Onyx Ultra Light (Onyx UL) is a low-cost, fully autonomous, precision airdrop system for delivering payloads ranging from 200 to 700* pounds.
The system is designed by former USMC military riggers for use and deployment by military riggers and operatives.
Using Onyx UL, critical supplies and equipment can be reliably and safely guided to a programmed Point of Impact (PI), accurate within 150 meters CEP, and usually within 50 meters. Onyx UL is a highly effective HAHO team insertion tool for delivering the team’s mission-critical supplies.
Onyx UL provides military planners with the capability to strategically and covertly position equipment and supplies for small units of rapidly moving ground and special operations forces deployed across a large Area of Operations (AO).
