Lockheed Martin launches Nomad family of long-endurance runaway independent drones

Lockheed Martin has launched Nomad family of long-endurance, runway-independent drones.

The twin proprotor design combines the versatility of a helicopter with the speed and range of a fixed-wing airplane.

A Nomad aircraft can take off, hover, and land vertically, plus cruise on the wing for extended periods.

Nomads are operated via Sikorsky’s MATRIX autonomy technology and predominantly use hybrid-electric propulsion.

It enables aircraft to take off, hover and land vertically while cruising on the wing for extended periods.

Nomad UAS are designed for reconnaissance, light attack, contested logistics and more.
