About Kraus Hamdani Aerospace

Kraus Hamdani Aerospace develops long-endurance electric uncrewed aircraft for defence, communications and emergency-response missions. Its K1000ULE is designed for persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, radio relay and other workloads that require a small aircraft to remain airborne far longer than conventional battery-powered multirotors.

The platform can operate individually or in coordinated groups, carrying mission-specific sensors and communications equipment. Distributed electric propulsion and autonomous flight software support efficient operation from austere locations without a runway. The company supplies aircraft, ground systems, payload integration, training and operational support for government customers.
