Sikorsky presented the NOMAD 100 Fast Pack, a VTOL drone system packaged in a 20‑foot ISO container that holds four NOMAD 100 drones, mission‑control software, communications, power supply and sustainment equipment.
Two of the drones can be ready to operate in less than 15 minutes, while the remaining two can be incorporated between four and six hours; the system is intended for deployment from ships, tactical vehicles or improvised landing zones and is designed for ISR‑T, light attack and logistics missions in contested environments, using a rotor‑blown wing architecture and Sikorsky’s MATRIX autonomy technology, with initial ground and flight tests completed in July 2026 under DARPA’s EVADE program.
