Forward loading and additional useable cabin space of the U-Hawk aircraft now offers the flexibility to accommodate oversized loads up to the same maximum gross weight.
A tablet gives an operator full command of the U-Hawk aircraft from start-up to shut down.
At the touch of a button, the two clamshell doors open and a ramp lowers to allow easy cargo loading or drive-on capability. To prepare for flight, the automated sequence is reversed.
Once loaded, an operator inputs mission goals via the tablet. The MATRIX autonomy system automatically generates a flight plan, relying on cameras, sensors and algorithms to help navigate the U-Hawk aircraft safely to its destination.
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.
Bring more launched effects to the fight
Using an innovative new Quiver launching system, U-Hawk can seed the zone with massed launched effects. That gives ground commanders eyes and ears in the sky, and enables kinetic and non-kinetic strike.
Deliver more to contested areas – on demand With 25% more cargo volume and actuated clamshell doors / cargo ramp, U-Hawk can carry a HIMARS rocket pod, unmanned ground vehicles, or up to 10,000 pounds of supplies.
Put ground forces in control
Proven MATRIX™ autonomy on board means virtually any operator can command U-Hawk remotely, tasking it with destinations and mission goals through a few taps on a tablet interface.

- I like that these ads from Lockheed are starting to target me as if i'm the target customer base.- I guess the youtube algorithm knows about my childhood obsession with cargo ramps
- I can't even imagine how the engineers of the original Blackhawk must think seeing their design go well into the 21st century, really awesome
- A strategic leap for rotary-wing logistics. Full autonomy and expanded payload capacity, well played. This is a well-earned evolution for the Black Hawk line.
