GVH Aerospace Press Release | September 29, 2020

Estimated reading time 1 minute, 42 seconds.

GVH Aerospace’s sea tray product has been selected by Leonardo for the AW101 Norwegian All Weather Search-and-Rescue Helicopter (NAWSARH). The sea tray will be used by the Norwegian Air Force for the helicopter’s search-and-rescue and airborne ambulance role.

The GVH Aerospace sea tray product is a highly customizable and padded water proof barrier designed to contain and drain water from the aircraft cabin during over-water hoisting operations.

The product is used around the world for search-and-rescue operations and military use with clients including the Korean Coast Guard for the KCG-1, the Australian Defence Force’s fleet of H135 helicopters, the French Navy and for this contract, the Norwegian Ministry of Justice and Public Security.

Its flexible design enables it to be installed and removed in flight and packed away for storage onboard, or be installed prior to flight and fitted around cabin equipment and seats.

“We are pleased to partner with Leonardo’s team to supply our sea tray product as part of the NAWSARH program,” said Gareth Dyer, chief executive officer, GVH Aerospace. “The sea tray will provide them with an advantage to respond to the challenges they face within the vital search-and-rescue role they play.”

The sea tray is installed and removed in minutes without the need for tools and can be adapted to different helicopter cabin configurations and operator requirements. Designed to withstand the rigours of search-and-rescue operations and military use, the GVH Aerospace sea tray is currently being used on helicopter types including Leonardo AW139, AS365, H135, AS332/H225 Super Puma, KCG-1, S-92, and S-76.
