Pictures MUST credit: Silent Arrow A long range disposable cargo drone capable of flying 560 km is set to take to the skies. The autonomous aircraft is capable of carrying up to 680 kg and will allow it to take off by itself from basic runways, ships, and other platforms. The plan is for it to supply front line troops in battle zones and help humanitarian and disaster relief organisations in the field. Los Angeles aerospace company Silver Arrow which has been awarded a contract to develop the machine by the USA's Air Force Research Laboratory. The drone, called the Silent Arrow CLS-300, is based on a glider drone from the same company which needs to be deployed from cargo aircraft. The new CLS-300 can travel nearly 10 times as far thanks to an innovative propulsion unit and propeller system that are inexpensive enough to create an aircraft meant for reuse at least a few times. IIt will also be air droppable like the glider. Silent Arrow's founder and CEO Chip Yates said there would be propulsion tests in the first half of 2024 followed by flight tests in the second half. The USA's Air Force Research Laboratory is the primary scientific research and development centre for the development, and integration of affordable combat technologies for the country's air, space and cyberspace force.
