Sikorsky's Unmanned U-HAWK Helicopter
Sikorsky's newest helicopter is an unmanned version of its UH-60L Black Hawk, stripped of its cockpit to carry more cargo and keep aircrew out of harm's way.
The U-HAWK is essentially a UH-60L minus the cockpit, replaced by clamshell doors and a ramp, and utilizes the company's MATRIX autonomous technology.
Company officials hope the U.S. and other militaries see the remotely piloted U-HAWK as a useful new variant of the venerable airframe.
The U-HAWK enables a ground operator to fly the aircraft with a tablet, freeing up aircrew and allowing for more cargo to be carried.
