Collecting aerial intelligence shouldn't involve red tape, delays, or disconnected tools. At UVT, we help organizations adopt capable and sensible aerial workflows to stay Always On. WingtraRAY is quickly becoming one of the most respected VTOL drones on the market, helping teams launch quickly, map larger areas, and generate decision-ready insights with minimal delay. Whether you’re modeling terrain, inspecting infrastructure, or managing vegetation analytics, WingtraRAY is a platform worth evaluating—and we’re here to help you do that.


Built for Professionals Who Rely on Results

WingtraRAY supports professionals across sectors—engineers, analysts, and GIS teams—by delivering accurate results without workflow disruption. With VTOL launch and landing, guided planning, and seamless data integration, it simplifies complex missions. UVT helps you determine where it fits within your broader operation, whether you're scaling a current program or starting fresh.


Waiver-Free Operations When It Matters Most

WingtraRAY’s Category 3 parachute system enables FAA-compliant flights over people—eliminating the need for waiver delays.

This is especially valuable in dense environments like city streets, job sites, and transportation corridors, where traditional operations would be grounded. With over 98% of U.S. territory now accessible for missions under this classification, teams can execute time-sensitive work without red tape.

UVT guides your organization through regulatory understanding and implementation so you can confidently unlock new airspace without compromising compliance.


Streamlined Workflows That Scale

WingtraRAY isn't just built for speed—it's built for repeatable data gathering and mission consistency. From automated takeoff and landing to cloud-based syncing and repeatable flight plans, every part of the system is engineered for smooth handoffs and fewer delays. For organizations that need dependable actionable intelligence across teams, sites, or regions, that predictability is key


Payload Flexibility for Real-World Projects

WingtraRAY supports six modular payloads, allowing teams to customize missions without changing platforms:

MAP61

High-resolution 3D and oblique 2D capture for terrain analysis and site documentation.

SURVEY61

Precision photogrammetry for land development, infrastructure layout, and topographic studies.

INSPECT

Detailed asset inspections down to millimeter-level for utilities, transportation, and critical infrastructure.

SURVEY24

Accessible photogrammetry for general mapping needs in agriculture, construction, and environmental monitoring.




RedEdge-P

Multispectral imaging for crop health, forestry, and land management applications.

LiDAR

High-density terrain data for planning, environmental analysis, and urban modeling.

UVT helps clients determine which payload configurations align with their specific needs—and we provide integration, training, and support beyond the purchase.


Operational Confidence in the Field

From backup batteries to obstacle avoidance and a deployable parachute, WingtraRAY is engineered for safety in complex environments. But technology alone doesn’t create confidence—process does.

UVT supports your teams with detailed preflight planning, operational training, and real-time remote support. This reduces in-air risk and gives pilots, analysts, and leadership peace of mind. Because when time is tight and stakes are high, your system should support you—not slow you down.


A Smarter Investment Through Integration

When deployed with the right support structure, WingtraRAY can pay for itself in months. In fact, Wingtra’s previous-generation drone, the WingtraOne, has already proven this in multiple industries. One U.S.-based civil contractor was able to recoup their full investment in less than 30 days by significantly increasing their project capacity through faster mapping workflows. Forestry companies have reported up to 80% reductions in survey time for stockpile volume measurements, directly impacting resource planning and operational costs.

And WingtraRAY takes it even further. With faster flight speeds, quicker deployment, and expanded over-people operations, the potential for savings and increased output is even greater. Whether it’s utility providers inspecting more miles of power lines in a single shift or construction firms delivering progress updates in record time, WingtraRAY helps reduce labor hours, limit site revisits, and deliver insights faster.

We support organizations through every phase—starting with evaluating operational requirements, assisting with payload selection, and navigating FAA regulatory considerations. Once deployed, we help teams streamline mission planning, train pilots, optimize data workflows, and scale fleets with confidence. Whether you're replacing a patchwork of drones or building a new aerial program from the ground up, our team is here to help you turn WingtraRAY into a sustainable, high-return asset in your operation.


Is the WingtraRAY the right drone for your team?

WingtraRAY is a powerful tool in the hands of the right team. At UVT, our goal is to help you determine whether it’s the right fit—and then help you get the most out of it if it is. From integration to ongoing support, we act as an extension of your team, offering insight from thousands of deployments across every major vertical.
