As the Army Transformation Initiative pushes the force toward rapid, multidomain operations, Sikorsky is accelerating a suite of upgrades that builds on the proven UH-60 Black Hawk lineage to deliver a future ready network-centric node. The result is a helicopter that not only carries more payload farther and with less maintenance, but also acts as an autonomous hub for drones, a low maintenance workhorse and a seamless partner to the MV-75 and the F35.
