ADVANCED SOLUTIONS FOR DEFENSE AND SECURITY

Long Range Drones

Looking to gain a strategic advantage in critical defense and public safety missions? Height Technologies specializes in long-range drones (NATO class-1 micro and mini, MTOW < 25 kg) that offer extended endurance, stealth, and adaptability.

Our multirotor platforms excel at covert missions, thanks to their low noise and minimal visual signature—making them indispensable for teams that need flexibility and portability in challenging environments.

Saving lives through covert comms with the RRM

One of the most significant risks in drone operations is having your radio signals intercepted by adversaries, which can compromise the location of the ground station.

Our in-house developed Remote Radio Module (RRM) changes the game. You effectively shield operators from detection by placing this compact external unit high above ground (e.g., in a tree) and connecting it to your control station via a 100m+ Ethernet cable. This approach can mean the difference between mission success and putting lives at risk.

Life-Saving Covert Advantage

Keep your radio transmissions away from the pilot’s actual position to avoid being pinpointed — safeguarding operators from dangerous countermeasures.

Extended Radio Line of Sight

Elevating the RRM improves communication range while maintaining a stable link, even in cluttered or contested areas.

Seamless Plug & Play Integration

Connect the RRM via Ethernet cable for instant compatibility with your Martlet ground control systems.

01
Stealth and Portability: Multirotor drones are often quieter, smaller, and easier to deploy in tight or urban environments, making them ideal for covert missions.
02
Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL): No need for a runway—multirotors can launch and land in confined spaces.
03
Mission Flexibility: Thanks to their hovering capability and agility, they’re well-suited for close-range surveillance, search-and-rescue, and other scenarios requiring precise maneuvering.

How do multirotor drones compare to fixed-wing systems?

While fixed-wing drones typically offer longer flight durations, multirotor drones provide unmatched adaptability and stealth—critical advantages for modern defense and public safety applications.

Drone Range vs. Maximal Communication Range

  • Flight Range (Distance per Battery): How far a drone can travel on a single battery charge, influenced by factors like payload weight and flight conditions.
  • Maximal Radio Range: Dictated by the strength and stability of the communication link between the drone and the ground station. A drone with a generous flight range can still be limited if the radio link isn’t resilient against interference or jamming attacks.
Height Technologies addresses both aspects by providing long-range drones that can fly extended missions and leverage the RRM for robust communication—ensuring you don’t compromise safety when operating at a distance.

Your Covert Edge in Defense and Security

Combining long-distance drone capabilities with the Remote Radio Module allows you to execute missions discreetly, protect your ground crew, and maintain a stable command-and-control link—even under the most challenging conditions.
