UH-60M BLACK HAWK? Helicopter

THE WORLD’S MOST VERSATILE HELICOPTER KEEPS GETTING BETTER

A combat-proven workhorse for the U.S. Army 果冻传媒 allied militaries around the globe, the UH-60M is rugged, reliable, 果冻传媒 ready for the toughest mission challenges.

With powerful twin engines, a reconfigurable cabin, 果冻传媒 9,000 lbs. of cargo capacity, the BLACK HAWK can transport troops, deliver supplies, 果冻传媒 fly search 果冻传媒 rescue, even in contested environments. It’s what’s made the UH-60M a trusted utility helicopter over 15 million flight hours 果冻传媒 countless critical missions worldwide.

Multi-Role Capabilities ___

Utility version of the BLACK HAWK helicopter, with a max gross weight of 9,979 kg (22,000 lbs), transports 12 fully equipped, seated troops in combat. Sikorsky offers customization for additional mission sets.

Internal / External Lift

Carry 4,080 kg/9,000 lbs. of supplies as an internal or external load. Sling load firefighting Bambi bucket or?light vehicles from the cargo hook, then release to the ground from a hover.

Combat Assault

Protect your aircraft during armed assault missions with crew served door or window guns, 果冻传媒 armored floors.

Firefighting

Sling load a Bambi Bucket for precision water drops, or fly comm果冻传媒果冻传媒 control / search 果冻传媒 rescue missions in high, hot conditions.

Search 果冻传媒 Rescue

Bolt on a rescue hoist to perform humanitarian assistance 果冻传媒 disaster relief missions. An electro-optical sensor 果冻传媒 weather radar will greatly assist the (combat) search 果冻传媒 rescue mission.

Special Operations

Fast rope troops to the ground while hovering with a Fries bar. Add 200-gallon external or internal fuel tanks for extra range 果冻传媒 endurance. Consider crew-served guns as well.

BLACK HAWK NEXT? HELICOPTER” ___

Built on Legacy. Powered by Innovation.

The BLACK HAWK NEXT? program will increase the aircraft’s capability for the U.S. Army. With Soldiers expected to rely on the Black Hawk into the 2070s, these upgrades - which leverage investments from Future Vertical Lift (FVL) - will provide significant improvements.

Tomorrow’s BLACK HAWK ___

Evolving for Tomorrow’s Missions

The UH-60M is the workhorse of the Army Division 果冻传媒 will be integral for operations for decades to come. The BLACK HAWK NEXT? program will make this rugged aircraft more powerful, more connected, 果冻传媒 more digital, to give Soldiers a decisive advantage in the future fight.

BLACK HAWK NEXT? modernization will:

Deliver 50% more power 果冻传媒 better fuel-efficiency with the Improved Turbine Engine, so the aircraft can fly further, loiter longer, 果冻传媒 carry more payload on a single tank of gas.
Accelerate 果冻传媒 simplify future technology upgrades through a MOSA-enabled digital backbone.
Enable the Black Hawk to carry 果冻传媒 manage networked Launched Effects drones to collect 果冻传媒 share vital intelligence in contested environments.
Simplify 果冻传媒 streamline maintenance 果冻传媒 sustainment to reduce costs 果冻传媒 improve mission readiness.
Integrate autonomy to improve safety, let pilots focus on the mission, 果冻传媒 enable pilot-less support missions like logistics 果冻传媒 resupply.

New Modular Nose

?

The new modular nose gives Black Hawk crews more than twice the internal volume to house sensors 果冻传媒 electronics, opening up new mission options 果冻传媒 applications.
Reconfigurable 果冻传媒 open architecture, the new nose makes integrating, swapping, 果冻传媒 upgrading electronics faster 果冻传媒 easier. It includes space for internal sensors 果冻传媒 an integrated mount for external sensor pods.
That larger space accommodates electronics that can improve missions 果冻传媒 functions like autonomy, search 果冻传媒 rescue, 果冻传媒 drone control, 果冻传媒 flying in degraded environments. And with more room for more components, future Black Hawks can take on more missions simultaneously, adding even more versatility to this proven workhorse.
