About Sol.One
Sol.One combines aircraft development with safety-critical electronics and mission control. It designs long-range vertical-takeoff UAS in the 20-150 kg class, supplies certifiable flight-control and flight-termination avionics, and develops ground systems for coordinating unmanned vehicles.
The Belgian company was founded in 2014. Its current aircraft programme spans Saboteur for long-range ISR and strike, Hitchhiker for counter-UAS interception and HiveBay as an autonomous ground segment. A new 8,000 m2 Ghent factory entered fit-out in August 2026 as Sol.One prepared to expand domestic production.
