The MMIST CQ-10A SnowGoose is a cargo delivery unmanned aerial vehicle that has
reached IOC (Initial Operational Capability) with the United States Armed Forces
with the delivery of 15 vehicles. The SnowGoose UAV is produced by the Canadian
company Mist Mobility Integrated Systems Technology (MMIST). The SnowGoose UAV
is an application of MMIST's Sherpa autonomous GPS-guided parafoil delivery
system and is intended for pin-point delivery of small cargo items (ammunition,
supplies) to special forces. A fully loaded Snowgoose can carry a total of 600
lb. The SnowGoose was originally designed for leaflet dispensing, but can
support a variety of missions with its six modular cargo bays, each of which can
carry pods for fuel (trading payload for range), cargo, or electronics (sensor
or broadcasting) packages.

The CQ10A uses a parafoil for lift; the CQ10B uses an autogyro rotor for lift.
The "B" version has twice the range of the "A" version. According to the
manufacturer, the CQ10B can carry 1088 kg (2400 lb) up to 150 km (93 mi) from a
central base per day (24 h), placing the loads within 30 m (100 ft) of a
predesignated point then performing near-vertical take-offs.
