Summary
The U.S. Department of the Army is soliciting proposals under SBIR Topic #ARM26BX04-DV009 (Solicitation 26.BX) to design and develop a modular Patient Handling System (PHS) for MEDEVAC capability on the UH-60M Black Hawk aircraft. This Direct to Phase II SBIR award offers up to $2,000,000 in funding over a 12-18 month period of performance, targeting small business concerns. The topic addresses a critical capability gap caused by reductions in the HH-60M fleet, the cancellation of the UH-60V program, and divestment of the UH-60L MEDVAC variant, with the goal of reaching the Army's end strength target of 446 MEDEVAC aircraft.
