Challenge
Leonardo Helicopter, the OEM of the AW101 and Lynx helicopters, required a trusted partner to provide bespoke sea tray products that met the operational requirements of individual helicopter operators.
Design and production of search and rescue products require an intimate understanding of search and rescue operations and helicopter safety equipment, and the ability to translate the operational understanding into a product that can be relied upon by military aviators operating in the harshest environment.
Solution
Leonardo Helicopter selected Nova Systems to design and supply sea tray products for its AW101 and Lynx helicopters. We combined operational and engineering expertise to customise the sea tray product for each operator’s unique requirements, working with Leonardo to coalesce the customer requirements into the final product.
Our products are currently in service with the Norwegian Air Force AW101, the Portuguese Navy Lynx, and will enter into service with the Royal Navy AW101 Crowsnest. Our sea tray product is also in service with other military and civil operators including the French Navy and the Australian Defence Force.
