Proposal Statement
Improved Electronic Digital Engine Control Unit (EDECU) for UH-60 and AH-64 helicopters
Recommendation Information
The EDECU is configured as a common engine control for all Blackhawk, Seahawk and Apache Helicopters. This control replaces
over 20 presently used controls for various Blackhawk and Apache helicopter models with the one common control. The EDECU is
configured with modern electronics which allows for a more reliable, safer and less costly alternative to the present controls as well
as allowing for maximum, high altitude engine power capability for the AH-64 (Afghanistan needs). Logistics savings and efficiency
are obvious from use of one common control for all applications.
The control is configured with the same “footprint” as is in the over 20 existing models it is replacing. This allows for direct
replacement on the engine. Once installed the control recognizes the type of aircraft and provides for maximum engine
performance in response to Pilot commands.
The EDECU also provides:
+ Improved reliability and safety
+ Enhanced software for low cycle fatigue engine health monitoring.
+ Expanded memory for fault detection, event recording and enhanced diagnostics.
+ Serial data bus features for future expansion for cockpit display/control.
