BEALETON, Va., June 3 (UPI) -- Aurora Flight Sciences recently tested a system that allows traditional helicopters to fly unmanned.
The Autonomous Aerial Cargo/Utility System, a kit that attaches to full-scale rotary-wing aircraft and allows them to fly in and out of austere landing zones with little human assistance, was attached to a Bell 206 helicopter on May 25 and flown around Bealeton, Va., the Pentagon said.
