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.
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.

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.
