"Sierra Nevada Corporation’s Dream Chaser full-scale engineering test article has been readied for shipment to NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California for phase two of the flight test campaign that will be conducted later in 2016 in coordination with Edwards Air Force Base. Dream Chaser program upgrades and initial hardware testing were completed at the Louisville, Colorado spacecraft assembly facility, and within the next several weeks, the same Dream Chaser vehicle that conducted the company’s flight test in 2013 will arrive at Armstrong. SNC and Armstrong will begin a series of pre-flight ground evaluations to verify and validate the vehicle’s system and subsystem designs. After successful completion of all ground testing, Dream Chaser will begin its phase two free-flight test. These activities are being conducted through the company’s Commercial Crew Integrated Capabilities Space Act Agreement with NASA’s Commercial Crew Program."

Sierra Nevada takes over Voly's Volansi military UAV series

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 11/10/2022 - 07:54 in Military, UAV - UAV

Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) has announced that it has acquired the portfolio of assets and intellectual property related to the Voly-50 and Voly-T series of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) developed by the company Volansi.

With the acquisition, SNC intends to improve its offer of multifunction platform, long distance, takeoff and vertical landing (VTOL), especially in the field of intelligence, surveillance and recognition (ISR).

With the closing of the deal, SNC also acquired Volansi's production unit in Bend, Oregon, and retained key personnel.

The Voly-50 and Voly-T series of infrastructure-independent aerial drones can take off and land vertically, taking advantage of the sky for unlimited possibilities and infinite connections.

SNC plans to integrate Voly UAVs with its open architecture systems and ISR resources to offer a fast-demplementation unmanned VTOL ISR solution for multi-domain operations. The company says that UAVs are built for resistance, with the ability to handle heavy loads, while a ready-to-use ISR system would give users the ability to see, track and understand the battle space more completely.

According to Volansi, the Voly-50 has the ability to simultaneously carry up to 50 pounds of cargo, including a sensor payload or ISR option. Depending on the payload settings, the UAV has a range of more than 500 km and can navigate up to 80 knots for up to eleven hours in a single mission set.

Revealing the UAV earlier this year, Volansi said it planned that the Voly-50 would be in low-rate production in 2023.

“Suns is committed to providing a future unmanned system with the payload, range and resistance our military needs,” said Tim Owings, executive vice president of SNC’s Mission Solutions and Technologies (MST) business area. "Adding Volansi's resources to SNC's existing portfolio was a perfect fit. Our complementary technologies will create a world where mission-adapted VTOL drones will make it possible to support any sector, deliver anything, anywhere, anytime."

SNC also plans to leverage the experience of its subsidiary, Kutta Technologies Inc., which will contribute to the redundancy and durability necessary to complete the missions of the Department of Defense, ensuring compliance with DO-178 and adherence to interoperability standards.

"S SNC wanted to keep the dream alive, realizing the ability to support humanitarian aid and ISR missions, reaching places that were previously inaccessible to deliver survival kits, blankets, food and water," said Josh Walsh, vice president of programs for the MST business area of SNC. "Volansi systems are unique because they offer the military a new generation of flexible UAVs that provide long-haul aircraft with superior flight range, flexible payload capacity and ability to fly beyond the visual range."
