Cobham PLC (LSE: COB) said it won a contract from the US Army worth US$110 million over its 5-year duration to supply Microclimate Cooling Systems (MCS) to helicopter crews.
The microclimate cooling garment is worn as an undergarment beneath the clothing, connected to a condenser unit which chills water and pumps it through small tubes embedded in the vest.
Work under this contract will be performed by Cobham Life Support, a strategic business unit within Cobham's Mission Systems Division, at Orchard Park, New York. The US Army Aviation and Missile Command is the contracting authority.
Cobham's MCS is a compact, lightweight, self-contained vapour compression cycle cooling system, designed for operation on helicopters and ground vehicles, and it can accommodate single or multiple users. More than 15,000 systems are employed by US military helicopters - including the AH-64 Apache, the CH-47 Chinook and the UH-60 Blackhawk – as well as US military ground vehicles including the Bradley, Stryker and M1A1 tanks.www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk
