  • The HAMR UAS, is a hybrid electric multi-rotor that can carry 4 lbs of payload for 2 hours. 
 
  • The HAMR UAS incorporates a hybrid electric propulsion system, which enables the aircraft to carry about 8 times more useful energy than a battery powered multi-rotor. 
 
  • This long endurance serves our commercial customers by increasing the productivity of their pilots, which enables twice as many acres to be imaged per day, and thus twice as much revenue.
