Advancing the Safety and Efficiency of Autonomous Technology With SARA, the Sikorsky MATRIX Test Helicopter

For the last five decades, Lockheed Martin has developed unmanned and autonomous systems that improve the safety and efficiency of humanitarian aid, first response and other civil, commercial and military operations.

Recently, engineers in the company’s Sikorsky business helped develop a drop-in, kit-based system that will enable the users of military and commercial helicopters to safely, reliably and affordably operate their aircraft autonomously.

The Sikorsky Autonomy Research Aircraft (SARA) utilizing MATRIX™ Technology is showcasing the aircraft’s improved safety and reliability, particularly in low-visibility areas and difficult-to-navigate airspace.
