Sikorsky Aircraft has selected Goodrich to provide rescue hoist systems for the H-92 Canadian Maritime Helicopter Project.
The Canadian government will use the H-92 maritime helicopters for surveillance, search and rescue, the monitoring of enemy submarines, and the transportation of cargo and personnel.
