GPMS International signed an expanded distribution agreement for its Foresight MX health and usage monitoring system (HUMS) with Bell Textron. The company also delivered Foresight MX HUMS to PJ Helicopters for its UH-60 Utility Hawk and Bell 407 helicopters.

PJ Helicopters is installing the HUMS in all of its UH-60s and expanding monitoring of its Bell 407 fleet. A supplemental type certificate for Foresight MX installation on the CH-47D Chinook is expected soon, and PJ plans to implement this as well.
