This is proposed unmanned variant of the UH-72 (H145) for the USMC and Army. It would provide autonomous logistical support for Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations for the USMC and contested airspace for the Army. If the USMC selects it, it could be in operation by the late 2020s.

In aeronautica this could either be an Advanced Customisation option for the H145 or a seperate vehicle. Maybe even a conversion of some sorts.

Some General Inofrmation. (that we know of)

  • Height (ft): 13.04
  • Length (ft): 44.42
  • Cruise Speed (kts): 135
  • MTOW (lbs): 8,378
  • Operating Altitude (ft): Up to 20,000
  • Range (nm): 350+

To be honest, there arent really blueprints for this, i mean its just a h145 with a removed interior and sealed windows.

Jobs it could do. (this is really up to the devs)

  • Transportation
  • Reconaissance maybe
  • It is kind of made for SAR so maybe that
