At the end of 1968, the U.S. Army awarded contracts to several companies for the development of a multirole tactical transport helicopter. This program was called UTTAS (Utility Tactical Transport Air System), and the following requirements were set: a three-person crew, the ability to carry 11-15 soldiers in the cabin, a powerplant with two engines, and the ability to transport the helicopter inside a cargo aircraft. In 1976, after completing the tests, the Army selected Sikorsky as the winner of the UTTAS program, and a contract was signed for the production of the first batch of helicopters, which were designated UH-60A Black Hawk (Sikorsky’s series designation was S-70).
These became the basis for a whole family of helicopters for various purposes—transport, special operations, electronic warfare, naval multirole, anti-submarine, medical, and more. The MH-60L modification is a special operations helicopter for the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) of the U.S. Army, also known as the “Night Stalkers.” The helicopter is equipped with weather radar and a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor, and it can also be fitted with an air refuelling system.
