Programmes and Requirements

Afghanistan
US Army Security Assistance Command has delivered a further two former US Army UH-60As to the Afghan Air Force (AAF) in 2019, after
completion of a major refurbish.
The contractor intends to complete and deliver all 53 of the initial batch by the end of 2019. The latest two aircraft bring total deliveries
to date to 36, with plans to ultimately transfer 159 UH-60As to the AAF.
Science and Engineering Services (SES) is continuing to upgrade former US Army Sikorsky UH-60As for Afghan Air Force (AAF) service.
MD Helicopters (MDH) announced on 10th September 2018 that it had delivered the first five of a new enhanced version of the MD530F Cayuse Warrior to the
Afghan Air Force (AAF). All five were delivered to Kandahar on 8th August 2018. The remaining 25 helicopters in the contract are due to be delivered by September
2019.
Albania
Albania is to receive three second hand UH-60 helicopters from the US, the country’s defence minister, Olta Xhacka, announced on 8th
April 2019.
Argentina
Four Bell 412EP helicopters acquired for the Fuerza Aérea Argentina (FAA, Argentine Air Force) arrived at Ezeiza International Airport on
29th January 2019.
The Ejército Argentino (EA, Argentine Army) has returned Bell 212 serial AE-450 (c/n 30767) to service after it was converted into a troop
transport.
The Argentinian Government has signed a $2.5m contract with the state-owned Fàbrica Argentina de Aviones (FAdeA) company to put
into service ten of the 20 Agusta-Bell AB206 helicopters purchased from the Italian government and received in January last year.
Five of the helicopters will be for the Comando de Aviación de Ejército (CAE, Argentine Army Aviation Command). The other five will go to the Gendarmeria Nacional
Argentina (GNA) without modernisation. Plans call for eight to be delivered in 2019 (four for each force) and the remainder in 2020.
Australia
The Australian Defence Force’s Joint Helicopter School began training at HMAS Albatross, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) announced on
17th January 2019.
Airbus has confirmed it is offering the H145M to meet a requirement for an armed helicopter to support the Australian Special Forces.
The company has responded to a request for information to a request for information for a four-tonne-class, rapidly deployable, multi-
role rotorcraft.
Boeing has also entered the running for Australia’s Land 2097 Phase 4 requirement for a Special Mission helicopter, with its AH-6i Little Bird. The company is
awaiting a formal request from the Australian government covering four special operations rotorcraft for rapid forward deployment aboard a C-17A, to be fielded
from around 2025.
Australia released a request for information (RFI) for a new special operations forces (SOF) helicopter in late September 2018. It calls for a fleet of light
reconnaissance and attack helicopters optimised for operating in dense urban environments.
The aircraft is required to provide air-mobility support for SOF missions from around 2023, subject to funding approval.
Belgium
The Belgian Air Component has grounded three of its four NH-90 NATO Frigate Helicopters (NFH) due to continuing problems with the
type, one of which reportedly relates to shortfalls in the performance and reliability of the radar system.
It is expected that shortcomings with the Belgian NFHs will be resolved by industry within around 18 months from January 2018.
Brazil
The Brazilian Army Aviation Strategic Programme (Prg EE Av Ex), implemented in 2017, will continue until 2039. The programme
involves the potential acquisition of attack and medium-sized multirole helicopters from 2021.
Canada
Leonardo will provide a mid-life upgrade and fleet augmentation to the Royal Canadian Air Force’s (RCAF’s) fleet of CH-149 Search and
Rescue (SAR) helicopters.
The Cormorant Mid-Life Upgrade Program (CMLU) will extend the service life of the aircraft to at least 2040. At the same time, the
current fleet of 14 CH-149s will be increased by up to seven additional aircraft.
Chile
Sikorsky delivered the final three MH-60M (S-70i) Black Hawk helicopters to the Fuerza Aérea de Chile (FACh, Chilean Air Force) in
October 2018.
The Black Hawks join three previously delivered MH-60Ms which arrived at the base on 23rd July 2018. The new arrivals complete the
order for six helicopters and bring the FACh Black Hawk fleet to seven, as a single S-70A -39 from an earlier order is also in service.
