Airbus Presents HTeaming: A Versatile Crewed-Uncrewed Collaboration System
'@TheInformedObserver #HTeamingUnveiled - Buckle up, folks! 🚀
Airbus Helicopters has just dropped some serious news ahead of the Paris Air Show - HTeaming, their fresh, modular crewed-uncrewed teaming solution! This bad boy is set to revolutionize helicopter missions by giving crews control over Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS) on the fly.
Think of HTeaming as the ultimate party pack – a versatile suite of systems that can standalone or slide smoothly into a mission system. At the Air Show, Airbus will put the standalone version on display, featuring a user-friendly tablet and software magic to manage the UAS, a fancy modem, and four antennas that headquarters will need installed on the helicopter. This bad boy is designed for easy operation by your standard helicopter crew, with a reduced workload. Best part? New features and functions will be added like candy on Halloween!
HTeaming has already aced a few test fights, including a May 2025 dance-off between a Spanish Navy H135 helicopter and an Airbus Flexrotor UAS. More test fights with other platforms are in the pipeline for the coming months.
Victor Gerin Roze, Head of UAS at Airbus Helicopters, had this to say: "We're leveraging our experience as both a helicopter and UAS manufacturer and our expertise as system integrators to offer a flexible, play-nice-with-everyone system." He added, "HTeaming will be up for grabs for helicopter operators starting 2026."
Why's this so important? UAS can act like super-powered sidekicks for helicopters, boosting their ability to perform missions better and safer. With HTeaming, crews will be able to tap into the sensors and abilities of uncrewed systems, taking their missions to the next level.
Airbus has been hitting the books on crewed-uncrewed teaming for a few years now. Flight tests on H135, H145, and H130 helicopters with various UAS have paved the way for the launch of HTeaming [1][2]. While more information on upcoming trials isn't spilling just yet, we can expect some exciting collaborations between different platforms in the near future!
Stay tuned for more updates on HTeaming and other sky-high innovations from Airbus Helicopters! 🚀🚀🚀 #PAS25 #HTeaming #CrewedUncrewedTeaming'
