Amentum’s unmanned aerial systems business and TB2 Aerospace, an aeronautical innovation company, are collaborating to bolster the operational capabilities of military UAS.
The strategic partnership aims to utilize TB2’s Drone Recharging Operational Payload System to enhance the autonomous systems, Amentum said Monday.
Amentum, a technical and engineering services company, will ensure the effectiveness of the DROPS technology in military operations by offering extensive training, after-market parts, field support and ongoing system maintenance.
DROPS is an adaptable payload system that works to capture and deliver payloads autonomously. It is designed to integrate with different UAV platforms.
Art Boghozian, director of business development for UAS and counter UAS at Amentum, highlighted the value of the collaboration, saying, “The integration of the DROPS cargo pod and payloads with our existing support infrastructure is a game changer for military operations. This partnership not only enhances the capabilities of UAVs in the field but also ensures that soldiers can easily access supplies without extensive training, allowing them to focus on the mission at hand.”
