General
HITBIRD is the world’s first high-performance unmanned UAS platform for medium- and long-range missions and high payloads. It is constructed from high-quality aircraft aluminium. Its robust construction and sophisticated design ensure reliable operation under a wide range of conditions, while also allowing for scalable, industrial, and cost-effective in-house manufacturing.
The flying wing design is the obvious choice: it offers aerodynamic advantages, a low radar signature and high payloads. HITBIRD is perfect for a wide range of applications and missions where performance, efficiency and achieving mission goals are essential.
The platform is controlled by a proprietary cross-system AI software system, mission planning and flight control system. It supports visual navigation and automatic object recognition, tracking, targeting and forms the basis for stable, safe, and adaptive flight operations.
HITBIRD stands for sophisticated technology, durable construction, and economic scalability. It was developed for professional military use.