China
A Chinese state television report on 2nd January 2019 showed that the Changhe Aircraft Industries Group Z-8G transport helicopter
appears to have finally entered People’s Liberation Army Aviation Corps service, after three years of testing.
In July 2019, pictures emerged of three Type 075 Landing Helicopter Docks (LHDs) being built. These will be able to carry 30 helicopters
each, enabling the PLAN to commit to amphibious combat operations.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica’s Servicio de Vigilancia Aérea (SVA, Air Surveillance Service), part of the Ministerio de Seguridad Pública, took delivery of four
Bell UH-1 helicopters donated by the US government in March 2019.
Croatia
It’s been officially confirmed that the US will donate two new UH-60M helicopters to Croatia. The pair of Black Hawks are expected to
arrive in Croatia in 2020.
Czech Republic
The US State Department has approved the sale of four AH-1Z or 12 UH-60M helicopters to the Czech Republic.
The proposed deals are valued at $205m and $800m, respectively, and would replace the current Mi-24V/35 fleet. If selected, the AH-1Z
attack helicopter would likely be acquired alongside UH-1Ys for utility transport.
United Arab Emirates

The Dubai Air Wing based at Dubai International Airport will be augmented by at least one Leonardo AW139 – a new type of helicopter
for the service. It will operate alongside an existing rotary fleet comprising two A109K2s, two AB412EPs and a single AB412HP.
Ecuador
The Aviación del Ejército Ecuatoriano (Ecuadorian Army Aviation) has signed an agreement with Seguros Sucre and Airbus Helicopters to
receive two AS350B3 Ėcureuil helicopters.
These will replace a AS550C3 Fennec that crashed in Pastaza in November 2015.
A Leonardo AW119Ke Koala Mk.II was delivered to the Fuerza Aérea Ecuatoriana (FAE, Ecuadorian Air Force) in March 2019, becoming the
first of the type in FAE service.
It is the first of four AW119s being acquired by the FAE. All will be assigned to Ala de Combate 22 at Guayaquil and operated by the
wing’s Escuadrón de Combate 2212, which already flies Bell 206B-3 JetRangers and TH-57 Sea Rangers.
Egypt
Leonardo Helicopters has reportedly secured an Egyptian order to supply round 20 AW149 battlefield helicopters, selected in preference
to the NH90. The nine-tonne rotorcraft will be operated on behalf of the Egyptian Navy.
France
The French army has begun early definition work with Airbus Helicopters on the H160Ms it will obtain as part of a tri-service procurement.
In March 2017, Paris selected the developmental H160M to form the basis of its helicopter interamées léger (HIL) programme, splitting
160-190 rotorcraft between the air force, army and navy to replace a sizeable fleet of aged types. Deliveries had been due to start in 2024,
but was likely to be pushed back when France published its defence spending plan late in 2018.
HIL will be the final part of a modernisation effort for the French army that will see it operating a 300-strong fleet of new-generation
helicopters – comprising the H160M, Tiger and NH Industries NH90 – by 2024.
The service’s Tiger fleet also is to undergo a Mk III upgrade in the mid-2020s.
France’s Direction générale de l’armement (DGA), the government defence procurement agency, has launched studies on two new rotorcraft variants: the Tigre Mk3
attack helicopter and a special operations forces (SOF) version of the NH90.
France’s 2019-25 military funding programme plans for ten SOF versions of the NH90 Tactical Transport Helicopter (TTH), six of which will be delivered by 2025.
Germany
With the CH-53 modernisation complete, the German Ministry of Defence is now looking to replace the fleet with a new type from 2020
to 2025, with either the Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion or Boeing CH-47F Chinook to be selected. A contract award was expected in
2018, with deliveries expected to start in 2022; the contract has not been awarded yet.
A retrofitted and newly repainted AS532U2 Cougar II was redelivered to the 3. Staffel (3rd Squadron) of the Luftwaffe’s Flugbereitschaft
des Bundesministeriums der Verteidigung (FBS BMVg, Flight Service of the German Ministry of Defence) in April 2019.
The remaining pair will undergo a similar refurbishment.
