Introduction of the S-70UAS U-Hawk
Lockheed Martin has introduced the S-70UAS U-Hawk, an uncrewed version of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter.
The development of the U-Hawk, announced on October 13, marks a significant step in transforming a proven military airframe into an uncrewed multi-mission system.
Development and Features
The U-Hawk was developed by Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, and was converted from a UH-60L Black Hawk in under a year.
- Engineers removed the cockpit and crew stations.
- A new fly-by-wire control system was installed, integrated with Sikorsky’s MATRIX autonomy technology.
This results in a platform with 25 percent more cargo capacity than the standard crewed helicopter.
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.
