Electronics manufacturing services (EMS) provider LaBarge, Inc. has been awarded contracts valued at approximately $3 million from Kaman Aerospace Corporation to provide cockpit wiring harnesses for the UH-60L and HH-60M models of the BLACK HAWK helicopter. The Company anticipates additional follow-on orders.
Kaman is a subcontractor to Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., a subsidiary of United Technologies Corp., on the BLACK HAWK program.
The UH-60L BLACK HAWK helicopter is a U.S. Army multi-mission combat assault helicopter that transports troops, weapons systems and supplies. The Army uses the HH-60M Medevac helicopter to provide medical evacuation of injured soldiers and assistance to civilian populations in times of crisis.
Production on the contracts is expected to begin November 2007 at LaBarge’s Joplin, Mo., facility and continue through March 2009.
