Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B), a worldwide designer, manufacturer and systems integrator of high-performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems today announced that the Portuguese Army, through the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) Aviation Support Office, has selected Sahar Group, LLC to deliver a modernized UH-60L Black Hawk fleet featuring Moog’s Genesys Avionics Suite™ and 4-axis autopilot system (GRC™ 4000). This selection expands Moog's rotorcraft modernization solutions across the global Black Hawk fleet. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in Fall 2026 and continue through 2028.

The Genesys Avionics Suite brings a modern, mission-focused cockpit to the Black Hawk, boosting operational effectiveness across tactical, transport and search-and-rescue missions. Key benefits include:

Increased mission capabilities and redundancy including advanced situational awareness with Synthetic Vision, Hover-Hold, Helicopter Terrain Awareness & Warning System (HTAWS), TCAS traffic awareness, and ADS-B / FIS-B weather overlays.

Reduced obsolescence and sustainment costs through modern, supportable electronics including replacement of the unreliable legacy gyros, improving dispatch reliability, reducing cost of ownership, and extending fleet life.

Modernized operational and tactical capabilities enabled by integrated navigation, communications, and flight-management systems.

Reduced pilot workload and improved safety with an IFR-approved 4-axis autopilot and full engine indicating and crew alerting system integration.

Moog’s solution integrates proven mission-critical components designed for operational use and rapid installation including smart displays and vehicle management systems.
