BLIS-D · CBRN Unmanned Helicopter

Bleed-air-based unmanned helicopter platform delivering 4-mode hybrid hot-dry decontamination.

Overview

BLIS-D is the kinetic platform of UAM Korea Tech's Defense pillar. The bleed-air heat source enables hot-dry decontamination over chemical hazard zones without the logistics burden of liquid decontaminants — the platform that CBRN-CADS publishes hazard zones for, and the platform that the Swiss BOXO3 hybrid chamber rides on for mobility-mounted gas-sterilisation duty.

Capabilities

04 listed
  1. 01

    4-mode hybrid decontamination

    Hot-dry, hot-wet, cold-dry, cold-wet operational modes selected based on hazard category and ambient conditions. Single airframe covers all four.

  2. 02

    Bleed-air heat source

    Engine bleed air provides the hot-side thermal load — no auxiliary heater, no extra fuel burn, no liquid decontaminant supply chain.

  3. 03

    BOXO3 hybrid chamber integration

    40-year Swiss gas-sterilisation source technology adapted for mobility-mounted dual-use deployment. LOI + Buy-back agreement signed with BOX O3 AG.

  4. 04

    Lattice-aware autonomous routing

    Consumes CBRN-CADS hazard-zone control-area entities directly; routes around friendly assets and toward the hazard centroid without operator intervention.

Doctrine
NATO STANAG 2103

Reporting nuclear detonations, biological and chemical attacks

Validation

What is verified.

LOI signed

Letter of Intent + Buy-back agreement with BOX O3 AG (Switzerland) — 40-year gas-sterilisation source technology integration.

Bleed-air

First Korean implementation of bleed-air-based airborne CBRN platform — own-IP filing in progress (KIPRIS).

Deployment

03 contexts
  1. 01

    Forward CBRN response

    Operates ahead of mounted/dismounted forces to clear chemical hazard zones before troop entry.

  2. 02

    Allied joint operations

    STANAG 2103 hazard-zone semantics shared via Lattice; BLIS-D platform appears as a friendly asset to coalition partners on the same catalog.

  3. 03

    Civil-military gas sterilisation (dual-use)

    BOXO3 hybrid chamber mode addresses civilian medical-waste and biological gas-sterilisation duty — the same airframe in a dual-use posture.
