Using an innovative hybrid-electric gas turbine powerplant, our solution delivers extended range, endurance and a payload significantly greater than current rechargeable Lithium Polymer batteries, and without the need for complex electrical infrastructure for re-charging batteries in the field or at sea. Fuel will be widely available Jet A1 or diesel.

The HLUAS will provide a payload of up to 250kg and have a potential range approaching 100km. It will meet the demanding requirements of both defence & security clients by transporting large payloads to and from small naval platforms and ground pads without the need for a runway. It will outperform crewed alternatives by increasing scale and efficiency of operations while improving safety. Cross-cutting technology ensures seamless execution of missions, enhancing operational capacity across roles from logistics to reconnaissance.

The HLUAS employs an open architecture, ensuring a flexible and adaptable software and payload interface which is key to enabling support to a diverse array of potential cargo types, while also ensuring the safe carriage and operation of equipment. These capabilities are designed for integration with broader enterprise and industrial systems. The HLUAS will deliver operational potential to expand existing logistics and surveillance networks through the addition of autonomous nodes. This expansion enhances operational capabilities, particularly in congested and complex battlefield and logistic support environments.

It will be designed to be certified to both Civil and Military Aviation Airworthiness requirements using Marshall’s UK CAA and UK MAA Design, Manufacturing and Flight Test Organisation approvals.
