Founded in 2013 in Portugal, Beyond Vision has become a prominent drone manufacturer and a key player in the UAV industry. The focus is on creating diverse, collaborative autonomous systems equipped with AI capabilities to deliver innovative solutions across various sectors.

The company has established a culture of ongoing research and development, serving as a trusted partner to organizations that aim for high-performing, collaborative autonomous systems and AI-driven solutions.  

Beyond Vision will present many products, including the latest versions of its flagship drones, BVQ418 and BVT516, as well as the BVQ405, designed to be used as a Drone as a First Responder (DFR), the BVQ825, Beyond Vision's first octacopter, and the latest addition to the team, the BVQ404, at the Farnborough International Airshow 2026.  

The BVT516 is a Class 3 VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) fixed-wing, powered by two high-capacity batteries. It is operated using an intuitive flight controller that allows commands via a wireless local radio control or a remote-control application.  

It’s a hybrid UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that combines the features of a quadcopter and a fixed-wing aircraft, with VTOL mode for tight spaces and complex landing conditions, and forward-flight mode to cover more ground and reach higher speeds.  

The BVQ418 is a portable, Class 3 Smart Quadcopter designed for easy assembly and quick deployment. Its compact form and user-friendly parts allow for rapid setup, so you can respond swiftly to any situation.  

Both drones feature a key differentiator, modularity, which allows the same drone to carry and switch payloads based on the mission. They are compatible with over 40 sensors and payloads and are ideal for a wide range of complex missions, including military ISR, security, fire prevention, search and rescue, and infrastructure inspection.  

The BVQ825 is a Smart Octacopter equipped with AI capabilities, perfect for rapid deployment and well-suited to demanding missions requiring high payload capacity, reliability, and endurance.  

The BVQ405 was built to serve as a Drone as a First Responder (DFR) for Paladin, a US company that provides drones to help first responders access key information, reduce response times, increase awareness, and, ultimately, save lives.  

Finally, the BVQ404 is Beyond Vision's first interceptor drone, designed to be fast, precise, and efficient at neutralizing hostile UAVs.

Beyond Vision's booth will also showcase two outstanding examples of high-quality payloads compatible with the company’s platforms:

The SLAS G1, which offers drones an integrated EO/IR solution combining visual and thermal cameras. It is ideal for defense, inspection, public safety, surveillance, and industrial tasks. It works seamlessly with the BVQ418.

Additionally, the Yellowscan Navigator facilitates efficient georeferenced data collection and produces high-precision 3D point clouds for applications such as mapping, inspection, defense, security, and infrastructure monitoring. It integrates smoothly with the BVQ418 and the BVQ825.

Beyond Vision will not only have its own stand but also be featured in AED's booth at the Farnborough International Airshow 2026. This demonstrates the strong partnership with AED and provides attendees with additional chances to learn about Beyond Vision's technology and engage with the team during the event.

Attendees of the Farnborough International Airshow 2026 have a great chance to experience Beyond Vision technology firsthand and meet the team! Visit them at Hall 0, stand 0680.
