LMFS will also conduct the non-recurring and recurring engineering to rectify avionics system deficiencies identified during Navy Test and Evaluation. LMFS is currently under contract with theNavy to develop the SH-60R avionics systems, to provide avionics systems for the SH-60R test article aircraft, and to provide avionics systems for the first lot of SH-60R Low Rate Initial Production aircraft. Because LMFS is the developer and integrator of all of the SH-60R avionics functionality, they are the only known source with the expertise, technical data, equipment, and experienced personnel necessary to perform the required effort.
