The new Lakota brings a redesigned cockpit, Helionix avionics, automated engine controls, smoother flight characteristics, more powerful Safran engines, automated hover modes, and new safety features. While the UH-72B isn't designed for combat, its improved usability, reliability, and performance could make a major difference for Army pilots flying support and training missions.
