About

About HAMR

HAMR is Advanced Aircraft Company’s hybrid-electric six-rotor UAS for long-endurance sensing, inspection, security and logistics missions. A fuel-injected engine drives a generator for the electric motors, while an onboard battery supplies reserve power for controlled flight and landing if the engine stops.

The aircraft flies for more than 3.5 hours in endurance configurations or carries up to five kilograms. Two modular payload bays support simultaneous sensors, communications equipment or cargo, with 48-volt and 24-volt power outputs. The 24.9-kilogram aircraft packs into one transport case, sets up in under five minutes and is rated IP54 for dust and light precipitation.
