The U.S. Army has selected Near Earth Autonomy and Honeywell for a $15 million project to retrofit UH-60L Black Hawk helicopters with advanced autonomy kits.
The goal of the project is to develop an optionally piloted contested logistics solution that can operate 24/7 without onboard crews and remote pilots.
Near Earth's deterministic autonomy architecture, called Captain, ensures mission assurance in degraded environments without GPS or reliable communications.
Honeywell provides scalable and certifiable avionics solutions to support the retrofitting of existing aircraft and enable advancements toward autonomous flight.
