S-70UAS™ U-Hawk™ Fully Autonomous Helicopter

It’s the BLACK HAWK® like you’ve never seen it before.


The S-70UAS U-Hawk is a fully autonomous helicopter that trades a cockpit for 25% more cargo space and transformational new capabilities for the ground commander.

Whether flying solo, or with other U-Hawks, or as a team with piloted Black Hawks, the U-Hawk gives ground forces a decisive edge in any environment.

From concept to reality in just 10 months, the U-Hawk is on a rapid development schedule and on track for first flight in 2026.
