Sikorsky contracts Curtiss-Wright Controls for Turkish Navy helicopters
Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc. announced that it has received a contract from Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. to supply ASIST airborne components to be fitted on all of the S-70B SEAHAWK helicopters destined for the Turkish Navy under their Lot 2 agreement. The contract includes all manufacturing, testing and delivery of 17 helicopter probes and beacon assemblies.
These components are required to interface with the shipboard ASIST system, provided under a separate contract by Curtiss-Wright Controls, for the Turkish Navy’s ‘G’ class and ‘Barbaros’ class frigates. ASIST is a state-of-the-art deck handling solution for shipboard helicopter operations that fully integrates all of the functions required to safely operate and stow large ship-borne helicopters. In addition to enabling safe launch and recovery, ASIST facilitates the securing, maneuvering and storage of helicopters, day or night, even in adverse weather and sea conditions up to sea state 5/6.
“Curtiss-Wright has been a major supplier to Sikorsky for a number of years and is very pleased to be working with them on the Turkish helicopter program,” said Dave Adams, President of Curtiss-Wright Controls. “The ASIST system continues to demonstrate its superior capabilities and best value to navies around the world.”
The S-70B helicopter is an international derivative of the U.S. Navy SH-60B SEAHAWK. Multi-mission capable, the S-70B can perform search and rescue, medical evacuation, surveillance, vertical replenishment and utility missions. Initial helicopter deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2009.
Work for this contract will be performed at the Curtiss-Wright Controls, Engineered Systems - Marine Defense facility in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, with deliveries scheduled from 2008 to 2009
