Kraus Hamdani Aerospace
"Aerial technologies that save lives and connect the world"
US maker of the K1000ULE solar-electric, ultra-long-endurance autonomous UAS for ISR, communications relay and disaster response.
Kraus Hamdani Aerospace, Inc. is a US-based developer and manufacturer of intelligent autonomous unmanned aerial systems for defense, national security, and commercial missions. Its flagship platform, the K1000ULE, is a fully electric, solar-powered, ultra-long-endurance (ULE) and long-range UAS that uses onboard artificial intelligence to silently glide like a bird while generating clean energy from wing-mounted solar arrays, requiring no fuel logistics and no runway. The aircraft has a roughly 20-foot wingspan, operates up to 20,000 feet in all weather, and carries ISR payloads on missions of multi-day endurance; a K1000ULE set an endurance record with a continuous flight exceeding 75 hours. The company reports over 170,000 miles flown and 6,000-plus operational hours across deployments in the United States, Philippines, Guam, Oman, Jordan, and Morocco.
Beyond the airframe, the company develops ATNE++, an airborne mesh-enabled, multi-waveform self-healing communications network that bridges legacy and modern tactical data links to provide resilient voice and data connectivity across sea, land, air, and space; and MD-ACT, an AI-driven multi-domain autonomous collaborative teaming system that coordinates manned and unmanned platforms and reduces operator cognitive load. The K1000ULE is listed on the DIU Blue UAS Cleared and Select lists. Kraus Hamdani Aerospace was awarded a USD 270 million AFCENT contract and selected by the US Navy PMA-263, and supports defense, search-and-rescue, disaster response, and oil-and-gas pipeline monitoring. Designed and manufactured in the USA, the company is headquartered in Reno, Nevada, with engineering and manufacturing sites in California and Glasgow, UK.
