Rotorcraft Auto External Load Lift

AOS demonstrated the first autonomous sling-load cargo pick-up and delivery using a customer's Unmanned Aerial System (UAS).

With AOS's system, customers can find loads, even in brownout, pick it up automatically without needing people in the dangerous zone directly beneath the helicopter, and deliver it to a precise location.

Our optical and radio frequency sensors are compatible with a wide range of flight computers and communications protocols, and our automatic cargo hooks can support 1,000 pounds.
