Lockheed Martin Delivers 50th Fully Missionized MH-60R Multimission Helicopter to the U.S. Navy
OWEGO, N.Y., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ — Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) has formally delivered the 50th MH-60R helicopter, fully equipped for its mission to protect the U.S. Navy fleet from hostile submarines and surface ships.
The newest member of the SEAHAWK® family of maritime helicopters is designed and manufactured by Sikorsky, with advanced mission systems integration by Lockheed Martin.
“I am extremely proud of the MH-60R team, which has enabled this important milestone in the Romeo’s continued introduction to the fleet,” said Rear Adm. Steve Eastburg, Program Executive Officer Air ASW, Assault and Special Mission programs. “The enormous multimission capability of this platform continues to be leveraged by the warfighter in new and innovative ways. It is truly a game-changing platform that will deliver powerful capabilities, ranging from low-end to high-end warfare, in the years ahead.”
During the February 3 delivery ceremony at Lockheed Martin’s Mission Systems & Sensors facility in Owego, NY, Rear Adm. Paul Grosklags, vice commander, Naval Air Systems Command thanked Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky employees and other key suppliers for their contributions to this important program.
“The MH-60R has evolved over 30 years, through lessons learned during developmental testing, fleet deployments and maintenance on these rugged airframes and mission systems, in the harshest maritime environments,” said Grosklags. “It stands now as the premier multimission helicopter in operation today. The U.S. Navy is grateful for the tremendous teamwork and experience you bring to deliver this remarkable weapon system.”
This week, an aircrew from Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron Seven Zero (HSM-70) will fly the 50th aircraft from the Owego, NY, facility to its new home at the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Fla. The aircraft is the 10th MH-60R delivered to HSM-70, which was established in February 2009.
HSM-70 will deploy with 11 MH-60R aircraft aboard the USS George H.W. Bush carrier strike group (CVN 77) in 2011. To date, the U.S. Navy has established and equipped four MH-60R squadrons, with plans to fill out 16 more through the purchase of 300 aircraft.
“The 50th delivery is a great opportunity to reflect on the success of the MH-60R within the fleet, to look forward to the expansion of the MH-60R throughout the helicopter community and to recognize the organizations that have brought this tremendous capability to the Navy,” said Captain Dean Peters, the U.S. Navy’s MH-60 program manager. “Today, these highly integrated platforms are building a situational awareness picture of the surface and undersea domains that is proving invaluable to fleet operators.”
As mission systems integrator for the Sikorsky-built MH-60R, Lockheed Martin is responsible for integrating the helicopter’s digital cockpit, a multi-mode radar, acoustic sonar suite, long-range infrared camera and other advanced sensors to detect, identify, track and engage surface and subsurface targets. Lockheed Martin also integrates a self defense system to protect the aircraft from missile threats.
“The highly integrated nature of the Common Cockpit(TM) avionics suite and the mission systems allows the aircrew to spend less time interpreting data and more time prosecuting the target,” said George Barton, Lockheed Martin’s director of Naval Helicopter Programs.
U.S. Navy test squadrons concluded 1900 hours of rigorous MH-60R flight and mission systems evaluations in 2005. Since full rate production began in early 2006, Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky have delivered all MH-60R aircraft to the U.S. Navy ahead of schedule.
The companies expect to deliver up to 27 fully-missionized MH-60R aircraft in calendar year 2010 to the U.S. Navy as part of a five-year contract for 139 MH-60R aircraft through 2013. Extra production capacity exists to deliver an additional 20 aircraft each year for sale by the U.S. Government to international navies.
The U.S. Navy deployed with 11 MH-60R aircraft for the first time from January to July 2009 with the USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) carrier strike group. During exercises in the western Pacific, the MH-60R proved to be an exceptional sub hunter and surface warfare weapons platform, accomplishing a 95 percent sortie completion rate, and showing it can perform utility and search and rescue missions among other secondary missions.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation reported 2009 sales of $45.2 billion.

