New Black Hawk Cargo Drone Unveiled

Lockheed Martin has introduced an uncrewed version of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, known as the S-70UAS U-Hawk.

The development, announced on 13 October, transforms a proven military airframe into an uncrewed multi-mission system.

Developed by Sikorsky, the U-Hawk was converted from a UH-60L Black Hawk in under a year, with a new fly-by-wire control system and Sikorsky’s MATRIX autonomy technology.

Rich Benton, Sikorsky vice president and general manager, stated that the design “offers enhanced firepower, protection, and mobility” while remaining affordable and easily replicable at scale.

The result is a platform with 25 percent more cargo capacity than the standard crewed helicopter.
