TWZ's Jamie Hunter visits Sikorsky's Black Hawk production plant in Stratford, Connecticut, to learn about a planned suite of upgrades for the UH-60 under a project dubbed "Black Hawk 2070" designed to keep it operationally-relevant way into the future. This strategy includes more powerful engines, launched effects drones, expanding autonomy, and a new nose profile. It also includes the uncrewed U-Hawk cargo drone, which will fly later this year. TWZ explores Sikorsky’s modernization efforts to extend the UH-60 Black Hawk’s service life for decades. The initiative focuses on integrating more powerful turbine engines, autonomous flight capabilities, a new digital backbone, and advanced launched effects to ensure the platform remains a versatile, multi-mission asset for both military and homeland security operations.
