'Sikorsky and the Army have been conducting tests in support of developing a fully autonomous and/or remotely piloted UH-60 Black Hawk for years. The OPV Black Hawk initially carried safety pilots in the cockpit. In February, pilots were removed from the test helicopter to demonstrate that Sikorsky’s Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System, or ALIAS, can fly the helicopter without a human. Sikorsky released the below video on the occasion of the first "uninhabited flight."

ALIAS is designed to assist aircrews performing complex aviation missions. It is meant to function as a sort of digital copilot to reduce pilot workload and decision fatigue while improving safety in piloted mode. The system’s autonomous control can be dialed up or down depending on mission requirements and should eventually be retrofittable into any legacy rotorcraft. ALIAS is a project helmed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) that uses Sikorsky's MATRIX autonomy flight control system.'
