fixed-wing mini-UAS systems

RQ-35 Heidrun - Resilient and combat-proven Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)

  • Autonomy up to 150 min, 
  • Superior performance and EW resilience,
  • Transmission range up to 50 km, 
  • Manual launch and stall landing,
  • GNSS-denied operation.

Designed to perform in all conditions

The RQ-35 Heidrun is a combat-proven fixed-wing mini-UAS designed for the most critical ISR missions.
Thanks to its cutting-edge technologies, it offers exceptional resilience in the face of electronic warfare, unrivalled autonomy, intuitive operation and single-operator capability.
Successfully deployed by the Ukrainian armed forces since 2022, it guarantees the collection of strategic data in real time and seamless integration with C2/BMS systems.

Architecture designed for the mission

Designed to advance modern operational capabilities, the RQ-35 Heidrun puts technology at the service of soldiers and decision-makers.
From the UAS platform to the software, payloads, antenna, GCS, training and field service, every component is designed to maximise mission time and ensure tactical superiority.
