16 -- H-60 COMMON COCKPIT STUDY SOL N00019-96-G-0023 POC Kathy Mattson, Air-2.3.2.4, (301) 757-5255 E-MAIL: mattsonk.jfk@navair.navy.mil, mattsonk.jfk@navair.navy.mil. The Naval Air Systems Command intends to negotiate an order with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, North Main Street, Stratford, CT 06601 for a study to support the definition and integration of an H-60 common cockpit into a CH-60 aircraft. Sikorsky is the developer and sole manufacturer of the Army UH-60 and the Navy SH-60 and was the only source capable of performing the CH-60 vertical replenishment demonstration which was awarded on 2 April 1997. This study will include the evaluation of flight avionics systems, instrument panels, component layout and installation of an H-60 common cockpit into the CH-60 aircraft. Sikorsky is the only source with the manufacturing and engineering expertise and the technical data required to perform this effort on the CH-60 series helicopter. See Note 22. (0265)
