About

Beyond Vision is a Portuguese manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the software that flies them. Founded in 2013 by Dário Pedro and Luís Miguel Campos, the company designs its own airframes, including the BVH616 (marketed as HEIFU PRO) hexacopter, the BVT516 VTOne fixed-wing VTOL, and the BVQ418 quadcopter and BVQ825 octocopter, along with the BVQ404 counter-UAS interceptor. Its cloud platform, beXStream, handles mission planning, remote control and telemetry, and the company develops AI functions for autonomous flight, obstacle avoidance, detection and tracking, and communications redundancy under electronic-warfare conditions.

The company sells to defence ministries, armed forces, police, government and infrastructure operators, as well as civilian customers in agriculture, construction, monitoring and logistics. It is a NATO-registered supplier of autonomous UAV systems, and its aircraft have been deployed with the Portuguese Navy on a NATO mission and tested by the Portuguese Army for a NATO deployment in Slovakia. Reported deployments also include Ukraine, and the company has taken part in REPMUS 2025, a NATO maritime exercise, and in European defence experimentation campaigns. It has signed partnerships with Arcanus Aerial Systems for Canadian production, with La Orizont in Romania, with AVP for Jordan, and with Gremsy for camera payload integration, and it reported a €15M contract to supply 300 emergency drones in the United States alongside a planned factory there.

Beyond Vision reports roughly 95 per cent of production is exported and that it had about 150 staff in 2026, after exceeding its 2025 revenue estimate. Its investors include Banco Português de Fomento, ActiveCap and, in a round announced in October 2026, Índico Capital Partners and Lince Capital, with the capital earmarked for industrial capacity, AI and cloud development, and international expansion in defence and critical infrastructure.
