United Technologies Corporation is also the parent company of three key defense contractors for the United States Military: Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand.

Sikorsky

According to the Sikorsky website, "Sikorsky helicopters are used by all five branches of the United States armed forces, along with military services and commercial operators in 40 nations. Core U.S. military production programs are based on the Sikorsky H-60 aircraft: the BLACK HAWK helicopter for the U.S. Army and SEAHAWK® helicopter for the U.S. Navy. H-60 aircraft derivative aircraft perform multiple missions with other branches of the U.S. military. The CH-53E helicopter and MH-53E helicopter heavy-lift aircraft are flown by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps to transport personnel and equipment, and in anti-mine warfare missions. Sikorsky is currently developing the next-generation CH-53K helicopter for the U.S. Marines.

Sikorsky is the prime contractor in the U.S. Army's UH-60M aircraft program, which the Pentagon authorized for full rate production on June 26, 2007. The program calls for more than 1,200 of the newest BLACK HAWK aircraft during the next 25 years. In 2002, the U.S. Navy inducted the first MH-60S aircraft, the first all-new rotary wing aircraft to enter the service in a decade. The U.S. Navy's helicopter fleet will become all-Sikorsky by 2010, with the MH-60S helicopter and the MH-60R helicopter the only air platforms used." (Company Website)

Sikorsky also is the manufacturer of the long-time presidential helicopter, "Marine One." (Sikorsky, "Sikorsky Submits VH-92 Proposal for Presidential Helicopter Mission," 1/26/04)

Pratt & Whitney

From the P & W website: "Today, nearly 11,000 Pratt & Whitney military engines are in service with 27 armed forces worldwide, setting new standards for performance and dependability. With the best engine technology, world-renowned manufacturing techniques and a global service organization, Pratt & Whitney is completely focused on meeting the new demands of the 21st century.

Pratt & Whitney currently produces the F135 engine for the F-35 Lightning II. This proven fifth-generation engine was selected by the Department of Defense as the best engine for the F-35 and is more reliable and cost-effective than adding an unwanted alternate engine. Learn why the F135 is the best engine for the F-35 at f135engine.com.

Pratt & Whitney’s other military engines include the F119 for the F-22 Raptor, the F100 family that powers the F-15 and F-16, the F117 for the C-17 Globemaster III, the J52 for the EA-6B Prowler, TF30 for the F-111, and the TF33 powering AWACS, Joint STARS, B-52, and KC-135 aircraft.