Greece
The Government of Greece requested to buy up to seven MH-60R Multi-Mission Helicopters from the U.S. FMS service in July 2019. The
platforms would enable their military to perform anti-surface and anti-submarine warfare missions.
The first of 70 OH-58Ds for the Elliniko Aeroporia Stratou (EAS, Hellenic Army Aviation) have received the service’s markings ahead of
initial handover, in May 2019.
Thirty-six helicopters, in full operational condition, will serve on the islands of the Aegean Sea, while 24 – lacking certain avionics,
navigation and communication equipment – will be used for training. The remaining ten will be used for spare parts.
Iceland
Airbus Helicopters has announced service entry of two Airbus H225 heavy search and rescue (SAR) helicopters as part of the renewal of
the Landhelgisgaeslan or Icelandic Coast Guard (ICG) fleet.
The ICG plans to purchase permanent replacements for all three AS332L1s.
India
The Indian Air Force formally inducted its first CH-47F(I) helicopters during a ceremony at Air Force Station Chandigarh on 25th March
2019. The initial four aircraft for No 126 Helicopter Flight ‘Featherweights’ are part of an order for 15 Chinooks. The final batch is due for
delivery by next March.
Indian Air Force (IAF) personnel recently began training on both the AH-64E and CH-47F in the US in preparation for the types being
delivered for service.
The IAF has ordered 22 AH-64Es and 15 CH-47Fs. Deliveries of both types were expected to begin in 2019.
The US State Department approved the possible Foreign Military Sale to India of MH-60Bs in 2019. The 24 multi-mission helicopters are estimated to cost around
$2.6bn.
India’s Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) has approved (in 2019) the procurement of ten Ka-31 airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) helicopters for the
Indian Navy.
Indonesia
The Indonesian Defense Ministry signed a contract with state-owned aerospace company PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) for one NAS-332
C1+ Super Puma helicopter in April 2019. The contract, worth IDR237 trillion ($16.8 million), includes a training package for pilots,
technical publications, and maintenance equipment.
In January 2019, PTDI also announced the signing of contracts for eight Airbus Helicopters H225M medium-lift helicopters and nine Bell 412EPI utility helicopters for
the Indonesian Air Force (TNI-AU) and Indonesian Army (TNI-AD), respectively. According to PT DI, the deals are worth around $330 million and $183 million.
The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia-Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL) has received two more AS565MBe Panther helicopters from state-owned aeronautical
company PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI). The aircraft were received on 9th January 2018 and commissioned on the same day. Also commissioned were four AS550
Fennec helicopters destined for the Indonesian Army. Indonesia ordered 11 AS565MBe Panther helicopters in 2014 to bolster the TNI-AL’s embarked aviation and
anti-submarine warfare capabilities.
Seven Schweizer S-300C helicopters were delivered to the Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Darat (TNI AD, Indonesian Army Aviation), in January 2019 for pilot
training.

In March 2019, instructors of the Italian Army Aviation began practical training with NH90 helicopters for the Qatar Emeri Air Forces
(QEAF) pilots. The activity is included in the contract won by Leonardo to provide 28 NH90s to Qatar.
The Aeronautica Militare (AM, Italian Air Force) officially re-established the 23° Gruppo on 5th September 2018 after more than eight
years of inactivity. Former a fighter unit, the squadron has now assumed the combat search and rescue (CSAR) mission with HH-101A
CAESAR helicopters.
Japan
National media has announced that the Japanese Government intends to acquire around 20 unmanned helicopters for the Maritime Self
Defense Forces (JMSDF). A definitive helicopter model could be selected around 2022, with actual procurement starting a year later.
Japan’s Coast Guard retired the Bell 206B-3 JetRanger in March 2019. Four new Bell 505 JetRanger X helicopters began replacing the
JetRangers in the training role last year with pilot instruction starting in April 2018.
The Japan Ground Self Defense Force (JGSDF) has restarted flying of its OHG-1 Ninja scout helicopters on 1st March 2019. A five year

Serbia, in November 2018.
