Singapore’s Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) has signed an agreement with Airbus Helicopters on crewed-uncrewed teaming capabilities with the H-225M Medium Lift helicopter operated by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) and Airbus Helicopters’ Flexrotor Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS). The partnership aims to explore how crewed-uncrewed teaming can enhance situational awareness and improve mission outcomes through a flight demonstration.

Airbus' brand new crewed-uncrewed teaming system, HTeaming, will be integrated on board the RSAF’s H-225M, allowing its crew to take full control of the Flexrotor. The operational demonstration will be set up to show the efficiency of Airbus’ teaming solution and the added value of cooperation between crewed helicopters and uncrewed aerial systems. 

The company recently unveiled HTeaming, a modular crewed-uncrewed teaming system; it currently features a modem, four antennas, a tablet and software.
