Unison has been awarded a contract by Agusta Aerospace for the design and development of two electrical wiring harnesses for Europe’s new NH90 helicopters.

The Agusta contract includes two Unison harnesses, one for each engine.

“Unison has extensive expertise with the NH90 engine,” said Dan Warchol, Unison’s harness product line manager. “This knowledge will be beneficial as we work the interface connection with Agusta.”

The NH90 is a twin-engine, multi-role helicopter developed to meet the requirements in the area of naval and tactical transport operations. The Italian military will begin accepting delivery of the helicopters in 2004.
