High Eye
High Eye specializes in the design, production, and sale of long-range VTOL UAVs - the Airboxer - for the international market. Our Airboxer is basically an unmanned helicopter that is capable of vertical take-off and landing and can be operated by a pilot at the Ground Control Station that allows for NATO standard interoperability. We are proud to offer the Airboxer, a heavy-fuel-driven UAV with exceptional endurance (3-4 hours), a maximum payload of 7 kg, and a maximum take-off weight of 32 kg. The Airboxer is also IP 67 and EMI-shielded, making it suitable for a variety of missions in challenging environments. Our main areas of focus include maritime missions (such as Coast Guard and Navy operations, anti-piracy missions for commercial vessels, and Search and Rescue), security and surveillance (including border control and security of sites and assets), inspections (such as offshore infrastructure, mining pits, and power lines), and research (including studies of wildlife and mining). We are committed to providing innovative and reliable UAV solutions to meet the needs of the end-user.
