BAE Systems’ FalconWorks® serves as a hub for cutting-edge research and technology advancement in the aviation sector. A primary focus of FalconWorks® is to expedite the creation of a suite of uncrewed platforms that cater to diverse capability needs for both civilian and military applications.
As a dedicated collaborator, UST is excited to highlight their innovative solutions and expertise through the BAE Systems FalconWorks supplier profile.The Platinum profile features malloy Aeronautics, a BAE Systems subsidiary renowned for developing the moast sophisticated fleet of all-electric heavy-lift VTOL logistics drones, suitable for both civil and military uses.
The T-Series, crafted by Malloy Aeronautics, comprises all-electric heavy-lift uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) that provide swift response solutions across various applications. With minimal training requirements and low operational and maintenance expenses, these systems present a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to conventional methods.
With impressive payload capacities ranging from 68kg (T-150) to 300kg (T-650), the T-Series opens doors to innovative and transformative mission types. Its runway independence and compact design enable the T-Series to adapt to numerous scenarios, including logistics, weapon deployment, and casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), nonetheless of environmental conditions.
The T-150 UAS, capable of reliably lifting 68kg in any weather, stands out as a dependable asset. Featuring a removable battery, the T-150 is designed for immediate deployment, eliminating long wait times for recharging and enhancing cargo delivery efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Engineered to transport time-sensitive and high-value cargo, the T-150 UAS is built for the most challenging military environments, having been operationally tested in extreme conditions such as the Arctic, deserts, and maritime settings.
Recognized globally as a premier logistics drone, the T-150 is a top-tier all-electric UAS that exemplifies operational excellence.
The T-650, a conceptual UAS, boasts an industry-leading payload capacity of 300kg, paving the way for new and innovative mission possibilities.
This vehicle is designed for rapid reconfiguration,allowing it to transition seamlessly between different mission types. It aims to deliver the versatility and functionality that customers require to perform multiple roles efficiently and sustainably, providing a modern alternative to traditional delivery systems.
The T-650 is expected to feature an open system architecture, facilitating the integration of third-party systems and offering a pathway for future upgrades in mission and payload capabilities.
Potential applications for the T-650 are vast,ranging from logistics operations like ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore transport to the potential deployment of weapons and sensors to support military missions on land and at sea. Once validated, this electric aerial vehicle could also extend its use to casualty evacuation in combat zones.
Significant progress is being made in the progress of the T-650,with active trials currently underway on Malloy Aeronautics’ testbed platform,the T-600.
