Army receives a new Black Hawk helicopter, pilot optional
The US Army has acquired a modified helicopter. This new aircraft can operate with or without a pilot on board. It has been designed to be flexible in its operation.
The development of this helicopter involved collaboration between the Army, a research agency, and a manufacturer. A key feature of the helicopter is a system that allows it to switch between different modes of operation. Further information about this new helicopter is available from the Army's release.
The goal of the project was to simplify flying and improve safety, allowing pilots to focus on other tasks.
