By GlobalDataAll UH-60M units have been equipped with a TBOS training device and are currently operational at army posts across the US including Fort Rucker, Fort Campbell and Fort Bragg.
The system was also used by the 1st Battalion, 147th Aviation Regiment of the Wisconsin Army National Guard for mobilisation training prior to deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom last year.
Rockwell has also supplied the T-BOS to Bahrain and the UAE under a foreign military sale from the US Army; deliveries under the $35m contract are scheduled to be completed by September 2015.
