USA-Made · NDAA-Compliant Drones
USA-Made Heavy-Lift Platforms. Engineered for the Mission That Cannot Fail.
Harris Aerial builds heavy lift drones for teams carrying real payloads — 4 KG to 40 KG — on missions where failure is not an option. Seven industrial heavy lift UAV platforms, engineered and manufactured in the USA, every one sharing the same Universal Quick-Release Connector. Scale your airframe. Keep your payloads.
Hover any platform to surface mission intelligence. Every airframe is field-convertible across our modular payload library.
Seven USA-made heavy lift drones, side by side. Every airframe takes the same payload library through the Universal Quick-Release Connector, so you can choose the platform for the mission rather than for the sensor.
| Platform | Class | Max payload | Max endurance | Power system | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrier H4C Quad | Compact | 4 KG (8.8 lbs) | 50 min | Battery · IP54 | Rapid-deploy inspection in confined sites |
| Carrier H6 Electric | Modular | 8 KG (17.6 lbs) | 48 min | Battery · 32,000 mAh / 12S | General survey, mapping and inspection |
| Carrier H6 Hybrid EFI | Modular | 5 KG (11 lbs) | 240 min | 2.4 kW EFI generator | Long-duration corridor and pipeline work |
| Carrier H6 Hydrone | Modular | 5 KG (11 lbs) | 180 min | 2.4 kW hydrogen fuel cell | Noise-sensitive, long-endurance survey |
| Carrier HX8 | Redundancy | 8 KG (17.6 lbs) | 43 min | Battery · X8 coaxial | Redundancy-critical, high-value payloads |
| Carrier H6HL | Heavy-lift | 40 KG (88.2 lbs) | 48 min | Battery · 300+ lbs thrust | Maximum-lift logistics and equipment placement |
| Carrier HX8 Tether | Persistent | 9.5 KG (21 lbs) | Up to 24 hours | Ground power · 5,000 W / 30 Gbps | Persistent overwatch from a fixed position |
Endurance figures are maximum values without payload; real-world endurance falls as payload increases. The H6HL is specified by lift capacity rather than a published endurance figure. Every platform is engineered and manufactured in the United States and built to NDAA-compliant supply-chain requirements.
Every Carrier shares the same payload library, command stack, and federal-ready architecture. Switch the airframe — never the workflow.
Harris C-GCS · Live Telemetry
Every Carrier ships with the same dampened modular quick-release mount. Run LiDAR, thermal gimbals, multispectral arrays, or magnetometers across the fleet with continuous 12V / 24V / 48V power and full data interfaces ready out of the box.
Dual RTK GNSS for centimeter-level accuracy and triple-redundant IMUs across the heavy-lift lineup. Controlled via the Harris C-GCS or HereLink — same command stack, every airframe, every mission.
Designed, assembled, and supported in the USA. Fully NDAA Section 848 compliant architecture — ready for federal, defense, and critical infrastructure deployments where supply-chain provenance is non-negotiable.
