About Aviern
Summary
Aviern builds fixed-wing unmanned aircraft that autonomously patrol infrastructure corridors and return geospatial intelligence to operators. The aircraft launch and land from unattended docks installed along the right-of-way, with onboard perception that detects pipeline leaks, encroachments, vegetation stress, and ground movement, replacing the helicopter crews operators currently hire for mandated patrol flights. The same aircraft and dock platform extends from pipelines to power grids, rail, borders, and military bases.
Business model
Per-mile fee charged as a service for each patrol pass flown.
Go-to-market
Pipeline operators subject to PHMSA-mandated inspection cycles are the initial buyers; the product enters via a pilot program that covers a defined right-of-way segment and delivers a filed inspection report.

Unmanned cargo airplanes
Aviern makes unmanned cargo airplanes for commercial operations and defense logistics. In 2 months we built our own scaled aircraft that taxis, takes off, flies and lands fully autonomously and are working on a larger 50lb aircraft.
