload
220–250 kg. Military electronics, cargo, weapon systems, interceptor drones. Full range maintained.
Energy Abundance
Onboard generator powers radar, EW, AI processing, comms, sensor fusion continuously.
Logistics Simplicity
Fuel globally available, already in military logistics chains. No charging infrastructure required.
Harsh Environment
No cold-weather battery collapse. Stable output at altitude. Predictable endurance in all conditions.
No Crew Required
Full autonomy in contested airspace. Acceptable attrition profile. Where manned aircraft cannot go.
Already Airborne.
Early warning opens the window to defend critical infrastructure.
AITHEL Heli 01 moves from patrol to a tactically advantageous position — at optimal altitude, with enough interceptors to engage multiple targets. Heli 02 launches the moment the threat is confirmed and holds low cover at the perimeter.
- 00:00Early warning — threat window opens in 40 minutes
- 00:07AH-01 launches to patrol
- 00:14On station — SITE-01 covered
- 00:22Radar contact — three hostile UAS inbound
- 00:25AH-02 launches — low cover at the perimeter, second layer
- 00:29AH-01 already airborne, at speed, interceptors ready — no launch delay
- 00:31Gaining altitude — climbing above the threat for the intercept
- 00:34Interceptors away
- 00:43First threat neutralized
- 00:48Remaining threats stopped outside the perimeter
- 00:52Resuming patrol — two aircraft on station
