The American defence company produces the V-BAT vertical-takeoff and landing, AI-based uncrewed aerial system for military, border protection, law enforcement, search and rescue, climate surveillance and disaster management operations.
The remotely piloted aircraft system, which can carry a 25-kilogram underslung payload with a maximum 40-minute flight time and a maximum 15-kilometre operating range, was tested as a possible delivery system for the Royal Australian Navy to receive crucial stores without having to launch a helicopter or off-task personnel.
Defence has confirmed initial tests were recently completed on the first remotely piloted aircraft system, based at RAAF Base Tindal, and that the second and third aircraft arrived at the facility in May this year.
Captain Jonathan Hogan, Major Matthew Stubbs and Captain Alexander Paranthoiene – former Tiger Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter pilots – are leading the transition of the Australian Army from the Airbus ARH Tiger to the Boeing AH-64E “Guardian” Apache attack helicopters.
The possible sale includes equipment and services to support maintenance of its MC-55A aircraft fleet, such as major and minor modifications, spare parts, US government and contractor engineering, logistics support services, consumables and accessories as well as repair and return support.
