Near Earth Autonomy, in collaboration with Honeywell, Moog, and XP Services, has finalized integration for the RUC-60, a repurposed UH-60L Black Hawk designed for autonomous military logistics. The program integrates Near Earth's Captain autonomy system, meeting aerospace safety standards.

After successful automated flight demonstrations, the team plans logistics testing in 2026. The RUC-60 aims to provide robust logistics capabilities in contested environments, reducing risk to personnel and enhancing operational efficiency. The conversion approach focuses on existing Army aircraft, utilizing them for high-tempo, uncrewed delivery missions.
