Located in Northville, Michigan, FMC was created to provide you, the customer, a strategic resource that understands your mission. FMC is comprised of U.S. Army Aviation Veterans who know your challenges, and the OPTEMPO you are expected to execute.

Our objective is to provide and support A-L Model Blackhawk Helicopters globally where permitted by the U.S. State Department. FMC has formed partnerships with fifteen U.S. companies, as well as government entities, to provide you with a total solution in purchasing and sustaining A-L Model Blackhawk Helicopters.

Price, platform support, and sustainment are some of the main drivers that discourage the purchase of the Blackhawk and sent potential customers looking for an alternative. The FMC program removes these barriers and opens the door to purchase an exceptional helicopter with mission-oriented modifications and a sustainment program at a fraction of the cost of a new Blackhawk.

FMC will impress customers with our ability to support all flight sustainment needs after taking ownership of their aircraft. Whether transitioning from another platform to the Blackhawk or simply adding the Blackhawk to your current fleet, FMC will provide a tailored solution.

Thank you for your interest in FMC. The following pages detail available aircraft configurations and offered modifications followed by some key points to factor into your purchase.

The FMC team can support you for the life of your aircraft. In addition to receiving a Blackhawk configured to meet your needs, you receive the support of these FMC programs to sustain the aircraft and maintain your readiness:

The first step in defining your Blackhawk helicopter is identifying which Air Worthiness Authority you will be operating under.

The Blackhawk helicopters provided by FMC Solutions were maintained under the U.S. Army’s Airworthiness Authority. Your country or federal authority may accept the transition from the U.S. Army Air Worthiness Authority, or require the aircraft to transition to the FAA Authority prior to delivery. FMC will facilitate this transition.

A restricted Type Certificate (TC) can be applied for along with Supplemental Type Certificates (STC) for each modification. The certifications are applied for and approved by the FAA individually.

FMC offers a variety of modifications to tailor your Blackhawk for every aspect of your mission.

The FMC team can provide weaponized systems that are flexible in application.

The primary factors to consider are the reliability of the equipment and supportability. The weapon systems provided by FMC are proven reliable and maintainable. The combination of a detailed design, use of the best materials, and hands-on manufacturing result in an impressive Fully Mission Capable availability.

Crew Chief window and door systems are available in both 7.62 and .50 Cal. Our soft mount system relieves stress on the airframe and provides the following benefits:

High firing rates for each system

Excellent balance allows for accurate firing

Low weight impact to the aircraft

Both mechanical systems and electronic systems are available.

Pod systems are available for:

Fixed point machine guns in .50 Cal. Rocket launchers (2.75-70 mm rockets)

Window-Mount Mini Guns

Cabin Mount .50 Cal

The next step in defining your Blackhawk helicopter is identifying whether the helicopter will have a military or commercial application.

For military applications, FMC can apply a paint color and design that matches your current military aircraft profile or retain the original paint color.

The original aircraft paint, Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC), is a two-component polyurethane paint (MIL-C-46168) that has been used as a finishing coat on military combat equipment since 1985.

Our design team will create a digital design based on your sketch or construct a digital design with you. Once a design is customer approved, it will be released for painting.

At FMC Solutions, we know that keeping your aircraft flying is the top priority. Downtime must be minimized. That is why we offer a complete support system from tip-to-tail.

An aircraft’s extended downtime is frequently due to Tech Supply. Our team of Blackhawk Tech Supply veterans will ensure your repairable LRUs and consumable piece parts are managed to the minimum/maximum rate that meets your flight schedule and mission profile. We do not have the mindset of a commercial entity—we are led and operate as a military support battalion. We understand the mission and we know what spares need to be stocked to maintain an FMC status.
