The CQ-10 Snowgoose is an uncrewed aerial system (UAS) primarily designed for tactical cargo delivery. Manufactured by MMIST, the Snowgoose is capable of delivering supplies with high accuracy. Typical cargo for this system includes essential provisions like Meals Ready-to-Eat (MRE). It can be launched from various vehicles, including ground-based transport and larger military cargo planes such as the Lockheed C-130 Hercules.
MMIST, the Canadian manufacturer, developed the CQ-10 system with the goal of providing reliable resupply capabilities for specialized military operations. The aircraft made its first flight in April 2001. Initial Operational Capability (IOC) was achieved by January 2005, following which the system began serving its primary user, the United States Special Operations Command.
Access solutions aid in performing maintenance and inspection across the aircraft. Platforms and stands, such as Reach Deck Platforms, Modular Stepover Platforms, Ultraraise, and Super Service Stands, are designed to facilitate access to crucial sections. These products support detailed work on the Nose Section (Radome, Antenna, Nose Avionics, Windshield & Cockpit, Bulkhead) and the Forward Fuselage (Main Entry Door, Cargo/Baggage, Forward Wheel Well Access). The Cantilever Platform and Bridge Deck are ideal for reaching the Middle Fuselage/Wing Box Area (Wing Box, Fuel Tanks, Oil Maintenance) and the Wing & Engine Pylon (Pylon, Engine, Hydraulics, Fuel Tanks/Pumps). Elevated platforms and ladders support access for the AFT Fuselage (AFT Bulkhead, APU Compartments) and the Tail Section (Vertical Stabiliser, Horizontal Stabiliser, Rudder).
