Triumph Group, Inc. (NYSE:TGI) recently announced that the
Defense Logistics Agency has awarded Triumph Integrated Systems
with a five-year contract for indefinite quantity and delivery of
Enhanced Digital Electronic Control Units (EDECUs) for use in the
U.S. Army’s UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache fleet. The contract,
valued at more than $77 million, will enable the Army to complete
the upgrade of the digital electronic control units on the highly
utilized fleets providing the additional engine control capability
of the enhanced units. Triumph’s Engine & Control business in
West Hartford, Connecticut will manufacture approximately 3,100
EDECUs to satisfy the contract.
Triumph was originally awarded the logistics contract to replace
the digital electronic control units in 2013 following its
participation in the Army’s Universal Control Technology Program.
In the program, Triumph developed an enhanced single part number,
common controller with the processing power to handle multiple
application software packages, address electronics obsolescence
issues, provide a work station-like platform for improved
monitoring of engine health and reduce engine control system
recurring and logistics costs. Since then Triumph has provided more
than 6,000 EDECUs for Apache, Black Hawk, Jayhawk and Seahawk
aircraft in the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard
fleet.
The universal control system architecture is part of Triumph’s
portfolio of full authority digital electronic engine control
(FADEC) systems that are installed on several military and
commercial helicopter engines.
“We are pleased that the Defense Logistics Agency has extended
the agreement with us and that our EDECU will be installed on the
U.S. Army’s entire fleet of Black Hawk and Apache helicopters,”
said Frank Dubey, executive vice president of Triumph Integrated
Systems. “Long-term contracts drive predictable profitability for
our business. To have our contract extended demonstrates our
ability to deliver on our customer commitments and provide the
solutions and services required to keep even the most demanding
fleets operating optimally.”
