Blade Clamp

Blade Clamp
The Blade Clamp locks around a UH-60M Black Hawk Helicopter rotor blade to hoist it for installation or maintenance. A-M CPT’s Blade Clamp can also be retrofit for use with UH-60 A/L aircraft.

Boresight Prism Knob

Boresight Prism Knob
A-M CPT has re-engineered the Boresight Prism Knob for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle (BFV) to withstand frequent forces that were rendering it inoperable and exposing the vehicle’s flex-drive assembly to damage.

Jackshaft

Collective Jackshaft
A-M CPT designed a new Collective Jackshaft for use on CH-58 Kiowa Warrior Helicopters.  The jackshaft maintains a rigid connection between the pilot's and co-pilot's control sticks.  The new design improved situational corrosion that occurred due to galvanic reaction between the jackshaft and a friction bearing.  The new design provides lower production costs, lower maintenance costs and a corrosion-resistant part.

Drive Focus Shaft Assembly

Drive Focus Shaft Assembly
This reverse-engineering effort will provide a design for a critical part of the AFOCAL assembly on the TOW-2 Weapon System.  The new assembly is redesigned for easier manufacture and less cost.

EMRAID

EMRAID
A-M CPT provided engineering support for this design effort by supplying a mast, leveling system, power control system and surveillance equipment support structure (truss).

Flare Dispenser Bracket

Flare Dispenser
A-M CPT has designed new flare dispenser brackets to be used on the new composite tail cone of the UH-60M Black Hawk Helicopter.  Through the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as a design aid, the new design is lighter and stronger than the legacy brackets.

Flex Circuit Harness

Flex Circuit Harness
This new wire harness for the TOW-2 Weapon System onboard the Army’s armored Bradley Fighting Vehicle was developed at A-M CPT at the request of the Army. A-M CPT
engineers worked closely with Army personnel to understand the shortcomings and
failures of harnesses currently in use and to design an innovative harness with new
features and many improvements.

Cargo Hook

Fore/Aft Cargo Hook
A-M CPT's engineering solution to the Fore/Aft Cargo Hook for the CH-47 Chinook Helicopters has provided corrosion resistant parts and a much improved latch assembly performance.  Benefits include production cost reduction, stronger operational parts, and quicker production and replacement.

Mast Support Base

Mast Support Base
The Apache Mast Support Base is experiencing high rates of failure due to corrosion and damage.  This effort is focused on investigating and identifying the options for repair as well as redesign of a more robust mast base with minimal weight penalty.

Skid Shoe
Skid Shoe
A-M CPT is designing an improved heavy-duty skid shoe for the OH-58A/C/D Kiowa and TH-67 Bell Trainer helicopters.  The purpose of the skid shoe is to protect the helicopter landing gear, specifically during the rigors of training maneuvers.
 
Test Set

Test Set
A-M CPT is designing a single test set to replace three current test breakout boxes.  The test boxes to be replaced are the Oil Pressure Test Box, Auxiliary Fuel Relay Panel Breakout Box, and Auxiliary Fuel Signal Conditioner Breakout Box.

Star Plate

Tool Kit
The Tool Kit engineered by A-M CPT for the UH-60M Black Hawk Helicopter enhances maintenance efficiency and effectiveness.  The Tool Kit includes specialized wrenches and torque adaptors, spindle benders, and a Star Plate parts identification and holding device (pictured).

Tow-2 Actuator

TOW-2 Actuator
This reverse-engineering effort will provide a direct replacement for the legacy assembly for the TOW-2 Weapon System, retaining the same form factor and power usage as the former model, but upgrading the technology to provide a more reliable and advanced part.

Two Plate

Tow Plate
A-M CPT is designing a new tow plate to fit UH-60M Black Hawk aircraft.  Tow plates are used to secure the aircraft when transported by sea, air or road.  The new design will retain the form, fit and function of the legacy part, but will be fabricated of a lower-weight material to allow permanent installation on the helicopter.

Trim Tab Case

Trim Tab Adjustment Tool
This effort provides an upgrade to the Chadwick Tool Kit that will include tools to adjust trim tabs on all UH-60A/L and UH-60M model blades.
