A90 Autonomous

In 2019, Dynamic Aviation, in collaboration with Merlin Labs, began the development and conversion of a King Air A90 into an optionally piloted aircraft that could be utilized for a variety of missions including Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, maritime patrol, search and rescue, as well as resupply of forward-deployed soldiers. Merlin’s platform enables traditionally manned aircraft to fly autonomously without an onboard human pilot. This enables Dynamic Aviation to utilize its available fleet of King Air A90s to perform useful autonomous missions nearly anywhere in the world.
