Sikorsky unveils Fast Pack system for four Nomad 100 drones in a 20‑foot container

Sikorsky introduced the Fast Pack, a mobile deployment system that houses four Nomad 100 unmanned vertical takeoff and landing aircraft together with control, communication and supply equipment inside a standard 20‑foot container.

In the planned setup, two of the drones can be ready for operation in less than 15 minutes, while the remaining two can be prepared within four to six hours, allowing use from ships, provisional landing sites or military vehicle sites without a runway; the Nomad 100 combines VTOL and hover capability with fixed‑wing characteristics and is intended for reconnaissance, target acquisition, light attack missions and military transport using Sikorsky’s Matrix autonomy system.
