Sikorsky Aircraft, a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, unveiled one of the most significant transformations in military rotorcraft history — the conversion of the UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter into a fully autonomous, pilotless platform known as the S-70UAS U-Hawk.
The project marks a dramatic shift from traditional crewed helicopters to large, uncrewed aerial systems capable of executing complex missions without direct human intervention.
The U-Hawk combines decades of proven Black Hawk reliability with cutting-edge autonomy and fly-by-wire technology, positioning it as a major step toward unmanned battlefield logistics and support operations.