The Vozduhoplovna Brigada na Armijata na Republika Makedonija (Aviation Brigade of the Army of the Republic of Macedonia)
introduced a pair of Mi-24V attack helicopters and 2 Mi-8T assault transport helicopters in July 2018. The aircraft returned to service
having undergone general overhaul and life-cycle extension at the Aviakon aircraft repair plant in Konotop.
The Mi-24Vs are expected to be the last Hinds restored to service; plans to overhaul an additional four appear to have been abandoned.
Mexico
The Mexican Secretaria de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA, National Defence Secretariat) and the country’s air force (Fuerza Aérea
Mexicana, FAM) withdrew the Bell 212 from service in August 2018.
Montenegro
Two more Bell 412EPI helicopters joined the Armed Forces of Montenegro when they arrived at Golubovci on 10th September 2018.
Receipt of the two new helicopters completed the €30m contract signed on 30th January between the Montenegrin Ministry of Defence
and the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC).
Netherlands
Modernisation of the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) CH-47F fleet will begin shortly, following shipment of the first two Chinooks
to the US by sea.
The RNLAF plans to standardise on this latest configuration of the CH-47F. It currently also operates 11 older CH-47Ds, but after 20 years
of service these are becoming increasingly difficult and costly to maintain.
The first modernised CH-47F is expected to return to Defence Helicopter Command at Glize-Rijen Air Base at the end of 2020. The full
transition is scheduled for completion by mid-2020. The fleet will then comprise 20 CH-47Fs, all to the latest MYII CAAS standard.
The Netherlands has signed a letter of offer and acceptance (LOA) to modernise its fleet of 28 AH-64D Block II attack helicopters to AH-64E standard at a cost of
$1.19bn. The first Apache will undergo modernisation work in 2021 and will be reintroduced by mid-2022.
Nigeria
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has introduced a second and final Bell 412ERP into service.
Nigeria’s proposed budget document for 2018 allocates funds for the acquisition of two AW109 helicopters.
The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has received its first armed versions of the AW109 from Leonardo Helicopters.
In December 2018, the NAF Chief of Air Staff announced the service had ordered an additional six AW109s to supplement the
AW109LUHs already based at Enugu.
Four LUHs are believed to be in service after one was lost in an accident.
Norway
A fifth Luftforsvaret (Royal Norwegian Air Force, RNoAF) AW101 Srs 612 has been delivered to Norway in March 2019.
The RNoAF has a total of 16 on order and the sixth example was in flight test at Yeovil, where it had made its maiden flight in January
2019.
Pakistan
Pakistan has ordered a further five Mi-35M attack helicopters, according to the country’s army officers and Russian officials attending
November 2018’s International Defence Exhibition and Seminar (IDEAS) in Karachi. The Mi-35Ms will reportedly join four examples
previously ordered.
An additional five Enstrom 280FX Sharks were delivered to the Pakistan Army Aviation Corps in 2018.
Philippines
As of July 2019, the two Bell AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters attained from Jordan are yet to be delivered to the Philippine Government.
Pilots have already commenced training however.
The second AW159 Wildcat maritime helicopter for the Philippines is under test in the UK, wearing the temporary British military serial
ZZ550.
The Philippines has begun talks in 2019 with different manufacturers as it seeks to modernise the helicopter inventories of its armed
forces. Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has confirmed it’s entered negotiations with a view to supplying its KUH-1 Surion utility
helicopter.
Some Philippine media sources claim that the PAF has already selected the Sikorsky S-70 Black Hawk for the CUH requirement.
Reportedly, 16 Black Hawks could be acquired at a cost of $240m. As well as the S-70 and Surion, other options for CUH include the AW139 and Mi-171. The
same sources claim that Manila is also gearing up to buy new attack helicopters for the PAF. The Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) T129 ATAK multi-role combat
helicopter is reportedly the recommended candidate of the air force technical working group assigned to the project.
Poland
The Kruk project will acquire new attack helicopters. The project is still in the concept phase. No numbers or delivery dates have been
confirmed.
Leonardo has received a €380m contract to supply the Polish Ministry of National Defence with four AW101 maritime multi-role

Portugal
The Força Aèrea Portugeusa (FAP, Portugese Air Force) has confirmed the AW119 MkII Koala will succeed its Alouette III fleet. A contract
for 5 aircraft was signed in December 2017. The first 2 were due to be delivered by the end of 2018.
