Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., a Lockheed Martin Co., Stratford, Connecticut, is awarded a $25,594,463 cost-plus-fixed-fee modification (P00001) for definitization to an order (N0001922F1147) against a previously issued basic ordering agreement (N0001919G0029). This modification provides non-recurring engineering efforts to integrate, test, and qualify re-designed data concentrator and blade fold distributor units that will mitigate component obsolescence and outdated test equipment used for the CH-53K aircraft. Work will be performed in Torrance, California (65%); Stratford, Connecticut (31%); Fort Worth, Texas (2%); and Owego, New York (2%), and is expected to be completed in June 2023. Fiscal 2022 aircraft procurement (Navy) funds in the amount of $10,860,781 will be obligated at the time of award, none of which will expire at the end of the current fiscal year. The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, is the contracting activity.

NASHVILLE March 31, 2022 — After three years of proving its transformational flight capabilities, the Lockheed Martin Sikorsky-Boeing SB>1 DEFIANT® helicopter arrived in Nashville this week to give U.S. Army Aviators a first-hand look at this impressive aircraft at the Army Aviation Association of America’s annual summit.
...
Sikorsky’s Bill Fell and Boeing’s Ed Henderscheid piloted SB>1 DEFIANT’s momentous 700-nautical miles trip from West Palm Beach, Florida, to Nashville. This is the first time the helicopter has traveled outside of the state of Florida.
“On the trip from West Palm Beach to Nashville, DEFIANT used less than 50 percent of the engine power available and less than 50 percent of the propulsor torque,” Fell said. “There’s a lot more that this machine has to offer. This is the future of Army aviation.”
“DEFIANT behaved flawlessly. Fuel burn was at or even less than what we expected,” Henderscheid said. “This 700-nautical mile trip is the culmination of three years of hard work on this program.”
Also this week, Team DEFIANT announced the newest members of its team:
ATI, Cudahy, Wisconsin: gearbox forgings
Collins Aerospace, Windsor Locks, Connecticut: PerigonTM flight control and vehicle management computer; and Colorado Springs, Colorado: aircraft seats
Elbit Systems of America, Fort Worth, Texas: mission system computer
Parker Aerospace, Irvine, California: flight controls; and Kalamazoo, Michigan: hydraulic pumps and modules
Magnaghi Aeronautica, Medford, New York: landing gear
Marotta Controls, Boonton, New Jersey: electrical power system components
The team previously announced that Honeywell will provide its new HTS7500 turboshaft engine to power DEFIANT X.

Con suerte 2 operativos. En el AMARG hay 9 AH1Z NUEVOS que eran para Pakistan y no se formalizo la compra y los USMC ha mandado 27 al boneyard, asi que de querer, posibilidades tienen de quedarse con (sumando los 4 suyos) 40 Cobras, que no esta nada mal.
