Sikorsky, Goodrich Collaborate On Health And Usage Monitoring
Systems
Helicopter Support Inc. (HSI) signed a memorandum of
understanding (MOU) with Goodrich Corporation Tuesday to
collaboratively promote an advanced aircraft maintenance solution
to the worldwide rotary aircraft market. HSI is a support and
distribution company of Sikorsky Aerospace Services (SAS), the
aftermarket business of Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.
The Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS) developed by
Goodrich's Sensors and Integrated Systems business is a series of
networked diagnostic sensors that continuously and comprehensively
monitors the mechanical performance of the entire aircraft. This
powerful system provides real-time data that enhances predictive
maintenance. Integrating the HUMS data with Sikorsky Aerospace
Services' OEM installation expertise and support capabilities
enables a breakthrough, proactive maintenance system that lowers
operating costs and increases fleet availability.
"Our global OEM expertise, diverse specialties and experience
position SAS as the premiere one-stop service provider in today's
demanding market," said David Adler, President of Sikorsky
Aerospace Services. "We are able to sell, support and maintain the
Goodrich HUMS, and this full capacity exemplifies the unparalleled
value we offer our customers worldwide."

"We are the leading supplier of Vehicle Health Management
Systems to the U.S. military," said Jan Mathiesen, Vice-President
of Goodrich Sensors and Integrated Systems. "Our systems have been
validated on multiple aircraft including the Sikorsky Black Hawk
helicopter, with documented reduction in maintenance time and
costs. It's a natural progression to offer our HUMS systems for
international Black Hawk helicopter fleets, and we are pleased to
collaborate with Sikorsky Aerospace Services and HSI to enable
international customers to benefit from the total aircraft care
package they can provide."
