Harris Aerial
Builds its own heavy-lift UAV airframes and powertrains (fully electric, hybrid EFI gasoline-electric, and hydrogen fuel-cell variants) in Florida. Platforms carry dual RTK GNSS and DoD-tested data links, and fly missions via the company's proprietary C-GCS ground control station and C-Navigator flight-planning software. The H6 airframe converts between electric, hybrid and hydrogen power formats in under 15 minutes; the HX8 supports tethered 24-hour persistent operation. Three Carrier H6 models cleared the DIU Blue UAS NDAA-compliance and cybersecurity vetting in 2026.
