The unmanned military helicopter has completed two missions

 Arizona: For the first time in history, a military helicopter has been modified to fly without the remote control of a human pilot or remote crew and also perform two symbolic missions.

The Sikorsky Blackhawk helicopter fully autonomously carried supplies from one location to another and performed an 'emergency rescue' including a patient (thin human) to a field hospital. In this process, the helicopter was completely unmanned and was not guided by any human from outside.

The tests, which have just been announced, were conducted on October 12, 14 and 18, 2022 at a military base in Arizona. These were lengthy experiments in which British, Australian and American military experts evaluated a total of 300 new technologies, including long-range weapons, drones and robots.

The aim is to automate conventional helicopters for dangerous missions so that there is no possibility of any casualties. In this way, expert pilots will be able to provide their services on other essential missions. It is part of DARPA's cockpit automation system, which includes critical pre-flight functions such as power, secondary controls and airspeed.

In the first phase, the helicopter picked up 400 units of real and simulated blood and delivered it 163 km away. At many points the height of the helicopter was only 200 feet so that it could hardly be identified in the mission. In the second experiment, he lifted a 1000 kg weight and was controlled by a radio and tablet by a person on the ground. Reaching his place, he unloaded the weight.

In the third experiment, he transported dummy humans to a field hospital, pretending to be humans. According to DARPA, this technology is now suitable and ready for use in general situations.
