They’ve Made A Pilotless Version Of The Iconic Black Hawk Army Helicopter [Video]
18 Jun 2014 by Jasmine Stone in Tech/Sci, Video, World
The latest vehicle to go fully automatic is the infamous Black Hawk army helicopter. This incredibly high tech machine just took things to the next level, allowing it to be manned by just one pilot, rather than the usual two, or if the mission is too dangerous to send a person with, the helicopter can fly completely unmanned.
The Optionally Piloted Black Hawk (OPBH) operates under Sikorsky’s Manned/Unmanned Resupply Aerial Lifter (MURAL) program, which couples the company’s advanced Matrix aviation software with its man-portable Ground Control Station (GCS) technology. Matrix, introduced a year ago, gives rotary and fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft a high level of system intelligence to complete missions with little human oversight.
