Silent Arrow said the air force of a U.S.-allied government in the Middle East has conducted the first overseas deployments of the Silent Arrow GD-2000 cargo delivery drone under a $1.5 million operational evaluation contract.
The drone delivered 1,026 pounds of cargo for the unnamed government.
Two C-130s were used in the operation, during which two GD-2000s were rigged in accordance with U.S. military standards for Container Delivery System (CDS) bundles.
“Deployment occurred over a desert environment where Silent Arrow demonstrated completely autonomous flight, autonomous waypoint selection and navigation,” the company said in a news release today.
