Global helicopter services operator PHI Aviation has entered into a long-term agreement with Kaman Corporation to use Kaman’s Kargo UAV for commercial operations, the companies announced Tuesday at Heli-Expo in Atlanta. As part of the new partnership, PHI has agreed to purchase 50 Kargo UAVs for its commercial operations.
Connecticut-based Kaman has been developing the Kargo UAV for a little over a year and until now has concentrated on military applications for the aircraft. The company has signed a deal with the U.S. Marine Corps to build and test a prototype for demonstration purposes.
