K1000ULE

The world’s longest endurance fully electric Group-2 UAS.

Intelligence. Communications. Mission Success.

The K1000ULE is engineered for relentless, unblinking overwatch. Built in the United States, this fully electric platform utilizes solar-assisted in-flight recharging to achieve up to 24 hours of fixed-wing endurance. It is explicitly designed to operate with minimal acoustic, visual, and radar signatures, allowing it to act as a silent, invisible node for intelligence and communications relay.
The aircraft requires minimal logistical footprint, deployable by a 2-3 person team directly from an 80-inch Pelican case in under 10 minutes. Capable of runway-independent eVTOL or vehicle launch, the K1000ULE empowers seamless manned-unmanned teaming and resilient connectivity exactly where it matters most.

AI-Driven Actionable Intelligence

The K1000ULE utilizes advanced AI-driven technology to orchestrate sea, land, and air systems, empowering faster decision-making. It features onboard AI image processing to deliver critical intelligence directly to the edge.

Resilient Global Navigation

Survive heavily contested airspace. The platform integrates Multi-Constellation Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) with advanced anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities. It is fully capable of executing Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) operations and navigating in GPS-denied environments (Note: GPS/GNSS is required for initial launch and recovery).

Rapid Pelican-to-Launch

True operational flexibility. The entire aircraft breaks down into a vehicle-transportable hardshell Pelican case measuring 80 X 22 X 18 in (203 X 56 X 46 cm). A small team can assemble and launch the aircraft in just 10 minutes, requiring no runway infrastructure.

Fielded, Deployed, and Proven

Validation beyond the testing ground. Currently operating at TRL-9 / MRL-9 readiness, the K1000ULE has flown over 192,500 total miles. It boasts more than 7,000 operational hours across 1,700+ global sorties on behalf of government and commercial customers.
