According to the report, Sikorsky is all set to install its ALIAS/MATRIX flight autonomy system on the US Army’s experimental fly-by-wire UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter.
The report stated that the upgrade will allow the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) to test and evaluate autonomous capabilities, ranging from single-pilot operation to fully unmanned flight.
Sikorsky vice president and general manager Rich Benton said that autonomy-enabled aircraft will reduce pilot workload, dramatically improve flight safety, and give battle commanders the flexibility to perform complex missions in contested and congested battlespace, day or night, in all weather conditions.
The report added that the soldiers will rely on Black Hawk helicopters into the 2070s, and modernizing the aircraft today will pay dividends for decades across Army Aviation’s current and future aircraft.
Additionally, Lockheed Martin's subsidiary explained that the aircraft will enable DEVCOM to explore and mature the practical applications and potential concept of operations of a scalable autonomy system.
