Odysight.ai® announced the successful completion of the first U.S. test flights of its AI visual sensing solution aboard a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter in partnership with XP Services in Tullahoma, Tennessee.
The milestone marks the first U.S. deployment of Odysight.ai’s ruggedized AI visual sensing technology on an aircraft and the first installation of the Company’s solution on a UH-60 Black Hawk platform worldwide, advancing the Company’s North American growth strategy. With more than 4,000 UH-60 helicopters currently in active service worldwide, of which approximately 2,800 are in the U.S. market, the successful test flights represent a significant opportunity for future adoption across military and commercial rotorcraft fleets.
Odysight.ai’s solution delivers continuous, real-time monitoring of critical aircraft components to detect leaks, cracks, corrosion, wear, and other anomalies, supporting condition-based maintenance initiatives that improve safety, increase aircraft availability, reduce unscheduled downtime, and lower operating costs.
These test flights, conducted with XP Services’ rotorcraft integration and certification expertise, validated the system’s initial performance under dynamic operating conditions. The system successfully provided stable, real-time visual monitoring of the helicopter’s hydraulic systems and flight controls in-flight conditions.
The companies are now evaluating next-phase testing activities and broader deployment opportunities across additional aircraft platforms and operators.
“These successful test flights are the next step in the US commercialization strategy that we are developing, from our partnership with XP services to our recently announced collaboration with the US Navy. This demonstrates real-time monitoring of the helicopter’s hydraulic systems and flight controls, which we believe will accelerate Odysight.ai’s adoption across military and commercial rotorcraft fleets”. said Yehu Ofer, Chief Executive Officer of Odysight.ai.
