Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions has been awarded a $7.7 million fixed-price indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract by Tyonek Aircraft Overhaul, a subsidiary of Tyonek Services Group and Tyonek Native Corp. The agreement covers a variant of Curtiss-Wright’s Fortress cockpit voice and flight data recorder (CVR/FDR) with a MIL-STD-1553 data communications interface.
The recorders will be used on the U.S. Coast Guard’s MH-65E Dolphin and MH-60T Jayhawk helicopters. According to Curtiss-Wright, the contract includes a one-year base period and a four-year option period.
“We are pleased to have been selected by Tyonek Aircraft Overhaul to supply our industry-leading Fortress CVR/FDR in support of the important work undertaken by the U.S. Coast Guard helicopter fleet,” said Brian Perry, senior v-p and general manager at Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions. “This IDIQ contract represents the continued endorsement of the reliability and performance of our flight recorder technology to ensure flight safety in all domains.”
Originally developed for military airplanes and rotorcraft platforms, the Fortress recorder is designed to support evolving data acquisition requirements.
