UH-60M BLACK HAWK® Helicopter

THE WORLD’S MOST VERSATILE HELICOPTER KEEPS GETTING BETTER

A combat-proven workhorse for the U.S. Army and allied militaries around the globe, the UH-60M is rugged, reliable, and ready for the toughest mission challenges.

With powerful twin engines, a reconfigurable cabin, and 9,000 lbs. of cargo capacity, the BLACK HAWK can transport troops, deliver supplies, and fly search and rescue, even in contested environments. It’s what’s made the UH-60M a trusted utility helicopter over 15 million flight hours and countless critical missions worldwide.

Multi-Role Capabilities ___

Utility version of the BLACK HAWK helicopter, with a max gross weight of 9,979 kg (22,000 lbs), transports 12 fully equipped, seated troops in combat. Sikorsky offers customization for additional mission sets.

Tomorrow’s BLACK HAWK ___

Evolving for Tomorrow’s Missions

The UH-60M is the workhorse of the Army Division and will be integral for operations for decades to come. A smart, cost-effective modernization program will make this rugged aircraft more powerful, more connected, and more digital, to give Soldiers a decisive advantage in the future fight. Modernization will:

Deliver 50% more power and better fuel-efficiency with the Improved Turbine Engine, so the aircraft can fly further, loiter longer, and carry more payload on a single tank of gas.
Accelerate and simplify future technology upgrades through a MOSA-enabled digital backbone.
Enable the Black Hawk to carry and manage networked Launched Effects drones to collect and share vital intelligence in contested environments.
Simplify and streamline maintenance and sustainment to reduce costs and improve mission readiness.
Integrate autonomy to improve safety, let pilots focus on the mission, and enable pilot-less support missions like logistics and resupply.
