Who we are
Ayr Orbis has 25 years of experience offering comprehensive advanced logistics solutions and innovative technological support. It has served a diverse range of initiatives, including critical humanitarian and peacekeeping missions, disaster relief projects, global development, and capacity building programmes.
We have provided industry-leading, efficient, and safe services to governments, charities and NGOs, the UN, WFP and other UN agencies, and multinational corporations. Through these partnerships AYR Orbis has gained extensive field and mission knowledge across 47 countries, in some of the world’s most demanding, austere, and hostile environments.
Our impeccable reputation, total dedication to optimising and strengthening existing logistical frameworks, and in-house approach to providing turnkey strategic solutions for humanitarian and peacekeeping initiatives allow us to excel in and adapt to any operational context, remaining on budget and customer-centric.
We design and deliver transparent and cost-effective integrated solutions, comfortably taking on logistical challenges such as limited timeframes, limited resources, restricted access, and inadequate situational assessments. We overcome these challenges and many more, seeking to deliver outstanding and reliable services in the most demanding situations. Our unique expertise ensures streamlined decision-making processes are prioritised and informed by our information sharing and strategic planning principles.
We also recognise that we must keep pace with innovation, particularly within civil protection and defence frameworks. Therefore, we have now expanded heavily into unmanned technologies for Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR), heavy-lift cargo transport and all-weather/all-terrain unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) support. By doing so, we are bringing the future into the present at a manageable rate, integrating state-of-the-art uncrewed systems (UxS) into conventional emergency response methods.
This is accompanied by our own dedication to Research and Development (R&D) as well as training/testing through Validation and Verification (V&V) of emerging UxS. We also offer a wide range of certification pathways, integrated training, diverse drone model expertise, hands-on instruction and general consultancy informed by our own experience conducting both Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) and Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations.
