HADI

Built to watch. Built to strike.

Flight tested

One airframe. Two missions.

HADI is a modular unmanned aerial system built around a common structural and avionics core. The same base platform reconfigures in the field between a vertical take-off and landing configuration for persistent ISR, and a catapult-launched loitering munition configuration for precision strike.

No retooling. No specialist support equipment.

Configurations

One structural and avionics core. Two mission fits, changed in the field — scroll to walk the airframe.

The camera below moves with your scroll: it frames the Catapult LM airframe, runs the elevons through a control check, then the four VTOL lift rotors mount in place of a runway, ending on the full specification for both fits.

VTOL

Persistent ISR

Vertical take-off and landing — no runway or catapult required. Optimised for persistent, AI-assisted electro-optical ISR and wide-area surveillance.

Config / B

HADI in catapult-launched configuration, isometric view

Catapult LM

Precision strike

Rail or catapult launch for extended range and speed. Loiters over the objective and delivers an AI-guided precision terminal strike.

Capability

What the airframe does, in both fits.

Field reconfiguration

ISR fit to strike fit on the same airframe, without retooling or specialist ground equipment. One spares chain, one training pipeline.

AI-assisted EO/IR

On-board electro-optical and infrared sensing with assisted detection, feeding a persistent wide-area picture.

Human authority

A person authorises every engagement. The aircraft never closes the loop alone.

Abort

The strike profile can be broken off after commit. Control hands back, and the aircraft returns to loiter.

Proof of rigour.

HADI is not a demonstration of what IDRAAK could eventually command. It carries flight autonomy and onboard perception — nothing more claimed than what has flown — and it is the evidence behind the assurance argument published on this site: the airworthiness and qualification discipline that underwrites everything else we say about how autonomy gets certified.
