G3 Guerrero
Hydra Technologies · Mexico · also known as Super Guerrero · Updated
G3 Guerrero is a fixed-wing tactical unmanned aerial system made by Hydra Technologies of Jalisco, Mexico, built for aerial surveillance, mapping and monitoring. Hydra markets it to law enforcement, search-and-rescue organisations and commercial operators, describing it as a "cost-effective solution that delivers outstanding performance."
Overview
Hydra Technologies, founded in 2005 and based at a manufacturing plant in Jalisco, Mexico, builds the G3 as part of its line of tactical remotely piloted aircraft alongside the company's older S4 Ehécatl and newer S-45 Báalam, S50 Kukulkán and S55 Ares systems. A Czech trade publication has described the G3 as an upgraded, 2020-era development of an earlier G2 model, sometimes referred to informally as the "Super Guerrero," though Hydra's own current product page does not use that name.
Design and capabilities
Hydra's own product page rates the G3 Guerrero at up to 9 hours of endurance and a range of up to 95 km, with a 4 kg payload capacity and an operational ceiling of up to 13,550 ft (4,130 m) above sea level. It has a 4.06 m wingspan and is powered by a gasoline-fuelled, fuel-injected four-stroke piston engine. Hydra does not publish the aircraft's weight, dimensions beyond wingspan, maximum speed, or its launch and recovery method on this page.
Use cases
Hydra positions the G3 for aerial surveillance, mapping and monitoring work, naming law enforcement agencies, search-and-rescue teams and commercial businesses as intended operators. Hydra's broader customer base includes the Mexican federal government and other public-security and civil-protection agencies in Latin America, though no operator has been publicly confirmed for the G3 specifically.
