About
About Sonora
Sonora is a small uncrewed aircraft designed for unit-level ISR training and operator familiarisation. It allows teams to practise mission preparation, launch, flight control, sensor use and recovery through repeatable exercises using a dedicated training platform.
The system supports scalable instruction across new operators and established units and can reproduce the workflows used with operational reconnaissance aircraft. Harmattan AI supplies the aircraft within a broader autonomy and mission-management portfolio, giving customers a consistent route from training into deployed UAS operations.
