Unmanned Cargo

Issue: 04-2010By SP’s Aviation News Desk

Boeing A160T proved resupply capability for US Marines during a cargo delivery demonstration at the US Army’s Dugway Proving Ground in Utah

The Boeing A160T Hummingbird has successfully completed a cargo delivery demonstration under a US Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory contract. It proved the unmanned rotorcraft’s ability to resupply frontline troops in rough terrain. The Hummingbird met the demonstration requirements during the tests, conducted from March 9 to March 11, 2010 at the US Army’s Dugway Proving Ground in Utah.

The demonstration proved that A160T can deliver at least 2,500 Ibs of cargo from one simulated forward-operating base to another 75 nautical miles away within six hours. The simulated mission carried 1,250 Ibs sling loads over two 150-nautical-mile round trips, with the A160T operating autonomously on a preprogrammed mission.
