U.S. military researchers are considering asking industry to develop heavy-lift uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) able to fly loads equal to that of a fully loaded 747 cargo jet or loaded 18-wheel commercial freight truck.


Officials of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in Arlington, Va., issued a request for information (DARPA-SN-24-109) in September for the Cost Efficient Cargo project to develop heavy-lift UAVs able to lift 35-ton payloads using commercial off the shelf (COTS) engines and drive train technology. 35 tons weighs 70,000 pounds.


Armed forces must move troops, vehicles, and supplies from naval vessels to beachheads, and then across terrain and obstacles; any delays can expose forces to enemy fire and hinder establishing secure footholds.

The panel referred the matter to the president for “appropriate action, up to and including removal.”
