CAPSTONE UAS to Showcase Logistics and CASEVAC Capabilities Under Project MORRIGHANCerto Aerospace Ltd. has been awarded a contract by the UK Ministry of Defence (UK MOD) to demonstrate heavy-lift uncrewed aircraft system (UAS) capabilities. The agreement falls under Phase 2 of the MOD’s Project MORRIGHAN, which is evaluating the use of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAS for logistics and casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) missions. Demonstrating Logistics and CASEVAC OperationsThe trials will showcase Certo’s CAPSTONE VTOL UAS executing pick-up, transit, and drop-off of four distinct logistics and CASEVAC carriage systems developed during Phase 1 of Project MORRIGHAN. Why Coaxial Rotor Design MattersCerto emphasizes the advantages of coaxial rotor design, which eliminates the need for a tail rotor and allows for compact, ship-ready aircraft. The project aims to refine tactics, techniques, and procedures for VTOL UAS operations while building safety evidence to support both Civil Aviation Authority and future Military Aviation Authority permissions.
