Helikopter - Black Hawk til Hæren? - AIN

 

Det er denne aller siste varianten som går til Australia til dekning for NH90 som selges som deler nå. Den er en åpenbar kandidat når Norge skal handle nye maskiner til spesialstyrkene og Hæren. "Keep it simple" mener jeg. (Red.)

Genesys Aerosystems and XP Services are developing an add-on supplemental type certificate (STC) to the Black Hawk Alpha STC to modify the Sikorsky UH-60L “Lima” Black Hawk with a full Genesys avionics suite. Completion of the STC is expected in the fourth quarter, and Seaview Aviation of Camarillo, California, will supply the first two modified UH-60Ls “for their contract deliveries to an Australian customer,” according to Genesys.

The upgraded avionics include Genesys’ IDU-680 displays with synthetic vision and built-in flight management system; helicopter terrain awareness and warning system; georeferenced hover vector; interface with Genesys’ open architecture system integration symbology toolset; dual GPS/SBAS nav receivers, U.S. Coast Guard search-and-rescue patterns; user-defined instrument approaches; engine indication and crew alerting system; four-axis IFR-certified autopilot; and Genesys digital radio navcoms.

“As the U.S. Army releases more Lima models for civilian or foreign military use,” said Jamie Luster, Genesys director of sales and marketing, “Genesys wants to ensure operators are able to utilize fully modernized Black Hawks with a better return on their investment while increasing the aircraft’s operational life and mission effectiveness.”
