For the first time ever: An AU-60 Alpha Black Hawk helicopter flies without a pilot - something that could completely change the face of combat in the field in the future. For smokers only: This is how you can save over 8,500 shekels a year Company officials said they had been working on the program for about six years, but there was always a pilot in the aircraft, even if the helicopter flew completely autonomously. In a press briefing, Igor Cherpinski, a senior Lockheed Martin executive, said: "The helicopter has a switch called 'switch 210' that indicates how many pilots are on the plane. For the first time, that switch was turned to zero." The aircraft made two flights in total, over Fort Campbell, Kentucky, the first for 30 minutes on February 5 and the second, two days later, was shorter. According to Lockheed Martin, the helicopter performed pre-flight checks, took off and flew through a simulation system that simulates light range detection, and depicts the dense and complex skyline of New York. The helicopter maneuvered between the simulated skyscrapers of Manhattan autonomously and then landed on its own. The helicopter, which was first tested in 2018, incorporates an autonomous system to allow pilots to navigate over slightly damaged areas, or those with limited visibility and poor communications.
