Moog HE350, Hybrid Electric, Reconfigurable, Autonomous, Flight Vehicle
The Moog HE350 is a hybrid electric powered, multi-rotor, autonomous flight vehicle, replacing manned rotorcraft for those missions deemed too dangerous or where the size and performance of a manned helicopter is simply not required. The inherent cost savings associated with removal of the flight crew, the ability of the vehicle to be directed by an operator as opposed to being flown by a pilot, the sustainment benefit of the simplified subsystems architecture of a hybrid electric vehicle combine to make the HE350, a transformative warfighting machine. The HE350’s Universal Payload Assembly, with standard 14” NATO lugs, transforms the vehicle from gunship, to resupply, to emergency exfiltration with no modification to the airframe structure.
