Fayetteville, N.C., April 29, 2025 - Raven Autonomous Technologies is proud to announce a groundbreaking joint venture with PR-DC, combining expertise and innovation to deliver a highly tested and versatile rotary wing drone, the IKA-Bomber, to global markets.

 

This partnership brings together Raven’s leading-edge autonomous technologies with PR-DC’s robust military-grade designs, resulting in a highly capable aerial platform made in Serbia, with plans for U.S.-based production as well.

 

The IKA-Bomber is a durable and powerful rotary wing drone built in a hexacopter configuration. Constructed from advanced composite materials including carbon fiber and epoxy resin, the drone offers unmatched strength and lightweight performance. Capable of 40+ minute flights while carrying 20 kg, the IKA-Bomber sets a new standard in aerial logistics and military operations. Designed for precision and flexibility, the drone can autonomously deploy 12 60mm NATO mortar rounds. These can be released one-by-one or simultaneously to neutralize multiple targets effectively and efficiently. The platform posesses intuitive control surface and swarm capabilities.

 

“This partnership with PR-DC represents a significant step forward in Raven’s mission to deliver next-generation autonomous systems,” said CEO Sheffield Ford of Raven Advisory. “The IKA-Bomber’s proven capabilities, combined with Raven’s innovation in autonomy, position us to meet the evolving needs of modern operational environments.”

 

Already tested and proven, the IKA-Bomber stands as a unique offering on the market today. Raven Autonomous Technologies with PR-DC is excited to bring this capability to new clients around the world, supporting a wide range of missions with unmatched precision, endurance, and versatility.
