The U.S. Army has awarded Lockheed Martin subsidiary Sikorsky a $93.8 million contract to perform technical and logistics services for H-60 weapon systems.

The H-60 rotary-wing aircraft family encompasses a variety of helicopters including the UH-60 Black Hawk. Lockheed Martin markets the helicopter as a versatile platform capable of serving assault and transport roles. The vehicle has been utilized in military and humanitarian operations.

Under the contract, Sikorsky will support the aircraft's combat capability by providing engineering services in addition to other weapon system supplies. Work will be performed at the company's facility in Corpus Christi, Texas.

The U.S. Department of Defense estimates the work to be completed on Nov. 30, 2017.
