Experimental UH-60MX Advances Optionally Piloted Rotorcraft Development

Sikorsky has delivered an experimental UH-60MX Black Hawk helicopter equipped with its MATRIX autonomy suite to the US Army, as the service advances work on optionally piloted and autonomous rotorcraft. The aircraft will be used by the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command as a testbed to assess autonomy concepts and human-machine teaming. The UH-60MX program builds on work funded by DARPA and is part of the US Army’s wider effort to modernize the Black Hawk fleet, as reported by AeroTime.
