CHARLOTTE, N.C., Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- At next week's

Goodrich (booth 4410) will display its HUMS (health and usage

business, which use a unique attachment method offering high
reliability power transmission and affordability.
Also on display is the Goodrich TASE family of high performance,

joystick steering for operator ease of use and simple camera

rafts for 60 years.
Advanced safety and rescue systems on display will include
