Lockheed Martin and Kaman Aerospace have successfully conducted a five-day quick reaction assessment (QRA) of the US Navy’s K-MAX cargo unmanned aircraft system (UAS).

Lockheed Martin Mission Systems & Sensors, director of airborne systems, Roger Il Grande, said that the K-MAX cargo UAS is designed to resupply the US Marine Corps (USMC) in theatre and in distant regions.

“Through various scenarios during QRA, the unmanned K-MAX UAS performed extremely well, exceeding the cargo delivery objectives of the assessment,” he added.

In July 2011, the K-MAX cargo UAS successfully completed electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) testing.
