Orolia Signs 20-Year Agreement To Provide ELTs And Support To Airbus Helicopters

Long-Term Contract Will Cover All Civil And Military Helicopters

Orolia, a manufacturer of resilient position, navigation and timing (PNT) technology, has signed a 20-year agreement with Airbus Helicopters to continue its role as the supplier of emergency locator transmitter beacons as well as technical support for all civil and military Airbus helicopters.

“This new, long-term contract, shows a great deal of continued trust in us from Airbus,” said Christian Belleux, Director, Aviation Product Line at Orolia. “We’ve been so pleased with the reliability of the INTEGRA ELT, the primary product for Airbus helicopters, and its unique operating features have also been proven through the years to be a strong point for operators around the world.”

The INTEGRA ELT, unlike traditional ELTs that rely on the aircraft GPS and broadcast antennae, can use its own internal GPS and backup antennae to ensure communication with the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite network in the event of an accident, providing key positioning data for better location accuracy and a higher chance of rescue. The unit, which already equips most of the Airbus Helicopters programs, weighs less than one kilogram, uses both 121.5 and 406MHz frequencies and features a six-year battery.

Under the new contract, which includes all Airbus helicopters, civil and military, Orolia will provide complete product support to the global network of Airbus Helicopters service centers. The value of the contract was not released.

“We work hard every day to win and maintain the confidence of our customers that we will always offer both the best technology and the level of service they deserve – delivering on time and within their budget,” Belleux said. “As a global leader in PNT technology, we’re able to call on an unrivaled level of expertise across the companies of Orolia to constantly advance the frontiers of technology that manufacturers and operators count on.”
