Acron Aviation secures US Coast Guard contract for standby displays

Acron Aviation has been awarded a five-year indefinite delivery requirements (IDR) contract by the US Coast Guard (USCG) to supply its GH-4001 Electronic Standby Instrument System (ESIS) displays.

The contract will support the USCG’s MH-60T Jayhawk helicopter fleet. The base year runs from May 2025 to May 2026, with four optional years extending through May 2030.

“This award underscores our commitment to continue delivering reliable, mission-ready avionics solutions to the United States Coast Guard,” said Andy Herder, VP/GM Displays, Navigation and Satcom at Acron Aviation.

The GH-4001 ESIS is built to military qualification standards and designed for precision and durability in demanding operational environments. It provides essential flight data in a compact, rugged format, enhancing safety and situational awareness during critical missions.

Acron Aviation said the award reinforced its partnership with the Department of Homeland Security and its role as a trusted supplier for defense and search and rescue aviation platforms.
