The SkyCat provides the ideal vehicle for emergency operations, disaster relief and humanitarian aid. With only minor interior modifications, the same vehicle can be deployed interchangeably in the full range of relief missions, from combatting natural disasters to the control of bush and forest wildfires.

Direct into disaster area: with its ability to land on unprepared terrain, water included, the SkyCat can land directly in the affected zone in any natural disaster, whether caused by flood or famine, earthquake or hurricane.

Direct to those in need: food, medicine, shelter and equipment can be taken directly to those in need, where they need it, without loss through damage or pilfering, and preventing the victims from leaving their land in search of food and help.

Low cost: the SkyCat-20 can do the job of eight MI8 helicopters at 10% of the effective cost. For regular supply operations, it out-performs aircraft such as the twin Otter and the Buffalo by a factor of 3 to 4. The larger SkyCat-220 can deliver its cargo at a lower cost than heavy-lift aircraft (e.g. the C-130 transporter) and, at under $0.20 per ton/km, is cost-comparable with overland bush trucks – while, of course, carrying more payload, faster and with far less infrastructural and environmental damage.

Endorsement: the unique advantages of the SkyCat vehicle, and the SkyCat-220 in particular, have been endorsed by the U.N. World Food Programme, the world’s largest aid logistics agency, as the optimum relief vehicle in their theatres of operation.
