Northrop Grumman has supplied digital cockpit upgrades to the integrated avionics suite for the US Army’s UH-60V Black Hawk, which recently completed initial operational test and evaluation (IOT&E).
The completion of IOT&E marks a significant milestone for the UH-60V program on the pathway to full-rate production.
James Conroy, Vice President, navigation, targeting & survivability, Northrop Grumman, said: “Northrop Grumman’s scalable, fully integrated avionics system will ensure the legacy Black Hawk fleet remains at the forefront of combat capability for decades to come.
“It is designed with a secure, open architecture that provides greater mission flexibility and a rapid upgrade path.”
Benefits include enhanced pilot situational understanding and mission safety, as well as decreased pilot workload and life cycle cost. Additionally, providing a nearly identical pilot-vehicle interface to the UH-60M enables common training and operational employment. The foundational architecture of the UH-60V can be adapted to numerous aircraft platforms and is available globally
