Orolia will continue to supply its emergency locator transmitter (ELT) beacons to Airbus Helicopters under a wide-ranging 20-year agreement announced Feb. 7.

Under the deal, Orolia (Stand F30) will continue supply its Integra ELT, which—unlike most other ELTs—can use an internal GPS and backup antennas to ensure communications with the Cospas-Sarsat global satellite-based search-and-rescue system. Most Airbus helicopters in service have an Integra installed. 

The extension covers all civil and military helicopters made by the European manufacturer. It also includes "complete product support to the global network of Airbus Helicopters service centers," Orolia said.
