The Advantage in Contested Logistics 

The BETA ecosystem supports mission generation by freeing up critical aviation assets. BETA's products have demonstrated exceptional reliability, greater efficiency and lower operating costs compared to legacy platforms. 

Simple and flexible designs result in minimal maintenance, yielding higher throughput than trucks or legacy aircraft. The BETA ecosystem enables equipment and supply pre-positioning, scalable logistics packages and access to forward operating sites in dispersal operations.

Proven Experience

BETA has a demonstrated track record of working with the military and has achieved many industry firsts in the defense space.

Partners in Defense

Since 2019, BETA has been demonstrating how ALIA meets real-world requirements for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), including participation in military exercises in simulated contested environments thanks to our long-standing partnerships through AFWERX and Agility Prime.

BETA’s demonstrations and simulated sorties at United States Air Force bases — including Andrews, Eglin and Edwards — have been performed by active duty armed forces pilots and maintainers. BETA is honored to work with real service members to validate military use cases, including critical resupply, cargo delivery, casualty evacuation, and personnel transport — putting both partners in a position to advance DoD goals, mission success and national security.

What

Operational experimentation of electric aircraft and its charging capabilities to demonstrate resupply operations to disbursed locations.

BETA provided training and support from October '23 through January '24 with the ALIA platform and supplied the nation's first aircraft charger on a DoD installation. BETA proved 100% operational reliability and 98% dispatch reliability.
