The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has awarded a contract to Acron Aviation for supply of ESIS GH-4001 electronic standby instrument systems for USCG Sikorsky MH-60T Jayhawk helicopters. Running through May 2026, the contract has four option years through May 2030.
Acron’s standby instruments were manufactured by L3Harris Commercial Aviation Solutions, which was acquired by TJC LP in March and then renamed Acron Aviation.
The ESIS GH-4001 can display rotor speed and vertical speed tapes, and software updates and preferred presentation of flight data can be done in the field. Built to military qualification standards, the standby instrument integrates with existing magnetometers and is configurable for single- and two-pilot aircraft and “provides pilots with essential flight data in a compact, durable format, enhancing operational safety and situational awareness in the most challenging conditions,” according to Acron Aviation.
“This award underscores our commitment to continue delivering reliable, mission-ready avionics solutions to the United States Coast Guard,” said Andy Herder, v-p and general manager for displays, navigation, and satcom. “The ESIS GH-4001 is engineered for precision and resilience in demanding operational environments, making it a trusted standby display for critical missions.”
