The RT Robotics HERA is a heavy-lift, long-endurance UAV designed for demanding inspection, mapping, and industrial operations. Built around a rugged all-weather airframe, HERA supports up to 15 kg (33 lb) payloads, enabling operators to fly multi-sensor configurations such as LiDAR, thermal, corona detection, photogrammetry, and specialized industrial payloads simultaneously.

With 56 minutes of endurance (no payload), a 46-minute flight time with a 5.7 lb payload, and a 7-mile command-and-control range, HERA delivers the performance needed for powerline patrols, mining surveys, oil & gas inspection, and long corridor flights.
Its advanced 360° obstacle avoidance—operable in daylight, night, smoke, fog, and low-visibility environments—gives crews the confidence to operate in complex, high-risk areas.

HERA is engineered as a modular, mission-flexible platform built for real industrial use.
