HADIS
HADIS – the new autonomous unmanned tactical cargo glider: Developed to resupply military troops in heavily embattled terrain and hard-to-reach areas. With its wide range and low radar signature it infiltrates enemy lines to strengthen the position at the front.
The secure provision of supplies for military units in remote and difficult-to-reach conflict or crisis areas is crucial for the survival and operational effectiveness of troops. The use of tactical cargo gliders offers a particularly fast and reliable solution. Conventional systems require low drop altitudes and the overflight of the target area, exposing the aircrew to additional risks.
In contrast, the newly developed, autonomous and unmanned tactical cargo glider from HENSOLDT stands out with its exceptionally long range and low radar signature. It is capable of penetrating enemy lines, overcoming obstacles and securing logistical support at the front line.
The autonomous cargo glider HADIS combines advanced UAV expertise with innovative design to ensure safe and flexible supply missions in contested environments. Core strengths include:
- Frontline deployment
- Infiltration of enemy territories
- Overcoming obstacles
- Strategic supplies for troops
With extended range, low detectability, and rapid deployability, it enables precise and autonomous delivery — tailored to operational needs.
- Airdrop parameters: Very long range due to high glide ratio (170km glide distance), payload up to 500kg, chute landing is very precise
- Secure mission execution: No external communication & no propulsion, low detectability & radar signature, “Fire and Forget” is possible
- Customer orientation: Low-cost production, high landing precision, quick & easy operational readiness
