01
AY-280 Hammer is a mission-ready rugged tactical drone platform for real-time ISR, precision delivery and short range reconnaissance tasks.
Developed in collaboration with the Italian Army Special Forces.
Featuring integrated AI, robust endurance, and full GNSS-denied capability, AY>280 Hammer adapts to the most severe operational scenarios.
02
Compact, multipurpose aerial system engineered for reliability, scale production, and tactical adaptability.
→ Designed to perform under stress and deliver consistent results across mission profiles, HAMMER combines proven hardware with software-defined autonomyto support ISR, logistics, swarm coordination, and tactical support applications.
Built for repeatability and low-friction production scaling, its design-to-manufacture approach that minimizes complexity, optimizes part commonality, and prioritizes reliability under field conditions.
