Goodrich Receives U.S. Army Spares Order to Support UH-60 Helicopter Fleet

Goodrich Corporation

has received an order from the U.S. Army to provide 80 spare health and usage management system (HUMS) electronic units for the Army's UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. The units will be produced by Goodrich's Sensors and Integrated Systems business in Vergennes, Vt. Deliveries are expected to commence in early 2013. "It started as an R&D project in Vermont, but HUMS has become a vital life-saving and cost-saving tool that now is standard equipment on military helicopters," said Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.). "I am so proud of the important work that Goodrich is doing in our state," he added. Senator Leahy, a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee's Defense Subcommittee, has been a long-time supporter of Goodrich's work in Vergennes, including the technology behind HUMS.
