(CNN)A Black Hawk helicopter took its first autonomous flight without a pilot on board on Saturday at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.

The helicopter flew for 30 minutes without any passengers on board first on Saturday and again on Monday, according to a release from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Department of Defense's research arm.

The test flight is a part of DARPA's Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System (ALIAS) program, which aims to put "removable kits" into already existing military aircrafts to "promote the addition of high-level automation," the program's webpage says.

The Black Hawk helicopter, a UH-60A model, had Sikorsky MATRIX autonomous technology installed in it to make the helicopter fly without needing a pilot. Sikorsky MATRIX is a technology produced by the company Lockheed Martin.

"With reduced workloads pilots can focus on mission management instead of the mechanics," said Stuart Young, program manager in DARPA's Tactical Technology Office said in a release about the successful test flight. "This unique combination of autonomy software and hardware will make flying both smarter and safer."

The ALIAS program has "leveraged the considerable advances in aircraft automation systems over the past 50 years," the release said.

Young said autonomous helicopters, like the Black Hawk tested in this instance, will help Army pilots better achieve their missions.

"With ALIAS, the Army will have much more operational flexibility," Young added in the release. "This includes the ability to operate aircraft at all times of the day or night, with and without pilots, and in a variety of difficult conditions, such as contested, congested, and degraded visual environments."

Nice.

Wow

See where nations have advanced to-technology in action. While a president back home is only obsessed with re-establishing non-existent cattle grazing routes.

Good

I’m single and searching.. plus I have money to spend! Hit me up

Good but when are we going to see a world without war and bloodletting, man is doing his best to create more intelligent weapons of warfare to kill fellow man but we need technology that will improve human relationships with fellow humans

I'm always delighted to see these kind of news. The world is really advancing, yet I wonder if we're in a time travelling machine and Africa is way back in time

The pure wickedness in the heart of Africans won't let them notice that the world is revolving every day especially Nigeria.

Once I will get to heaven, the very first question I will ask God is to show me the angel in charge of placing babies around the world. If I no use 2/2 or 1/12 scatter in head make I see wetin cause am

The west are taking innovation to another level

What a country am in self....

Toh!

When will Buhari implement ruga settlement?

Niceeeee
Op, how much? I need three for my hood

What's tha business?

Ain't bordering

Some yeye people here says America is a weak nation and that China will defeat America in battle... I just dey laugh their funny comments because, it took China 100years to get space even after America has been there for a long time. the closest country to compete with America is Russia and the German which China cannot be fully trusted when it comes to war...America leads,others follows....

Scammer

yea
soon warfare will be between bots and machines
with humans using pads at home to control them

PETROL is 300/L




Use me as a FÛCK YOU BUBU button!

China ready to copy Loading...

Naija when?

The only thing that's advancing in my country is ritualism, corruption, wickedness and more....

Great and awestriking automation. But to be frank, it will be really scary to fly a plane without pilot. Thumbs up to the US. While we are here busy promoting and fighting banditry apiece, others are steadily advancing in technology. We have all it takes to get there. But we are deeply divided along religious and regional lines.

Nice job guys

Same similarities with Nigeria; No Pilot.

while Cows are Buharis top most priorities #tueeh

If a country can exist without a real leader, why can't a helicopter fly without a pilot?
