Sikorsky has converted a UH-60L Black Hawk into the U-Hawk, a fully autonomous cargo drone capable of long-range missions without a crew.
The S-70UAS U-Hawk is a fully autonomous variant of the UH-60 Black Hawk, designed to operate as a heavy-lift cargo drone. It was developed in just ten months and features a transformed cockpit with actuated clamshell doors and a loading ramp.
