First validated for the US Army in 2010 the K-MAX has lifted over 3.5 million pounds whilst on missions in Afghanistan - equivalent to 300 7-tonne trucks, 300 security vehicles and 30,000 man-hours. The innovation has been with the intermeshing main rotor blades and absence of a tail rotor, providing a 1:1 lift ratio. With a robust unmanned control system the K-MAX is able to deliver to a GPS waypoint to drop loads and has a 'hot hookup' for collection and can be fully integrated across all military assets, with obvious applications for fire fighting and humanitarian aid missions. The K-MAX is being designed to operate with an agnostic capability and on an agnostic platform, using 3D topography for autonomous landing point selection, static and dynamic (moving) obstacle avoidance and Drop Zone selection. Imagery is sent via Ka and Ku bands via BLOS with the unique capability to transmit HD video through the rotors allowing the Antenna to be beneath the rotors. With a USD$1,400 per hour to fly and a near matching maintenance, man-hour per flight ratio of 1:3 the cost and safety advantages of the K-MAX are impressive.
