Cummings Aerospace’s Hellhound S3, a turbojet-powered, 3D-printed kamikaze drone that flies faster than 375 mph, completed a demonstration on a U.S. Army test range.
Achieved on Hellhound S3, an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) designed to equip the U.S. Army’s Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCTs) with the same combat power as Armored Brigades, this first flight confirms the S3’s ability to operate in a tactically relevant environment. Hellhound is manportable – all-up round (vehicle, launch canister and ground control system) weighs less than 25 pounds, allowing single-soldier deployment and enhancing Infantry mobility.
