HP MJF for Unmanned Systems
Versatile Fixed-Wing & VTOL Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for Long-Range Civilian, Commercial & Military Applications
HFP-3 Modular-propulsion long-range drone for monitoring & surveillance
HFP-3

The HFP-3 is a prototype long-endurance drone designed with a modular propulsion system supporting both electric and internal combustion configurations. With a 3.85 m wingspan, 2.7 m fuselage, and 25 kg MTOW, it carries a 7 kg payload and achieves up to 4 hours of endurance on electric power or 7+ hours with an internal combustion setup. This flexibility allows mission planners to optimize performance for range, endurance, or operational environment.

The platform serves a broad range of observation and security applications, including forest and natural hazard monitoring, thermal-assisted survivor search, agricultural survey of large fields, long-distance border and perimeter surveillance, wide-area security breach detection, and photogrammetric mapping for terrain analysis. The HFP-3’s modular design enables tailored configurations for both civilian and defense-oriented monitoring tasks.
