RESPONSIVE UNCREWED CAPABILITY
Optionally Piloted Black Hawk UH-60L: UAS For Contested Logistics
CONTESTED FORCES MUST MOVE LARGE CARGO LOADS
but crewed sorties expose personnel to threats. Small UAS cannot carry many mission-critical loads, while developing a new aircraft with comparable payload and utility requires substantial time, investment, and qualification effort.
PILOTED BY
RUC-60 is an optionally piloted UH-60L Black Hawk aircraft for high-capacity contested logistics. Piloted by Captain to execute cargo missions without requiring aircrew onboard.
THE HIGH-CAPACITY CONTESTED LOGISTICS SOLUTION
BENEFITS & FEATURES
Designed to increase sustainment, expand reach, and minimize risk
HIGH CAPACITY
SAFE
VERSATILE
ADAPTABLE
Move mission-scale cargo, with target capacity up to 5,000 pounds per load and 90,000 pounds per day, from the payload, cabin volume, and utility of the UH-60L.
Keep aircrews out of threatened flights: Onboard mission, vehicle, and contingency management supports execution without an onboard or remote pilot and without dependence on a continuous data link.
Support operations in low-level, degraded, and unprepared environments: the target configuration includes terrain and obstacle avoidance, landing-zone evaluation, assured positioning, navigation, and timing, and degraded visual environment capabilities.
Preserve operational and upgrade flexibility: Crewed, optionally piloted, and uncrewed modes are combined with modular interfaces for sensors, communications, computers, algorithms, and mission systems.
UH-60L
A POWERFUL COMBINATION
Supports reduced-crew and uncrewed logistics missions for commercial and defense customers
RUC-60 combines Black Hawk payload and utility with autonomous mission execution and crewed, optionally piloted, or uncrewed operation.
MODULAR, SAFETY-CRITICAL ARCHITECTURE
Converting UH-60L aircraft avoids the scope, cost, and delays of developing a clean-sheet aircraft.
A READY SOLUTION
OVER A DECADE OF AUTONOMOUS HELICOPTER DEVELOPMENT
Experience proven by 11,000+ autonomous flights and integrations across 60+ aircraft types, including rotorcraft from Airbus, Bell, Boeing, Kaman, Leonardo, and Sikorsky.
