Advanced Aircraft Company (AAC) operates in the aviation and aerospace component manufacturing sector, developing hybrid fuel-electric unmanned aircraft systems for defense applications. AAC's unmanned aerial systems use multirotor configurations with hybrid propulsion and aerodynamic airframes designed for long-endurance flights and the ability to carry multiple sensor payloads. Production follows ISO AS9100 standards, with line replaceable components to enable rapid field servicing, and an open modular architecture that allows mission-specific reconfiguration while a continuous development program extends aircraft service life. The systems are highly portable, can be launched in minutes without support infrastructure, and are NDAA Sec. 848 compliant, with production in the USA using qualified traceable parts; the company employs between 11 and 50 people. The company, founded in 2017 and based at 1100 Exploration Way Suite 302s, Hampton, Virginia 23666, is veteran-owned and operated; its first product HAMR provides over two hours of flight with a four-pound payload, and it has licensed NASA GL-10 technology for the Greased Lightning UAS, projected to fly about 19 hours with a five-pound payload and capable of takeoff and landing without launch or recovery equipment.
