Sikorsky unveiled the NOMAD 100 Fast Pack, a VTOL drone system packaged in a 20‑foot ISO container that includes four NOMAD 100 aircraft, mission command software, communications, power supply and sustainment equipment.
Two of the NOMAD 100s can be ready to operate in less than 15 minutes, while the remaining two can be added within four to six hours, and the system is intended for use from ships, tactical vehicle launch positions and improvised landing zones for ISR‑T, light attack and logistics missions in contested environments.
The aircraft use a rotor‑blown wing architecture and are equipped with Sikorsky's MATRIX autonomy technology, allowing operators to assign tasks while the drones plan and execute actions autonomously, and the initial ground and flight test phase was completed in July 2026 under DARPA's EVADE program.
