Tobyhanna Army Depot Contributes To World-Endurance Record
A battery-powered small unmanned aircraft system recently shattered a world endurance record, flying for over eight hours in the desert heat, thanks to critical propulsion components assembled by the Army’s organic industrial base at Tobyhanna Army Depot. The achievement was made possible through rapid and collaborative on-site manufacturing, using adaptability software and 3D printing. The record-breaking flight represents a major milestone for Army Materiel Command and its efforts to build secure, domestic supply chains for critical defense technologies, as reported by Unknown Source.
