What Is the MH-60S Knighthawk Helicopter?

MH-60S Knighthawk

The MH-60S Knighthawk helicopter was created for the purpose of replacing Boeing helicopters used by the U.S. Navy, with the Knighthawk originally designated as CH-60S. After an expansion in mission requirements beyond the Boeing helicopters, the Knighthawk was redesignated to its current classification, MH-60S. Features of the Knighthawk helicopter design were based on the Army’s UH-60 Black Hawk.

The multi-mission Knighthawk helicopter was introduced in February 2002, and the Navy now utilizes 275 MH-60S Knighthawk helicopters within their operations. This development has led to reductions in costs per flight hour, component removals, and mission aborts, as well as unscheduled maintenance.
