Sikorsky Wins Brazil’s Black Hawk Helicopter Sustainment Contract
Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, won a four-year contract from the Brazilian Air Force to provide logistics support for the service’s UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter fleet.
The contract will improve fleet sustainment resulting from local storage of commonly required spare parts, assistance from a regional Sikorsky field service technician, and direct technical support from Sikorsky Engineering.
The Brazilian Air Force acquired its 16 Black Hawk aircraft via Foreign Military Sales between 2006 and 2013.
The Air Force contract is modeled after a multi-year logistics support agreement between Sikorsky and the Brazilian Army. In 2019, after previous agreements with the Army, the flight availability rate of the four Army S-70A (UH-60L equivalent) Black Hawk aircraft reached a 100 percent readiness.