Australia Awards BAE Systems Helicopter Support Contract
Filed under: Australia, BAE Systems, Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, Countries, Events, Military Aviation, Sikorsky, UTC, logistics
The Australian Government announced that they have awarded BAE Systems a three year contract with five options to support their fleet of S-70 Black Hawk utility helicopters. The contract is worth $35 million (Australian) for the fist three years. It is expected at the end of the eight years that the Sikorsky helicopters will be replaced by new aircraft.
The Black Hawk is in use with the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force as well as enjoying strong sales to overseas customers. It was developed to replace the ubiquitous UH-1 of the Vietnam Era. The S-70 is the export version of the aircraft. Australia has been a strong ally of the U.S. in its fighting in Afghanistan and has had Black Hawks since the mid-Eighties.
Hamilton Sundstrand Awarded Commercial Aircraft Parts Contract From Irkut
Filed under: Business Line, Contract Awards, Countries, Events, Hamilton Sundstrand, Irkut, Russia, UTC, commercial aviation, development program, production program
The Russian commercial aircraft manufacturer Irkut Corporation awarded the United Technology subsidiary Hamilton Sundstrand a contract to develop and provide parts for their new airliner. The contract could be worth over $2 billion dollars in the end. The MS-21 (MC in the Cyrillic Alphabet) will be a joint development of various Russian aircraft corporations to be in service sometime around 2015.
This aircraft will replace the aging fleet of Tupelov manufactured Tu-154 airliners. Irkut has also received contracts to build parts for Airbus as well as work with Yakalov on their Yak-130 aircraft. Hamilton Sundstrand will produce electrical generators and systems as well as the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) and other systems for the advanced aircraft.
JSF Second Engine Fighting For Its Life
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Congress, Contract Awards, Department of Defense, Events, Federal Budget Process, GE, Military Aviation, Pratt & Whitney, Restructuring, Rolls-Royce, Services, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, UTC, development program
One of the programs cut by Secretary of Defense Gates’ in his proposed budget is the second source for the F-35 engine. This has been a controversial program since its inception. Now with the plan to end the program Rolls Royce and General Electric are arguing it is cheaper and more sensible to continue the program.
The Air Force and Navy have always been ambivalent about the program but Congress has kept it funded. The fact that Congress cuts aircraft production to find the funding has raised the hackles of some people. Now that the Defense Department has decided to end the program the contractors, and their allies in Congress, are arguing that most of the planned money has been spent and the program should at least complete development.
Of course if the engine did go into production and was used to power some of the JSF aircraft to be used by America and its allies the amount of revenue available to GE and Rolls Royce as well as Pratt & Whitney who make the primary engine would be quite substantial. The second source providers say that the bulk of the $3.5 billion allocated to the program has been spent so rather then terminating the program at some cost just complete it.
As with all of these programs recommended for termination it will be Congress who will have the last say in the budget. But since Gates moved quickly to halt the contracts for FCS and VH-71 it wouldn’t surprise me to see a stop work order on this one as well.
Sikorsky and Workers Avoid Strike
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Connecticut, Events, Services, Sikorsky, States, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, UTC, production program
Sikorsky and its unionized workers were able to agree on a contract today avoiding another potentially costly strike. The Journal Inquirer reports that the Teamsters Union and Sikorsky agreed to a contract on Sunday. Three years ago a long strike severely impacted the ability of the company to build aircraft at the desired rate of production. Since then Sikorsky has signed a big UH-60 Black Hawk contract as well as begun the CH-53K program and hopes to possibly win the CSAR-X re-competition. With all the work underway the new contract is substantially better in terms of pay then the last one. The strike was about employee contributions to health insurance although the union ended up settling on the company’s proposal.
