Pyka's DropShip Unlocks Fully Autonomous Low-Altitude Airdrop Capability for Military Logistics

New capability enables same-day autonomous delivery of critical supplies across 2,000 mile radius for U.S. and allied forces

ALAMEDA, Calif., June 11, 2026 — Pyka today unveiled its fully autonomous low-altitude parachute airdrop capability for DropShip, the company's flagship heavy-lift autonomous aircraft designed for contested logistics and multi-mission operations.

The capability was validated during a recent demonstration flight in which DropShip autonomously delivered multiple 200-pound payloads from an altitude of 300 feet, landing within 50 feet of the intended target location. Pyka will continue expanding the capability's operational envelope through a series of subsequent test flights.
