Boost for K-Max
Article Abstract:
Kaman Aerospace's BURRO unmanned logistics helicopter idea was endorsed by the United States Marines' Deputy Commandant General Terry Dake. Dake commended the effectiveness of BURRO during unmanned re-supplying operations. The embryo system was also cited as an example of potential unmanned-vehicle developments. Dake's positive comments on the BURRO system came after a contract was announced for an unmanned flight package for the K-M automated artillery delivery and targeting system.

CH-60S trials under way
Article Abstract:
A production version of the multi-role support Sikorsky CH-60S helicopter has been undergoing developmental trials since May 2000, at the US Navy's Pax River center. The aircraft, set to join the US naval fleet in 2001, is described as an 'amalgam' of the SH-60 Seahawk and the UH-60 Black Hawk. The US Navy plans to order 200 of the CH-60S, which is set to undergo OpEval in late 2000, as a replacement for the CH-46D helicopter.

Unmanned helo under test
Article Abstract:
Frontier Systems has developed a 'rigid-in-plane' rotor high-endurance unmanned helicopter. The US Dept of Defense is testing the aircraft which is small but with very controllable features. It is highly efficient as a loiterer and can integrate with local air traffic. The agency is examining a number of extremely small rotorcraft, around eight inches in diameter, which could work below the tree line.
