HALO Aeronautics Delivers Innovative
UAS to Military Worldwide
The combined capabilities of By Light and Hush Aerospace are bringing battlefield relevant UAS designs, up-to-the-minute technology, rapid prototyping and at-scale manufacturing to the marketplace. HALO represents a powerful partnership of Hush Aerospace’s unprecedented UAS expertise and mission performance in cutting-edge UAS design combined with By Light’s resources as a large Defense contractor and proven ability to execute at scale and comply with Federal requirements. Our full-time facilities at Virginia Beach, VA, and Fayetteville, NC, provide real-time direct support, onsite training, and customer collaborative design to the DoD’s most demanding customers.
HALO Aeronautics understands the full spectrum of the military UAS mission: operational requirements, tactics, individual UAS pilot and unit collective training, maintenance and sustainment, and design and engineering. HALO platforms reduce operational costs and increase mission effectiveness. We are changing the perception of the UAV industry with reliable platforms that feature long flight times and low acoustic signatures while achieving multi-modal mission capability across air and water.
HALO platforms feature:
- Operator Centric DesignTM (OCD)
- First Person View (FPV) or Fully Autonomous piloting
- Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL)
- All Carbon Fiber, lightest weight construction
- Payload agnostic – integrating any kinetic or sensor payload
- Ultra low acoustic signature
- Tool-less assembly/Operator repairable
- EW resilient, encrypted communications
- NDAA compliant parts and supply chain
