HIKADE TECHNOLOGIES: stratospheric technologies and advanced engineering
May 16, 2025 / 2:15 PM
Hikade Technologies is a Czech-based company specializing in advanced engineering and R&D services with a strong focus on stratospheric technologies. At the core of our expertise lies the development of high-precision gimbal systems designed for high-altitude platforms (HAPS), making us one of the few players in the region actively engaged in this niche yet rapidly growing segment. Our flagship product — a lightweight, highly stabilized gimbal for stratospheric applications — integrates optoelectronic payloads for earth observation, telecommunications, and defense surveillance, with both single-use and modular configurations tailored to customer needs.
Beyond our gimbal development, we offer a broad portfolio of engineering services, including rapid prototyping, mechanical design, and small-series manufacturing, particularly suited for the aerospace and defense industries.
Our R&D capabilities span from early-stage feasibility studies to final validation and field testing. We work closely with partners in the space, aerospace, and ground support sectors, focusing on specialized technological challenges such as thermal management at high altitudes, payload stabilization, and custom mechanical solutions under extreme environmental conditions.
Driven by a commitment to precision, agility, and collaboration, Hikade Technologies continues to develop innovative solutions that contribute to the next generation of aerial and near-space systems.
