ST. LOUIS – Sikorsky Aircraft awarded LaBarge a $1.8 million add-on contract to produce electronics assemblies for various models of UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.
 
Production on the contract has begun at LaBarge's Huntsville, AL, facility and is expected to continue through July 2010.
 
LaBarge has supported the program since 2005.
 
The assemblies support the inlet barrier filtration system, which extends the life of the Black Hawk engine.
