2025年8月,一名未接受航空训练的陆军中士通过平板电脑试用了一架黑鹰无人驾驶飞机,使用新的自主技术完成了类似战斗的任务。 In Aug 2025, an Army sergeant without aviation training piloted a Black Hawk drone via tablet, completing combat-like missions using new autonomy tech.

在2025年8月的北方打击25-2演习中,一名没有航空背景的陆军国民警卫队一等中士成功地使用手持平板电脑操作了一架可选驾驶的黑直升机,完成了包括70海里有效载荷交付,精确降落,自主外部载荷连接和尾对尾患者转移在内的任务. In August 2025, during the Northern Strike 25-2 exercise, an Army National Guard sergeant first class with no aviation background successfully operated an optionally piloted Black Hawk helicopter using a handheld tablet, completing missions including a 70-nautical-mile payload delivery, precision drops, an autonomous external load hookup, and a tail-to-tail patient transfer. 该试验使用洛克希德·马丁·西科尔斯基的MATRIX自治系统,标志着在与战斗有关的情况下首次出现了真正的战斗战士,而不是试验飞行员或工程师,他们完全控制了OPV。 The test, using Lockheed Martin Sikorsky’s MATRIX autonomy system, marked the first time a real warfighter—not a test pilot or engineer—fully controlled an OPV in a combat-relevant scenario. 美军正在推进此类技术,以减少风险,降低成本,改善高危或低可见度环境中的后勤和人员恢复。 The U.S. Army is advancing such technology to reduce risk, cut costs, and improve logistics and personnel recovery in high-threat or low-visibility environments.
