Lockheed Martin‘s Sikorsky subsidiary has received a potential $38.7 million order to supply tail rotor blades for the U.S. Navy‘s fleet of CH/MH-53E helicopters.
Sikorsky is scheduled to complete deliveries under the firm-fixed-price, sole-source order by Sept. 30, 2023, the Defense Department said Wednesday.
The Defense Logistics Agency‘s aviation unit is the contracting activity.
MH-53E is based on the CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter and built to operate from aircraft carriers and other warships to aid airborne mine countermeasures, vertical shipboard delivery and assault support missions.
