U.S. Marine Corps to Keep K-MAX Unmanned Cargo Re-Supply Helicopter in Theater for Second Deployment Extension

For the second time this year, the U.S. Marine Corps has approved the deployment extension of K-MAX Cargo UAS, the first unmanned helicopter to deliver cargo and resupply troops in a combat zone. By supplying forward operating bases with K-MAX instead of ground convoy or manned aircraft, the Marine Corps has reduced the threat posed to personnel by improvised explosive devices by thousands of hours.

Earlier this year, the Marine Corps requested the aircraft, a joint effort by Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] and Kaman Aerospace [NYSE: KAMN], stay in theater through September 30, the end of this fiscal year. This announcement extends K-MAX service in Afghanistan for an additional six months and includes an option to extend its time through September 2013.