VH-71 Suffers Cost Breach and Connecticut is Lobbying
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Congress, Connecticut, Contract Awards, Department of Defense, Events, Federal Budget Process, Lockheed Martin, Military Aviation, Proposal, Restructuring, Services, Sikorsky, States, U.S. Navy, UTC, commercial aviation, development program, production program
The Connecticut Post reports that the VH-71 new Presidential helicopter program suffered a “Nunn-McCurdy” cost breach. There are two levels of this breach and the higher one, a 25% increase, requires the Secretary of Defense to certify the program is still required for the U.S. national defense. The fine Senators and Congressmen from Connecticut have pricked up their ears at this development and want to meet with DoD to discuss canceling the program and giving it to Sikorsky. The contract with Lockheed Martin has seen considerable cost growth due to requirements creep since the contract was awarded. This has required wholesale changes to the EH-101 platform selected. Hence the great increase in cost and schedule for the program. Of course the DoD will have to weigh the savings if another vendor proposes something cheaper with the time required to restart the program. With a new administration it is conceivable that the contract could be canceled and started over, like ARH, but it probably won’t happen.
Pratt & Whitney Wins F-22 Support Contract
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Congress, Contract Awards, Department of Defense, Events, Lockheed Martin, Military Aviation, Pratt & Whitney, Services, U.S. Air Force, UTC, production program
With the March 1st deadline to extend F-22 production looming the current fleet still needs support. Forbes.com reports that the U.S. Air Force awarded United Technology’s Pratt & Whitney group a contract to provide maintenance for the F-22 engines. The contract is worth $285 million. Lockheed and its allies in Congress have been lobbying for another buy of 20 aircraft in the next year. That would require over half-a-billion dollars to fund. Some long lead items have already been funded. The Defense budget may be under pressure in the Obama administration but nobody knows for sure yet. This is a pricey addition to that budget and the money would have to come from other programs.
First Re-engined E-8 JSTARS Rolled Out
Filed under: Business Line, Events, Military Aviation, Northrop Grumman Corp., Pratt & Whitney, Seven Q Seven, U.S. Air Force, UTC, production program
The team of Pratt & Whitney, Seven Q Seven and Northorp Grumman rolled out the first E-8 JSTARS aircraft with new JT8D-219 engines. The Bizjournals.com website has the story about the U.S. Air Force ground surveillance aircraft upgrade here. The E-8 originally entered service in the late 1980’s and served in Desert Storm and has been used in U.S. operations since. The upgraded engines will extend the life of the aircraft a few more decades. The E-10 replacement was canceled last year.
MDA Awards Pratt & Whitney Development Contract

The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) awarded Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne a contract to being development of a new Directional Attitude Control System (DACS). The press release is at TradingMarkets.com. The initial contract is worth about $12 million. The DACS will be part of the Multiple Kill Vehicle program MDA previously announced that will allow one interceptor missile to carry more than one KV to attack enemy threat systems.
US Air Force to award CSAR-X recompete soon

In a contract that has fallen to the back burner recently due to KC-45 events, the Air Force announced that they would complete the recompete for the CSAR-X by September. Contract award would be soon after. The CSAR-X contract to replace the HH-60 PaveHawk aircraft was originally awarded to Boeing with a variant of the CH-47. Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin protested and won with the GAO ruling that the Air Force did not apply the selection criteria properly. The whole contract was recompeted with Boeing, Sikorsky and Lockheed resubmitting bids.

SAC sliding Canadian contract
Filed under: Canada, Contract Awards, Military Aviation, Sikorsky, UTC, production program
The story out of Canada is that the contract to buy 28 H-92 aircraft from SAC is sliding to the right. There are also rumors of cost increases. The Canadian government is threatening to cancel the contract if delays and cost increases are true. Normally for a contract like this to buy an established system starts experiencing slips or cost growth there are usually requirement changes or the contractor didn’t really provide what the customer desired. There is no word yet on what has happened. It may be that Sikorsky was just a little aggressive in their schedule.
Interesting analysis of United Technologies performance
The Motley Fool has some interesting analysis about the recent award by the US Army of the UH-60 production contract to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC), which is part of UTC. While the size of the contract is large, $1.7 Billion, it is a drop in the bucket in total UTC revenues. SAC also has had the lowest margin of any part of the company. The article is here. While it is true that UTC is a very large corporation, the award will keep SAC busy for several years and has the potential to spin off Foreign Military Sales and other work.
