The USA FARA RFP does not limit aircraft dimensions or stipulate deployment criteria, probably on purpose to avoid disqualifying particular designs. The UTTAS specifications stated that 2 aircraft were required to fit inside an USAF C-130. However, how often has that been done? To this day the H-60 design lives with the consequences. Self-deployment is always an option.
