Denton, Texas - 28 February 2024

Pickering Aviation and Aveo Engineering are excited to announce a strategic partnership to advance lighting, imaging, and display of vital, mission-specific information, greatly benefiting UH-60 and S-70 operations. Pickering Aviation will provide OEM-level installation and training of Aveo's remarkable product line of lighting, sensors, cameras, and displays for the UH-60 and S-70 Black Hawk platforms. These combined, innovative products will significantly enhance the capabilities of aircrews and ground support, achieved by providing a fully integrated system that incorporates every type of lighting, multi-spectral cameras, micro-radars feeding mounted, and heads-up displays with mission-specific information germane to each operator station.

  • These initial upgrades will be direct replacements that are plug-and-play and include the same functions as the OEM equipment but provide significant performance improvements.

  • Initial lighting upgrades will focus on the landing light and the steerable searchlight. The Aveo Omega Landing Light and the Sapphire Searchlight will greatly enhance aircraft visibility and ground illumination.

  • As additional UH-60 enhancements become available and implemented, operators and aircrews will fully experience the growing list of mission benefits from the Pickering / Aveo partnership.
