Sept. 1 (UPI) -- Sikorsky Aircraft has received a
$304 million modification to an existing contract for the production of two
CH-53K helicopters for the U.S. Navy.
The modification includes engineering and technical
support, spare parts and other services. The work will be performed in
Stratford, Conn., and is expected to be completed by December 2021.
The CH-53K King Stallion is a heavy-lift helicopter that
has been in service for more than 50 years with the U.S. Marine
Corps.
It is designed for moving cargo and troops from
amphibious assault ships and other platforms to shore. It is suitable for
casualty evacuation, humanitarian aid and other utility tasks.
