Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR)awarded Airbus U.S. Space & Defense a Phase I Other Transactional Authority Agreement, through Naval Aviation Systems Consortium, in support of the United States Marine Corps Aerial Logistics Connector.
The award is part of a Middle Tier of Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Prototyping Program which aims to provide the USMC with prototypes to demonstrate the aircrafts capabilities to the warfighter through a series of operationally experiments.
The Airbus U.S. UH-72 Unmanned Logistics Connector, a variant of the proven Lakota platform, is intended to provide logistical support during expeditionary operations within contested environments.
“Our unmanned UH-72 logistics connector leverages nearly two decades of U.S. military capability and offers Marines a versatile, affordable and enduring solution to address logistics missions around the globe," said Rob Geckle, Chairman and CEO of Airbus U.S. Space & Defense. "We look forward to supporting the Marine Corps with this latest modernization of the Lakota platform.”

As a pilot of the H145, The standard SAS and Helionix systems are more than capable of autonomous flight. It's great to see the tech mature but it's also sad that we are getting closer to being locked out of the cockpit.
