#AnimalDynamics selected to participate in next phase of the RN's Uncrewed Aerial Systems Heavy Lift Challenge (UASHLC) with its Stork STM parafoil UAV.

Can carry 135kg payloads over 400km. Has secure satellite coms and can be fitted with a sonobuoy dispenser.

Obviously limited by conditions but cheap, low risk alternative to sending a helicopter - primarily for logistics missions that may not be so time-critical
