RON-1 / QH-50 Gyrodyne DASH
An important step in the development of the Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter for operation from destroyers was taken in April 1958 when an existing Bureau of Aeronautics contract with Gyrodyne for the RON-1 rotocycle (one man helicopter) was amended to provide for the development, installation and flight test of remote control equipment.
The QH-50 Gyrodyne was an small unmanned ASW helicopter, built in 1960. The USN bought more than 300. The Gyrodyne carried two torpedos.
