UK Royal Navy Completes World-First Airdrop of Unmanned Surface Vessel from Military Transport Aircraft
The UK Royal Navy, under Project Beehive, has achieved a world first by airdropping an unmanned surface vessel (USV) from a military transport aircraft using an extracted-load delivery method. Conducted by Kraken Technology Group and Capewell, the trial deployed the Kraken K3 SCOUT autonomous craft from an Airbus A400M at approximately 1,300 feet. The Royal Navy has ordered 20 K3 SCOUT vessels under a contract worth approximately $16.5 million.
