This initiative is aimed at facilitating the modernization of helicopters, reducing operating costs and accelerating the introduction of new technologies. Completion of works is scheduled for 2029.
< P > Mosarc from Collins Aerospace will be a key component of Black Hawk update. It provides separation of onboard avionics and missionary equipment, which allows you to independently update individual systems without significant changes in the structure. Mosarc includes digital communication modules, flexible flight management software and integrated displays that facilitate adaptation to new conditions and provide better cybersecurity.
< p >In recent years, UH-60M has been active modernization. In January 2025, Sikorsky tested new GE Aerospace T901 turbine engines that increase the helicopter capacity by 50% while reducing fuel costs. Also testing the autonomous Alias/Matrix navigation system, which allows Black Hawk to perform missions without crew.< p > The increase in the life of the helicopter remains a priority. For example, in 2023, the US Army officially adopted the Northrop Grumman Circm, which protects Black Hawk from infrared missiles. At the same time, a 5G-network test to transmit telemetric data has allowed to reduce the diagnostic information update time by 80%, which improves the maintenance and readiness of the helicopter.
< p > UH-60M & mdash; This is the most modern version of the Black Hawk helicopter, which has been in service from the United States since 1979. It has a reinforced structure, digital avionic and improved aerodynamics, which increases the efficiency of missions. It is equipped with two GE T700-GE-701D engines, it can carry up to 11 soldiers or carry more than 4 tons of amounts. The maximum speed is 294 km/h, and the combat radius & mdash; 592 km.< P > UH-60M Modernization makes this helicopter even flexible in use adapted to modern threats and technological changes, which ensures its durability in the composition of US military aviation and allies.
