Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The Coast Guard committed $14.3 million for 13 GE T700 engines on Sept. 8, a discrete sustainment purchase that keeps MH‑60 availability for search-and-rescue and maritime missions.
  • The award follows recent congressional funding increases for Coast Guard acquisitions and continues a stream of MH‑60 sustainment work, including recent avionics contracts for the MH‑60T fleet (see the law allocating $25 billion for US Coast Guard) and ongoing MH‑60 component support (see recent MH‑60 avionics sustainment work).
  • The buy sits alongside international and service-level MH‑60 activity that affects production and supply chains for Sikorsky/Lockheed platforms (see other MH‑60 acquisition programmes).
