Incorporated (HSI), a Sikorsky Aerospace Services company, has been chosen to provide a Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) program for U.S. Navy Light Util- ity Helicopters (LUH) at Patuxent River, Naval Air Station under its contract with EADS North America. Sikorsky Aero- space Services is the aftermarket business of Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp.

A modified version of the existing Army Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) program will be provided to the Navy’s LUH fleet of five UH-72A helicopters to meet the Navy’s CLS program require- ment. The CLS program for the Army provides total life-cycle support capability at a dollar per flight hour rate, and is being subcontracted to HSI by EADS North America, the prime contractor for the LUH program.

“This teaming effort demonstrates again that our industry-leading expertise in support capabilities is well recognized,” said David Adler, president of Sikorsky

The venture is the first of its

kind to work directly with the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School at Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland. It will enable the U.S. Navy to conduct test pilot training to meet the demands of multiple services. The test pilot school pilots will fly an estimated 1,000 flight hours annually. Helicopter Support, Inc. will provide comprehensive fleet sup- port which includes material pro- visioning, transportation, Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), web-based main- tenance management (HELOTRAC RL®) and web-based material manage- ment. This support platform allows for timely logistics and aircraft readiness

management. Sikorsky Aerospace Main- tenance (SAM), a business unit of Siko- rsky Aerospace Services, will provide on-site LUH/EC-145 trained and certified A&P mechanics to execute Navy CLS operations. ❚
