Your Mission
KUM Services GmbH converts proven civil aircraft into customized platforms—delivering performance, reliability, and value faster than traditional programs. Germany's HPAA (High Performance Autonomous Aircraft) and robot aircraft specialists, based in Germany.
Our Approach
Purpose-Built.
Proven Performance.
The conversion of civil aircrafts to high performance autonomous aircraft (HPAA) is the easiest and fastest way. KUM Services GmbH, Germany, equips civil aircraft for special missions—meeting customer requirements at an affordable price.
The Case for Customization
Why Customized
HPAA?
There are a variety of manufacturers offering ready-made systems for purchase. These systems do not always meet customer requirements and are very costly with long delivery times. For this reason, it is important to offer high performance autonomous aircraft (HPAA) according to customer needs and available resources.
Availability of Aircrafts
Civil platforms are available on the market and can be selected based on mission and resource constraints.
Low Cost
A simple conversion path avoids lengthy development and construction timelines and keeps programme cost affordable.
Design is Approved
The base aircraft design is already approved and proven in civil operation.
Reliability Proven
Reliability is proven by thousands of flying hours, with worldwide maintenance options and spare parts supply.
Key Advantage
Not Identifiable.
Fully Capable.
The aircrafts stay on civil registration and can be ferried to the place of operation with pilots. There is no need for special flight permits from authorities. Conversion to high performance autonomous aircraft (HPAA) is completed on site in a very short period, and the aircraft is not identifiable as HPAA.
