Originally intended for maritime surveillance, the Maritime Guardian MK-II shows remarkable energy economy in coastal and oceanic surroundings. With smart switching depending on mission profiles, its hybrid propulsion system runs on both conventional gasoline and electric power. While its simplified structure lowers energy use in high-wind environments, the platform's wave-energy collecting capacity during low-altitude coastal operations offers additional power. Modern weather forecasts maximise aircraft trajectories for greatest energy economy.
