Israel
Aerospace Industries' Lahav division has received a follow-on contract to
continue an avionics upgrade on the Indian armed forces' Hindustan Aeronautics
Dhruv advanced light helicopters.
An initial award covered work on 50 of the
twin-engined rotorcraft, with the latest deal concerning a further 150
examples. Work is already under way.
Benjamin Cohen, vice-president and general manager
of the Lahav division, says the follow-on contract includes Dhruvs that are used
for both land-based and maritime missions.
Cohen says modification kits are produced in Israel,
before being shipped to India. "The upgrade kits are made according to the
mission of the helicopter," he notes.
Elements of the enhancement package include installing
a full glass cockpit with a moving map display. These features are part of an
integrated architecture display system, which Lahav says is aimed at optimising
the operational performance of the helicopter and its pilots.
