The system also features redundant lift motors and avionics with reliable propulsion and an onboard engine restart for automatic damage tolerance. It is capable of handling heavy payloads with the ability to simultaneously carry up to 50 pounds of cargo, including an ISR or sensor payload option. The Voly-T’s turnkey intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) system also supports the increased demand for immediate situational awareness on the battlefield – providing commanders with a dedicated, rapidly-taskable UAV to see, track and understand critical elements of the battlespace and support.īuilt for endurance, the Voly-T provides the redundancy and durability required to complete the mission. The company’s VTOL solution has a small operational footprint and can easily maneuver difficult terrain and contested spaces for tactical resupply missions. “We are proud to continue partnering with the Army on this important effort in support of the warfighter.” “SNC is committed to delivering a future unmanned system with the payload, range and endurance that our military needs,” said Tim Owings executive vice president of SNC’s Mission Solutions and Technologies (MST) business area. The Voly-T offers a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) solution to address the program’s need for a rapidly deployable, runway-independent, unmanned, reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition system. Army selects Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) to provide its Voly-T unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for the Future Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (FTUAS) Increment 2 program.
