The Army awarded Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. $44 million in a firm-fixed-price contract to produce stabilator amplifiers. These are devices that increase the effects of aircraft stabilators; combined elevators and stabilizers fit onto the tail (see image). Work will extend over the next three an a half years in Sikorsky’s Stratford, CT manufactories. The U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command, out of Fort Monmouth, NJ awarded the contract (W15P7T-05-C-F012).
