Kaman Developing New K-Max UAS
Citat: Kaman Aerospace Group is developing a next generation K-MAX unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that will allow operators to have the capability to fly the aircraft on either manned or unmanned missions. Kaman expects to offer unmanned system kits for both new-production and existing K-MAX aircraft in 2020.
Concurrently, Kaman is exploring opportunities to support the U.S. Marine Corps in developing co-use versions of autonomous aerial technologies that will have both commercial and military applications.


Citat:Kaman noted that the unmanned K-MAX has a proven record providing combat support while reducing risks faced by service men and women. In the 33 months that unmanned K-MAXs supported the Marine Corps in Afghanistan on combat resupply and logistical support missions, they moved more than 1.5 million pounds of cargo to remote outposts. Typically operating at night, these unmanned missions replaced the equivalent of 900 convoy vehicles and eliminated 46,000 hours of exposure time to IEDs, direct fire, and other threats to troops on dangerous roads.

Citat:The single-engine, single-seat K-MAX helicopter features a counter-rotating rotor system and is optimized for external load operations. It can lift up to 2,722 kilograms (6,000 pounds).
