Breeze-Eastern Corporation
Awarded $4 Million H-60 Rescue Hoist Multi-Year Contract
Union,
New Jersey, June 30, 2003 - Breeze-Eastern Corporation has been awarded a multi-year
contract by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a subsidiary of United
Technologies Corporation of Hartford, CT, to supply rescue hoists in
support of the new U.S. Navy MH-60R/S helicopter programs.
The new helicopters will replace the SH-60B and SH-60F aircraft,
whose primary mission is anti-submarine warfare (ASW).
The SH-60B is the U.S. Navy’s small-ship based ASW helicopter,
and the SH-60F is the carrier-based ASW aircraft.
The new MH-60S Knighthawk will be used as a multi-purpose
transport, supply replenishment rescue helicopter for combat search and
rescue, special-operations, transportation and mine countermeasures.
Combined, the Naval programs could total close to 500 aircraft. The
basic contract is for five years for a minimum of 69 rescue hoist systems,
which have a value of more than $4,000,000.
The contract also contains options for up to 60 additional aircraft
per year. The contract
aggregate value is contingent upon the year-to-year U.S. Navy budget
allocations. “This
contract reflects Breeze-Eastern Corporation’s continuing support of Sikorsky and
the U.S. Navy. As the provider of the rescue hoist systems on the original
SH-60B and SH-60F platforms, we are proud to now be the supplier of choice
for this next generation of Naval Hawk aircraft as well,” stated Robert
L. G. White, President and CEO of Breeze-Eastern Corporation. |
