S-70UAS U-Hawk Reveal
AUSA
S-70UAS U-Hawk reveal launch film Launch Film
Brief

Launch the S-70UAS U-Hawk, an uncrewed Black Hawk variant, at AUSA, the U.S. Army's largest trade show, with a film strong enough to carry the reveal across YouTube and Instagram.

Constraint

A compliance-intensive defense environment. Every frame reviewed against export control and program security. No room for reshoots, no ambiguity in what could be shown.

Approach

Owned editorial end to end. Cut the launch film and primary Instagram deliverables, pacing the edit around the aircraft's autonomy story rather than a spec sheet. Coordinated across engineering, flight test, communications, and program leadership to protect the creative through review.

Result

1.2M YouTube views, roughly 145x the channel's median first-month performance. Part of a campaign recognized by the 2026 Lockheed Martin NOVA and RMS Evening of Excellence awards.

Channel baseline from vidIQ performance data.
