THE TACTIEN GROUP

AVIATION • UAS • CUAS • ADVISORY

OUR MISSION.

The Tactien Group is independent aviation intelligence for the companies that keep critical infrastructure running. We help operators decide whetherhow, and when to integrate airborne technology. Then we help them build the right solution.

WHAT WE DELIVER

6 disciplines

We help infrastructure
operators maximize value
from airborne technology.

Utilities, oil & gas operators, water systems, and the OEMs who sell into them all face the same question: is airborne technology actually worth integrating into our operation, and if so, how?

That question is hard to answer. Aviation is a small industry that moves fast. New platforms, new sensors, new regulations are a constant. Vendors are incentivized to sell. Internal teams often have one chance to show ROI. Real answers require an outside perspective we a depth of operational experience, seat time in program offices, and is familair with the FAA's docket.

The Tactien team occupy's that seat. We are an extension to critical-infrastructure operators and serve as the unbiased perspective, spoken from unique experience, in a capacity to support execution that is successful the first time.

A realist culture.

01

REALISM

PRINCIPLE

WHAT YOU NEED TO HEAR

UAS has enormous value potential, but that does not mean it is valuable for every use case. And even when it is, one aircraft type is vastly different from the next. We build off of decades of operational experience to tell you what is real, what is unrealistic, and what is simply being sold to you.

02

Pragmatism

PRINCIPLE

MULTI-DOMAIN EXPERIENCE

We are aircraft-neutral. We will always provide the unbiased perspective aimed at the customer's success, even if that means sacrificing value for Tactien. There is no platform, vendor, or contractor we are obligated to recommend.

03

Ambition

PRINCIPLE

SCALE WITH ACCOUNTABILITY

We have proven (and disproven) some of the most complex aircraft and use cases to date. Ambition is a virtue best complemented with tactical foresight and the ability to pivot at the correct time. We push hard for what is possible, and we are unafraid to call a program when it isn't.
