“This sources sought synopsis is being used to conduct
market research and identify parties with the necessary industry technologies
and resources,” the Army said.
The Light Helicopter Product Office (LHPdO) is designated as
the product manager for the U.S. Army’s EC-145/BK117 D3 aircraft and would be
the recipient/customer of the products sought in addition to possible
procurements from other government agencies.
The H145 (formerly Eurocopter EC145) is a
twin-engine light utility helicopter developed and manufactured
by Airbus Helicopters. Originally designated as the BK 117, the H145
is based upon the MBB/Kawasaki BK 117 C1.
The U.S. Army selected the helicopter for its light utility helicopter program in 2006. It is also in Army service under the name UH-72A Lakota.
