HAWK

Many requirements. One solution.

BATTLEHAWK delivers the ultimate flexibility for combat and non-combat missions. One helicopter has what it takes to meet the challenges facing modern militaries that must continually do more with less. That helicopter is the S70 BATTLEHAWK. Based on the battleproven BLACK HAWK utility helicopter, the BATTLEHAWK integrates the specific features, capabilities and armament most requested by international military customers, all at an affordable price. In fact, the S70 BATTLEHAWK is uniquely qualified to meet their needs. Only BATTLEHAWK will meet the demanding requirements for armed reconnaissance and attack missions in the 21st century. Only BATTLEHAWK delivers capability and cost effectiveness in a single weapon system. Only BATTLEHAWK is versatile enough to carry out multiple missions, ranging from armed combat to disaster relief, but performing each with maximum effectiveness. With world class multimission performance, the S70 BATTLEHAWK is the worlds most versatile combat helicopter, delivering the same, or better, armed performance than a dedicated attack helicopter. At the same time, it is fully capable of responding effectively as a utility, troop transport or disaster relief tool. Its redefining the term multimission for the modern age: S70 BATTLEHAWK.

Mission ready. Support that never stops.

We keep modern militaries flying with around-the-world and around-the-clock service. Innovative programs such as Fleet Management, Performance Based Logistics (PBL) and Depot Partnerships are just a few of the services Sikorsky employs to increase aircraft availability and readiness, improve easeofuse, and reduce cost of ownership. Modern militaries flying the S70 BATTLEHAWK will benefit from a technologically advanced, complete life cycle support system and a comprehensive program that includes spare parts, overhaul and repair, training, onsite technical and logistics representatives, ground support equipment, publications and more. In addition, commonality with the U.S. Army BLACK HAWK fleet will further streamline the entire support process, from spares to logistics, and will ensure NATO commonality. The S70 BATTLEHAWK worldwide customer service team will work with your personnel to maximize mission readiness, improve easeof use and reduce cost of ownership. Sikorsky is your service partner who keeps you flying.

The Equipment You Need to Win

One helicopter many missions.
The S70 BATTLEHAWK consistently and reliably delivers the performance, support, and value required for the modern military mission. The S70 has stateoftheart active vibration reduction for a smooth ride, reducing both human and component fatigue. It also combines the latest in survivability enhancements with the ruggedness of the crashworthy BLACK HAWK. Sikorskys legacy of service began with the worlds first helicopter rescue, and has expanded over the years to include a variety of missions for which the S70 BATTLEHAWK is ideally and uniquely suited. Like the veteran BLACK HAWK before it, the affordable S70 BATTLEHAWK is a combatproven helicopter without peer. And while mili tary budgets shrink, operational challenges continue to grow. Advanced weapons platforms and systems remain extremely expensive, so multimission assets like the S70 are becoming ever more important. It will fly wherever duty calls, in whatever role is required, delivering maximum value for its operators.
