Autonomous Take Off
Just Completing Into A Stable Hover
You Can See The First Obstacle Coming Into The Flight Path
And There's The Left Hand Turn To Avoid
The Large No-Fly Zone
We're Entering The City Now
You Can See The Aircraft Maneuvering Between The Simulated Buildings
And There's The Flight Plan To Home

Mission Complete
_________________________________________________
The Sikorsky partnered with the DARPA or Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to improve flight safety and operations so humans and machines can work together more seamlessly.
With this technology pilots can focus on saving lives or transporting cargo Instead of the mechanics required for contemporary flight.
In the recent mission they demonstrated a complete supervised autonomy. That means the machine is flying autonomously. But, in the presence of pilot.
The S-70 OPV Black Hawk helicopter demonstrated autonomous take-off, landing and two simulated obstacle avoidance scenarios. All those with a tablet.
In future the aircraft can be operated with two, one or zero pilots at all times of the day or night and in a variety of complex scenarios, including contested, congested and degraded visual environments
The helicopter can be seen with two pilots. The pilot on right has the controls. The left one has a tablet. Through this tablet he will be operating and monitoring the helicopter. He can send commands to the helicopter via this tablet.
Black Hawk helicopter was retrofitted with a technology kit to give it full-authority, fly-by-wire flight controls. The envelope has been fully expanded for speed and angle of bank and the team has worked to add additional sensors to the aircraft. Flight testing this year has included supervised autonomy, trajectory following, and obstacle avoidance. In 2021, the OPV Black Hawk will fly completely autonomously - meaning no operator on board - for the first time.
