U-Hawk-enabled missions
By eliminating the cockpit and internal components, the U-Hawk has 25% more cargo space than the UH-60L Black Hawk.
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.
Air-ground team — Drive on/off an uncrewed ground vehicle, such as the HDT Hunter Wolf 6x6 UGV.
Cargo — Transport up to four Joint Modular Intermodal Containers (vs. two today).
Missile transport — Carry a HIMARS pod of six rockets, or two Naval Strike Missiles.
Launched effects — Deploy launched effects carrying sensors/munitions from quivers secured to the cabin.
Endurance — Self-deploy over 1600nm or loiter for up to 14 hours without refueling.
Like a UH-60L aircraft, a U-Hawk variant retains the ability to load cargo from the side door, and externally lift 9,000 pounds (4,080 kg) using its cargo hook.
Operators – not pilots – fly U-Hawks
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.
