The three different roll- in and roll-out modules allow the X-86 to support troop movement, logistic delivery, and troop support. The X-86T Module allows for the transport of 22 personnel along with 3,500 pounds of personal equipment on a mini-pallet. The X-86C module gives the capability to transport 10,000 pounds of cargo on mini-pallets. The X-86G modules provides gunship capability. It provides two 50 caliber G-386 laser sighted machine guns and requires three additional crew-members. It carries 10,000 rounds of ammunition. The X-86 will be carrier and land based and will be required to operate in extreme weather conditions; both high and low temperatures. It will incorporate next generation EMP, vibration, and stealth protective measures. The X-86T transport module will be developed first, followed by the X-86C, and finally the X-86G modules. All versions of the X-86 helicopter will incorporate the latest command and control capabilities.
