Elbit Systems has won a $32 million contract to supply 76 helmet display tracker systems (HDTS) to support Navy PMA-299 Multi-Mission helicopter (MH-60S).
The deal includes provision of major assemblies, provision ordering item line items, engineering services and support equipment, Pentagon said in a release Wednesday.
Future 76 helmet display tracker systems procurements are expected to support Naval Air Systems Command PMA-299 and Foreign Military Sales requirements, which have been deployed on MH-60S Knighthawk (Seahawk) multi-mission aircraft to facilitate and enable effective tracking for the pilot and co-pilot.
Work is expected to be completed by June 2021.
The HDTS provides situational awareness and targeting enhancements via pilot/co-pilot line-of-sight capability; continuously computed impact point for the 20mm automatic gun helicopter armament subsystem; 2.75-inch unguided rockets (LAU-61C/A); and precision guided rockets (digital rocket launcher DRL, LAU-61G/A)).
