The Sikorsky Nomad is a U.S. family of twin-proprotor vertical-takeoff-and-landing uncrewed aircraft developed by Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, for runway-independent operations. Lockheed Martin says the design uses MATRIX autonomy, scales from a Group 3 UAS toward Group 4/5 sizes, and is intended for reconnaissance, light attack, contested logistics, and sea- or land-based missions.
Exact model: Sikorsky Nomad family of runway-independent rotor-blown-wing drones. It was introduced as a new UAS family; I found no confirmed combat use.
Timeline
Sikorsky said it had completed successful extended flight tests of its 10.3-foot-wingspan Nomad 50 prototype before the family reveal later in 2025.
