About Hexadrone
Hexadrone develops TUNDRA 2, a modular French multirotor for inspection, security, research and defence missions. The aircraft uses standardised mechanical, electrical and software interfaces so operators can change cameras, sensors, communications equipment and other payloads without replacing the core platform.
Its rugged airframe and configurable propulsion support field work across varied environments, while open integration lets specialist partners build mission packages around the vehicle. Hexadrone manufactures and assembles the system in France and emphasises repairability, component availability and long-term fleet support. Customers can acquire a base aircraft or work with the company and integrators on a complete operational configuration.
