Universal Heavy-lift UAV Carriage System

The UK Ministry of Defence is procuring a **Universal Heavy-lift UAV Carriage System** under Project MORRIGHAN, a platform-agnostic system for attaching and detaching payloads (150-200kg capacity) to heavy-lift UAVs and ground vehicles to transport logistics, equipment, medical materiel, and potentially casualties in extremis. This supports rapid resupply to frontlines, ship-to-shore delivery, and casualty evacuation in contested land, littoral, and sea environments, enhancing military logistics sustainability amid modern high-intensity conflicts. The contract involves developing working prototypes, building on prior DASA-funded innovations by firms like ISS Aerospace.
