Responsible use and export
Last updated 15 November 2026
How we approach the responsible development and any future supply of HX-1.
Where HX-1 stands
HX-1 is a prototype in development. It is not for sale, and we are not taking orders. Figures we publish are design targets, not measured results.
Intended uses
HX-1 is designed for surveillance and inspection: maritime patrol, harbour and hull inspection, offshore asset inspection, search and rescue, and environmental survey.
Export control and regulation
Any future sale, supply or transfer of HX-1, its technology or its data will be subject to the export-control, sanctions, customs and aviation rules that apply in the countries involved. We will obtain the licences and approvals those rules require, carry out end-use and end-user checks, and decline supply where the rules or our own assessment do not allow it.
Operation
Wherever HX-1 is flown or operated, including in testing, it will be operated in line with the applicable aviation, maritime and privacy rules.
