The objectives of this study program were to establish the system requirements, to develop conceptual designs, and to analyze the feasibility of various system designs for cargo helicopters to acquire external loads without the need for manual attachment of the load to the helicopters in a loading operation. Current technology for handling external helicopter loads were reviewed. Applicable cargo handling technology in commercial and maritime operation was also surveyed. The characteristics of helicopter external loads and lifting provisions were analysed. Army air transportability requirements were established for helicopters to identify technical and operational system design requirements for automatic load acquisition. Various conceptual system designs were formulated and system feasibility analyses were conducted.
