Containerized Autonomous Air Capability for Austere Environments
Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, has introduced the Nomad 100 fast pack, a containerized vertical takeoff and landing uncrewed aerial system (UAS) kit designed for rapid deployment and sustainment in austere environments. The kit includes four Nomad 100 aircraft, mission-command software, and sustainment equipment, all packaged in a single 20-foot ISO container. This development may help address the U.S. Armed Forces’ need for compact and mobile autonomous solutions. The Nomad 100 fast pack was first reported by Sikorsky.
