About RAAD

RAAD is a spatial intelligence company, delivering high-resolution aerial data and maps to industry and financial services. Orchestrating a network of over 16,000 drones across 70 countries, RAAD provides the resolution of drones with the simplicity of satellite. 

Hedge funds, utilities, Oil & Gas, renewable energy operators, telecoms, construction companies, insurers, and real estate owner-operators trust RAAD to monitor the state of infrastructure at unparalleled resolution and speed, globally. 

Rather than cobble together local drone pilots or stand up an expensive internal drone program, RAAD's clients simply define their coverage areas, select the standard deliverables they require, and high-quality data arrives a few days later. 

RAAD handles international airspace approvals, pilot vetting, dispatch, secure capture, image processing, insurance, and delivery of raw imagery, orthomosaics, 3D models, thermal overlays, LiDAR, and annotated reports. We are a one-stop-shop that answers the question: "What is the state of my assets and what can I do about it?" 

To commoditize aerial intelligence, making the real world as queryable as the web. 

You don't care about drones or airspace, you care about good data and actionability. You simply follow the digital checkout flow, indicating the area of the world you need captured and how. Our platform and team handle the messy work behind the scenes. 

Instead of using a handful of service providers for different legs of the process, RAAD handles it all in one unified platform, from drone sourcing and dispatch to delivery of processed models.

Every pilot in our network undergoes rigorous verification of certifications, insurance coverage, and operational procedures to ensure consistent quality across all projects. All incoming data is quality controlled prior to delivery to you.

Data hub, not just data capture
Capture is the starting point, not the deliverable. Every mission lands in a persistent repository tied to the site, so repeat captures build a time series instead of a folder of one-offs. Serve imagery from our tile server, pull it directly into ArcGIS and QGIS, or sync it straight to your own S3, Azure, or Google Cloud bucket. Your data should exist where your analysis takes place.

Only talk to sales if you want to
We support fully self-serve digital checkout for on-demand aerial data and will not subject you to a long, drawn out conversation with sales. If you have a more complex project, our team is always available to discuss.

AI Agent Friendly
Raad serves humans and machines through one interface. Agents can scope, price, and check out natively, with no separate integration path. Ask your assistant for aerial data and it can complete the order end to end.
