LeVanta Tech is developing sea-launched aerial drones (“float-and-fly” drones). “Float-and-fly” provides a persistent sea-air interface with the ability to fly at high speed with low detectability.
“Float-and-fly” fills a gap in current technology. Aerial drones have limited endurance when carrying real-time sensor payloads and have limited on-station time. Seaplane drones cannot land and takeoff in rough seas. USVs have endurance but are slow and present a larger radar cross section for counter-detection efforts. LeVanta Tech’s float-and-fly drones are capable of quickly inserting into a contested area via flight, land and operate as a surface drone on the ocean with a small detectable cross section to provide long-endurance ISR and communications relay support. Upon mission completion the drone can rapidly egress. Similarly, the LeVanta Tech platform can patrol a large area in flight mode and then land to investigate contacts of interest. Free float mode allows the platform to minimize energy consumption to provide more persistent sensor and communications relay coverage. The float-and-fly drones are attritable, yet survivable.

LeVanta Tech is grateful to share that we have received an $800,000 credit investment from Leonid Capital Partners, a milestone that strengthens our ability to continue developing mission-driven unmanned systems at the intersection of maritime and aerial operations. This support enables us to accelerate work on our hybrid sea–air unmanned...
On October 7, 2025, at the DFNC3 forum in Kyiv, U.S.-based LeVanta Tech Inc. signed a cooperation agreement with Ukraine's Ukroboronprom. The focus is on developing hybrid unmanned systems that operate both on water and in the air, under the "float-and-fly" concept. This includes joint R&D, prototype testing in Ukraine,...
LeVanta Tech is honored to have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Ukrainian Defense Industry (UkroboronProm) during the 3rd International Defense Industry Conference in Kyiv (DFNC3). This agreement marks an important step forward in our collaboration with Ukraine’s defense sector. Together, we aim to advance the testing of LeVanta Tech’s...
