Singapore’s Defense Science and Technology Authority (DSTA) has signed an agreement with Airbus Helicopters to test the interaction of manned and unmanned systems in the field.
The focus is on the H225M transport helicopter from Singapore in combination with the Flexrotor unmanned aerial system from Airbus Helicopters. The aim of the collaboration is to conduct a demonstration flight to investigate how teaming between manned and unmanned platforms can improve situational awareness and make missions more effective.
