HCI - developed for any application scenario

  • Our Argus30 and Argus30T (Thermal) drone gimbal guarantees precision for reconnaissance and surveillance use cases with 30x optical zoom. Our gimbal features a three axis stabilisation mechanism, enabling operators to make full use of 360° rotation.

  • The HCI is designed with modularity in mind, which enables easy transport, quick assembly/disassembly and the flexible exchange of sensor payloads.

    Additionally, we designed our HCI and HCX to be a product family. This means, subsystems like gimbals, controllers, data links and batteries can be used on both drones.

  • The HCI is designed to carry 1.2 kg of paylaod (like Argus30) for 75 minutes in the air, giving the operator more time for mission completion. Alternative payloads can also be chosen up to 10kg in weight.

    Moreover, range is not a concern with the HCI flying with a range up to 10-15km.

  • Our data links have AES 256-bit encryption to protect your data from unauthorized access and even feature multi-band-hopping as a jamming resilient solution.

    The operation can be fulfilled offline, with the option to forward the video and telemetry data to third parties, such as a control center and decision makers.

Developed for Reconnaissance Scenarios

  • Reconnaissance drones are necessary in modern application scenarios, providing real-time information to task forces with the aid of high-resolution cameras and thermal imaging. While the HCI is designed for reconnaissance purposes, it’s modular design as an open payload system (truck in the sky), means it can be used also to transport goods. The HCI has a payload capacity of 10kg with an impressive 33 minutes of flight time with that payload capacity. In all our designs, we strive to ensure minimal risk for the operator with maximum features for their needs.

  • The HCI tackles the drought in the Western drone market with an affordable solution. We developed a comprehensive dual-use portfolio which covers all systems required for drone deployment. Designing with the operator in mind lead us to create a product family, characterised by the cross-system use of accessories. In this way, many HIGHCAT drones use and will use the same subcomponents, like batteries, and controlled from a uniform ground station

  • The protection of your data is our top priority. You decide whether you want to use the drone online via a 5G connection or offline with a local data link. Our data links have FIPS-certified AES 256- and 128-bit encryption to protect your data from unauthorized access or manipulation. The optional forwarding of video and telemetry data to third parties, such as a control center, is also encrypted via European servers.
