Sikorsky Fully Equips 1st Army Unit With UH-60M BLACK HAWK Helicopters
(Stratford, Conn., June 11, 2008) -- Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. today delivered the 30th UH-60M BLACK HAWK helicopter to the U.S. Army for the 4-101 Assault Battalion, making it the First Unit Equipped (FUE) with the aircraft. Sikorsky is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX).
The new aircraft provide the Army with many enhancements critical to supporting its missions. These enhancements include a new fully digitized cockpit with four multi-function displays, a four-axis fully coupled flight director, digital map, dual embedded global positioning/inertial navigation system, and an integrated vehicle health management system (IVHMS). The model also features wide chord composite blades and an increased shaft horsepower performance engine.
"Our employees showed tremendous determination and teamwork to produce these aircraft and get them to the field on time," said Sikorsky President Jeffrey P. Pino. "The new program required a major ramp-up and a necessary learning curve, but we were united in our commitment that we were not going to let our soldiers down."
"What has been accomplished over the past seven months is nothing short of phenomenal," said Lt. Col. Bert Vergez, Army UH-60M Helicopter Product Manager, upon receiving the final FUE aircraft. "Thanks to Sikorsky, the 4-101 Assault Battalion will have aircraft to carry them through to victory. In all my 22 years of active service, I have never been more proud of America's citizen soldiers - the Sikorsky team is truly above the best."
