S-70i The S-70i is Sikorsky's designation of the UH-60M produced by PZL Mielec in Poland. S-70 Unmanned Aircraft System ("U-Hawk") Modified UH-60L demonstrator converted into an uncrewed cargo drone by removing the cockpit and adding clamshell doors. The cockpit, pilot, and crew chief stations are removed allowing the full cabin space to be used for mission packages and increasing usable space by 25% compared to previous variants. The aircraft is capable of autonomous or fly-by-wire control and can be operated from a tablet-like device. It can self-deploy to a range of 1,600 nm with a total endurance of 14 hours without refueling; this can be extended through usage of internal fuel tanks. Payload capacity is 7,000 internal, 9,000 sling loaded, or 10,000 mixed, which is roughly comparable by weight to that of a crewed UH-60L. Configured for cargo, the aircraft can carry up to four Joint Modular Intermodal Containers (twice as much as standard UH-60 variants), or ammunition pods for the M270 and HIMARS rocket systems, or two canisters for the Naval Strike Missile. For direct engagements, the U-Hawk is designed to carry "launch quivers" of 24-50 "air-launched effects" munitions. ==Non-US military designations==
