LifePort, a Sikorsky company, won a contract for 25 customized Black Hawk Ballistic Protection Systems (BPS) to an undisclosed customer in the Middle East.

Sikorsky is a Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) company.

“LifePort has a long history of providing high-quality ballistic protection solutions to customers in the Middle East,” said Noah Zuckerman, LifePort general manager.  “We are excited to continue that tradition and deliver systems that protect both the US and our allies as they execute their missions under some of the most demanding conditions the world has to offer”.
