Footage released by Anduril on 31 August shows an H-60M Black Hawk rocket-launching an Altius-700 from an external pylon, the drone streaking away across the Mojave before a formation of them hunts down a target on its own.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Black Hawk is not a gunship. That job belongs to the AH-64 Apache. What the Army demonstrated at Project Convergence Capstone 6 is something stranger and arguably more useful: a utility helicopter acting as a mothership, throwing sensors and precision strike far beyond anything bolted to its own airframe.<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px;margin:24px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:17px\">Quick Facts<\/p><ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:18px;line-height:1.8\"><li><strong>Event:<\/strong> Project Convergence Capstone 6, flown over the Mojave Desert<\/li><li><strong>Footage released:<\/strong> 31 August 2026, by Anduril Industries<\/li><li><strong>Launch platform:<\/strong> H-60M Black Hawk, launched effects carried on external wing pylons<\/li><li><strong>Weapon:<\/strong> Anduril Altius-700 family; the armed Altius-700M carries a warhead of up to 33 lb (15 kg)<\/li><li><strong>Reach:<\/strong> Altius-700M range of roughly 160 km (100 miles), endurance about 75 minutes<\/li><li><strong>For comparison:<\/strong> The AGM-114 Hellfire reaches around 11 km<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What actually happened over the Mojave<\/h2>\r\n<p>According to Anduril, an H-60M crew employed an Altius-700 &ldquo;hunter-killer team&rdquo; that autonomously found the target, passed the data across the formation, and struck. In other words, the helicopter crew did not fly the drone onto the target. They released it, and the machines sorted out the rest between themselves.<\/p>\r\n<p>The Mojave was not chosen for the scenery. The extreme desert heat let the Army validate the system's environmental resilience alongside its networking. It followed three days of flight testing in June at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia, where H-60M aircrews launched and controlled multiple medium-range launched effects.<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2094508311261687915&theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px;border:none;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n<p>Anduril labelled the vehicles in the clip simply as Altius-700, but the footage shows one of them destroying what appears to be an armoured ground vehicle. Ahead of the event, the Army had identified the armed Altius-700M as the Long-Range Precision Munition it planned to fire from a Black Hawk, which strongly suggests the kinetic vehicle in the video is a 700M.<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;Successfully launching Air-Launched Effects from a Black Hawk is more than a milestone, it is a leap forward.

The appeal is obvious. A non-kinetic effect can scout far ahead of the formation while the crewed helicopter stays well outside the threat envelope. An armed one can hit something the helicopter could never safely approach.<\/p>\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/uh-60-black-hawk-cockpit-view-dawn.jpg\" alt=\"View from the cockpit of a UH-60 Black Hawk at dawn\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">The Black Hawk has spent four decades hauling troops and cargo.

A Hellfire obliges the helicopter to close to roughly 11 kilometres of whatever it is shooting at. An Altius-700M reportedly reaches out to about 160 kilometres and can loiter for over an hour on the way. That is not an incremental improvement in reach; it is a different way of fighting.<\/p>\r\n<p>Sikorsky has been open about where this leads, and it is not one drone at a time.<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\"><em>&ldquo;We do not envision employing just one at a time.

It can carry payloads for surveillance, targeting, electronic warfare or communications relay. The weaponised variant, the Altius-700M, is a loitering munition carrying a warhead of up to 33 pounds, with a range of roughly 160 kilometres and about 75 minutes of endurance.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>What did the Black Hawk Altius-700 test demonstrate?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">At Project Convergence Capstone 6, footage released by Anduril on 31 August 2026 shows a US Army H-60M Black Hawk rocket-launching an Altius-700 over the Mojave Desert. According to Anduril the crew employed a hunter-killer team that autonomously found the target, passed data across the formation and struck it, with the helicopter crew releasing rather than piloting the drone.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>What are air-launched effects?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Air-launched effects are small uncrewed systems fired from an aircraft to do the dangerous work at a distance. They provide surveillance, targeting, electronic warfare, communications relay, deception or strike. The appeal is that a non-kinetic effect can scout far ahead of a formation while the crewed aircraft stays well outside the threat envelope.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>Why launch drones from a Black Hawk rather than an Apache?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">The Black Hawk is a utility and assault helicopter, not a gunship, so this turns it into a mothership rather than a conventional attack aircraft. Giving an H-60 the ability to release autonomous sensors and long-range precision effects lets a transport helicopter move sensing and strike far beyond the reach of its own onboard weapons.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>How much further does the Altius-700M reach than a Hellfire?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Considerably. The AGM-114 Hellfire obliges a helicopter to close to roughly 11 kilometres of its target. The Altius-700M reportedly reaches out to about 160 kilometres and can loiter for over an hour on the way. That is not an incremental improvement in reach but a different way of fighting.<\/div><\/details><details><summary>Where does the US Army take this next?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">The Army describes Increment 1 of the launched-effects capability as a fully government-owned system developed with the Utility Helicopters Project Office and DEVCOM Aviation and Missile Center.
