HAMR hybrid multirotor UAV offers 3.5+ hours endurance, modular payload bays, rapid deployment, and NDAA-compliant design for ISR, defense, and commercial missions.

# Advanced Aircraft Company HAMR – Hybrid Advanced Multi-Rotor UAS

The HAMR (Hybrid Advanced Multi-Rotor) from Advanced Aircraft Company (AAC) is a next-generation unmanned aerial system designed for long-duration operations with the versatility of a multirotor. Powered by a gasoline-electric hybrid propulsion system, it delivers endurance and performance far beyond traditional battery-powered drones, making it ideal for ISR, commercial, and public safety missions.

Key Features and Advantages

Hybrid Propulsion & Endurance

The HAMR employs a Pegasus Aeronautics GE35 gasoline engine that powers a generator, supplying energy to six brushless DC motors. This system enables flight times of over 3.5 hours with lighter payloads. In case of engine failure, an integrated battery ensures a safe landing, enhancing mission security.

Payload Capacity & Modularity

With a maximum payload capacity of 2.7 kg (≈ 6 lbs), the HAMR features dual modular payload bays. These can house electro-optical/infrared sensors, LiDAR units, communication relays, or custom mission packages. The center bay may also be configured for auxiliary fuel, extending operational range.

Deployment & Durability

Field deployment is quick, requiring less than 5 minutes to set up. The platform is rated IP54, making it resistant to dust and splashes, well suited for rugged or maritime environments. Its design emphasizes maintainability in austere conditions.

Advanced Avionics & Compliance

The HAMR is NDAA Sec. 848 compliant and manufactured in the USA with traceable components. It integrates a PixHawk Cube Blue autopilot running PX4, supports QGroundControl, and provides detailed telemetry. Safety is further reinforced by backup power systems.
