BlueBird Aero Systems

BlueBird Aero Systems was established to meet challenges in aerial observation, tracking and reconnaissance faced by the defense, homeland security and civilian sectors. Since 2006, our growing range of superior high-performance micro, mini and Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems has flown tens of thousands of operational sorties worldwide.

BlueBird is a world leader in UAS by combining advanced Israeli technology and military experience with proprietary in-house design, development and manufacturing. Its comprehensive ISO 9001:2015 certified capabilities include: infrastructure, composite materials, mechanical, electronic and aeronautical engineering, as well as software development – all backed-up by unstinting quality assurance.

We Never Stop Innovating

Constant spiral development keeps BlueBird innovative and agile, ready to meet emerging challenges, in all terrains and environmental conditions. Our VTOL systems vastly expand operational capabilities, bringing a new level of flexibility to tactical UAS, on land and at sea.
