• The US Army awarded Sikorsky a $234.5 million contract modification for 16 UH-60M Black Hawks.
• The contract takes the total to $356.3 million and extends the completion date to June 2028.
• The order sustains Sikorsky and its supplier base without interruption.
• The UH-60M is the current-generation Black Hawk with advanced features.

This contract modification may indicate the Army's continued reliance on the Black Hawk, despite ongoing replacement program developments. The award suggests a focus on maintaining production lines and supplier bases, which could have long-term implications for the Army's rotorcraft capabilities and the broader defense industry.
