Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, has received an $80 million contract to upgrade the avionics system of U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopters for the H-60M MOSA Avionics Architecture Solution program.
The upgrade will feature Mosarc, Collins' family of Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA)-compliant products, and will streamline technology integration for a complex and rapidly evolving battlefield, enabling soldiers to quickly update avionics technology in real-time.
Mosarc is engineered to make upgrades more efficient and ultimately reduce sustainment costs over the helicopter's life cycle. By incorporating Mosarc into Black Hawks, Collins Aerospace aims to create commonality across the Army's current and future fleet of manned and unmanned aircraft.
Work on this contract will be conducted in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Huntsville, Alabama.
