The Sikorsky Black Hawk is the primary medium-lift helicopter for the U.S. Army. They perform a wide range of missions that encompass Air Assault, MEDEVAC, CSAR, Command and Control, and VIP transport. The newest version of the Army’s premier combat utility helicopter, the UH-60M, ensures compatibility with the U.S. Army’s Future Force. ACE is proud to manufacture several body panels, stiffeners and equipment covers for these hard-fighting military vehicles.

 

These formed covers protect vital equipment and instruments. They are shaped on our drop hammers to a precise thickness and shape, trimmed, assembled and finished – all at one facility.
