    Operational Advantage

    Innovations in uncrewed systems are disrupting the way wars are fought and the way in which they will be won.

    Hydrogen fuel cells offer significantly longer operational times/ranges and faster turnarounds compared to traditional battery technologies, as well as delivering reduced detectability and lower maintenance and operational costs compared to combustion-powered alternatives.

    Lower Detectability

    Total elimination of jet engine noise, reducing noise levels by up to 85%. Operating at much lower temperatures than typical UAV jet engines, with exhausts three times cooler and up to 80 times lower IR radiation.
