Fort Myers, Florida – April 22, 2022: Kraus Hamdani Aerospace proudly announces that its K1000ULE unmanned aerial system has been recognized with a Silver Award at the Edison Awards. Nicknamed the “best of the best” by industry leaders, the Edison Awards acknowledge excellence in product and service development, marketing, human-centered design, and innovation.

“We are honored to receive a Silver Award from the Edison Awards,” said CEO Fatema Hamdani of Kraus Hamdani Aerospace. “This recognition validates our commitment to developing cutting-edge technology that addresses real-world challenges. The K1000ULE is a game-changer, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in unmanned aerial systems.”

Unmatched Endurance for Long-Range Missions

The K1000ULE stands out in the electric fixed-wing drone space with an average in-air duration of 16-24 hours, including an operation exceeding 26 hours. This surpasses competitors’ capabilities, most offering a maximum of five hours of flight time. The extended flight time is achieved through a sophisticated combination of factors. It utilizes edge processing and AI-powered analytics to leverage real-time geospatial and third-party data, optimizing performance and mission effectiveness.

The K1000ULE’s autonomous operation and beyond-line-of-sight functionality make it ideal for missions in remote or GPS-denied environments. Advanced NSA Type-1/Type-2 encrypted communication ensures soldiers have a secure and reliable connection, receiving critical real-time target acquisition and threat reporting to stay safe.

Beyond Innovation: A Commitment to Positive Impact

Kraus Hamdani Aerospace prioritizes corporate social responsibility. The K1000ULE’s capabilities extend far beyond the battlefield, playing a vital role in environmental protection. Its ability to identify heat signatures with pinpoint geo-location makes it an invaluable tool in preventing wildfires.

This is a testament to Kraus Hamdani Aerospace’s commitment to saving lives and protecting the planet through actively supporting philanthropic causes aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including regenerative agriculture, wildlife conservation, and climate change initiatives.

All nominations are reviewed by the Edison Awards’ Steering Committee and an executive judging body. The panel comprises more than 2,000 senior business executives and academics from the fields of product development, design, engineering, science, marketing, and education, as well as past winners.
