Sikorsky Subsidiary Will Provide Support For US Navy H-72A Fleet

First Program To Work Directly With The Navy's Test Pilot School

Sikorsky Aerospace Services announced Monday that Helicopter Support Incorporated (HSI), a Sikorsky Aerospace Services company, has been chosen to provide a Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) program for U.S. Navy Light Utility Helicopters (LUH) at Maryland's NAS Patuxent River under its contract with EADS North America. Sikorsky Aerospace Services is the aftermarket business of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation.

A modified version of the existing Army Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) program will be provided to the Navy's LUH fleet of five UH-72A helicopters to meet the Navy's CLS program requirement. The CLS program for the Army provides total life-cycle support capability at a dollar per flight hour rate, and is being subcontracted to HSI by EADS North America, the prime contractor for the LUH program.

"This teaming effort demonstrates again that our industry-leading expertise in support capabilities is well recognized," said David Adler, president of Sikorsky Aerospace Services.

The venture is the first of its kind to work directly with the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School at Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland. It will enable the U.S. Navy to conduct test pilot training to meet the demands of multiple services. An estimated 1,000 flight hours will be flown annually by the test pilot school pilots.
