Talks with European aerospace firms have begun as Sikorsky looks to establish a locally sourced production line alongside its Asian X2 variant work.
Team DEFIANT has selected a derivative of Honeywell's GTCP 36-150 auxiliary power units series, as well as its main engine generator and APU generator. Honeywell was already onboard with the main engine.
Collins Aerospace will supply the DEFIANT X with armoured pilot, cabin crew and troop seats. And its Perigon flight control computer will tackle the helicopter's utility management, prognostic health and autonomy.
A long-standing supplier of the flight controls and hydraulic power systems for the Army's Black Hawk and Apache helicopters, Parker Aerospace will now be part of the DEFIANT X collaborative team.
The Defiant X flies twice as far and fast as the venerable Black Hawk helicopter it is designed to replace, and is currently undergoing testing in a digital combat environment. The Army's contract award is expected this year.
