Two Kaman K-Max Aerial Trucks configured for unmanned operation are being prepared for delivery this summer to meet the urgent resupply requirements of U.S. Marine Corps troops in Afghanistan.

Developed by Kaman Helicopters and Lockheed Martin, the unmanned K-Max is expected to free widely dispersed and overextended aviation personnel and equipment for other demanding missions. Meanwhile, the pilotless K-Max will reduce aircrew vulnerability to hostile action and exposure of supply operations to roadside IED attacks.
