HevenDrones Presenting Hydrogen-Powered UAS at Modern Day Marine Expo in DC

HevenDrones will be presenting its hydrogen-powered UAS, the H2D55, at the Modern Day Marine Expo in Washington, DC, from June 27th-29th. HevenDrones will discuss the paradigm shift its hydrogen-powered UAV provides as well as additional model configurations in its hydrogen-powered product line.

Improvements in EVTOL technology are creating new defense and security use cases, including logistics in contested environments (point-to-point delivery) and improved loitering capabilities for both attack and ISR missions.

Hydrogen-powered drones are uniquely positioned to significantly improve flight endurance as well as the logistical challenge associated with lithium batteries (supply, charge, and life cycle management) whilst also serving as the perfect use-case for USG hydrogen infrastructure investments in both a military and commercial context.

As part of the company’s hydrogen innovation strategy, HevenDrones is working to develop a hydrogen ecosystem, with a focus on electrolysis, fixed and portable refueling hubs, advances in regulation and integration within the wider mobility sector as well as other key hydrogen infrastructural projects at a military, federal and commercial level. HevenDrones currently has a partnership with PlugPower, a major supplier of hydrogen fuel cells designed to replace electric batteries in vehicles. Roy Levy, VP of Business Development & Gilad Katz, HevenDrones Chief of Staff, will be attending Modern Day Marine, providing in-depth demos of the H2D55 and outlining the company’s US expansion plans.