Currently the Alouette III’s missions include transport, flight training, coastal search and rescue (SAR), medical evacuation and
firefighting support.
Qatar
NH Industries (NHI) is hopeful that it can finally secure a firm order from Qatar in 2019 for both variants of its NH90.
Four years ago Doha signed a tentative agreement for 12 GTH troop transport examples of the 11t-class rotorcraft, plus 10 NFH maritime
helicopters.
The first of 24 AH-64E Apache Guardians for the Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF) was handed over during a formal ceremony at Boeing’s
Mesa production plant in Arizona on 14th March 2019. Deliveries are scheduled to be complete by the end of May 2020.
Signature of a letter of offer and acceptance (LOA) for 22 Block III Apaches took place in February 2014. In March that year it was officially announced that a total of
24 AH-64Es were being acquired, at a reported cost of $2.44bn.
Qatar plans to acquire another 24 AH-64E attack helicopters to join a first batch of 24, deliveries of which began at Boeing’s Mesa, Arizona, facility in March 2019.
Deliveries of the first batch are scheduled to be complete by the end of May 2020 next year.
Russia
A major upgrade of Russian Aerospace Forces Mi-35Ms is under way as a result of combat experience gained in Syrian
operations.
The modernisation includes new armour, engines and long-range electro-optics for all-weather day or night targeting. A
new electronic warfare system will be installed, along with man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS) protection equipment.
The Russian Ministry of Defence declared service entry of four Mi-24 helicopters with an unnamed army aviation brigade in the Central Military District’s Sverdlovsk
region, in March 2019.
Saudi Arabia
The US Army has issued a request in 2018 for up to 120 Boeing AH-6 light attack and reconnaissance rotorcraft for Saudi Arabia and
other undisclosed allied operators.
The Pentagon has revealed plans for 17 UH-60M helicopters to be delivered to Saudi Arabia. Eight will be supplied to the Saudi Arabian
National Guard (SANG) and nine to the Royal Saudi Land Forces Airborne Special Security Forces.
Work on the aircraft is scheduled to be completed by the end of December 2022.
They are not part of the $3.8bn US Army multi-year contract, announced in July 2018, which included 40 UH-60Ms and 75 HH-60Ms for
the SANG. Those helicopters are due to be delivered by the end of June 2022.
Sikorsky delivered the first MH-60R Seahawk to the Royal Saudi Navy (RSN) during a ceremony in Owego, New York, on 13th September 2018.
Serbia
The road to co-operation with Airbus was paved with a contract to procure nine new H145M helicopters in December 2016. These were
presented to Serbia in June 2019.
South Korea
The Republic of Korea Marine Corps (RoKMC) has received two amphibious support variants of the KUH-1 Surion twin-engine light utility
helicopter from the country’s Defense Acquisition Procurement Agency (DAPA).
Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) has begun ground-based engine trials for its prototype Light Attack Helicopter (LAH), based on the
Airbus Helicopters H155.
KAI aims to complete development of the LAH in November 2022, leading to service entry with the Republic of Korea Army (ROKA) in
2023.
The ROKA plans to acquire 214 LAH helicopters, which will replace types including the MD500MD and AH-1F.
South Korea’s Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) has issued a tender to procure a batch of 12 anti-submarine warfare helicopters for the Republic
of Korea Navy (ROKN).
Leonardo and Lockheed Martin are offering the AW159 and MH-60R, respectively.
Spain
Boeing will modernise the Spanish Army’s entire fleet of 17 CH-47D Chinook helicopters to the CH-47F model configuration. This will
involve the addition of features such as the digital automatic flight control system, common avionics architecture system and advanced
cargo handling.
The deliveries will start in 2021 and the last Chinook is expected to follow in 2025.
Taiwan
The Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) took delivery of two UH-60Ms in late December 2018.
In late 2016, the nation’s defence minister, Feng Shih-kuan, ordered the transfer of 15 UH-60Ms to the ROCAF’s Air Rescue Group to
replace 13 S-70C-1/1A helicopters at Chiai Air Base. The rest will be delivered between June and December 2019.
The Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) retired its fleet of S-70C-1 Bluehawk and S-70C-6 Super Bluehawk helicopters by 9th May 2018.
Employed in the search and rescue (SAR) and utility roles, the Taiwanese S-70s will be replaced by the UH-60M.
Tunisia
A ceremony on 14th September 2018 officially inducted three Bell 429 GlobalRangers into service with the Unité Spéciale de la Garde
Nationale (USGN), Tunisia’s elite paramilitary counter-terrorism unit.
U.K.
FLIR has been awarded a contract to provide the British Army with a nano unmanned helicopter called the Black Hornet 3 Personal
Reconnaissance System (PRS).
Initial work is under way to replace the British Army’s active fleet of 22 elderly Aérospatiale Gazelle AH1 helicopters, as the venerable
type nears retirement.
The timeline for any acquisition is driven by the out-of-service date for the Gazelle, which could be accelerated from a current target of
2025 if the type becomes more costly to support due to a shortage of spare parts.
Meanwhile, an acquisition process has begun linked to replacing part of the Royal Air Force’s Boeing CH-47 Chinook fleet.
The US has granted approval for the UK’s long-expected procurement of additional CH-47F Block II heavy-lift helicopters. The ratification covers the potential sale
of up to 16 Chinooks in an extended-range configuration and was outlined in a Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) notification on 19th October 2018.
The RAF has a requirement for additional Chinooks to replace some of the oldest examples in service, including airframes that are now almost 40 years old.
A second Fleet Air Arm Commando Helicopter Force unit has begun re-equipping with the new Merlin HC4/4A, the ‘marinised’ version of the former RAF HC3/3As
that were transferred to the Royal Navy. The helicopter was delivered to 846 Naval Air Squadron (NAS) at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton, Somerset, on 12th
March 2019.
The first unit to re-equip with this new Commando variant was 845 NAS.
A total of 25 are being converted for shipborne operations, which includes installing folding main rotors and tail rotor pylon, upgraded avionics and repainting in
maritime grey colours.
Ascent Flight Training is now fully operational with its H135 Juno HT1 and H145 Jupiter HT1 helicopters as part of the UK Military Flying Training System (MFTS)
programme.
Airbus Helicopters completed delivery of 29 Juno HT1s and three Jupiter HT1s to Ascent for the MFTS programme earlier this year.
Ascent Flight Training is now fully operational with its H135 Juno HT1 and H145 Jupiter HT1 helicopters
Royal Navy Merlin HM2 ZH831, the first to be fitted with the Crowsnest system, has begun test flying from Leonardo Helicopters’ airfield in Yeovil, Somerset.
The Crowsnest is intended to achieve initial operational capability next year as part of the navy’s future Carrier Enabled Power Projection (CEPP) capability.
Ukraine
Airbus Helicopters and the Ukrainian Ministry of Interior have signed an order for 55 helicopters. The deal, announced on 14th July
2018, features 21 repurposed H225s, ten new H145s and 24 H125s. They will be used by the Ministry of Interior for search and rescue,
public services and emergency medical service missions.
The H225 aircraft will be modified for public services and SAR missions with the first examples expected to arrive in Kiev before the end of the year.
Ukraine has amended its purchase of H145 helicopters, opting to change eight of the ten examples on order for the Ukrainian Ministry of Interior to five-bladed
variants.
Uruguay
The Uruguayan Defence Ministry will soon acquire two Agusta-Bell AB412CP helicopters formerly operated by the Italian Guardia
Costiera (Coast Guard).
A single Eurocopter AS365N2 Dauphin operated by the Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya (FAU, Uruguayan Air Force) is being upgraded in
Argentina.
U.S.A
The U.S. Department of Defense announced in August 2019 that Boeing has received a $154.8 million
contract modification to procure new-build Apache AH-64E attack helicopters. This variant of the Apache is
considered the bridging strategy to the Army’s Future Vertical Lift program.
Sikorsky has obtained military qualification for its armed S-70 Black Hawk, which adds a number of
weapons to the utility helicopter.
According to its Aviation Plan, the USMC will acquire 200 CH-53K platforms for approximately $29
billion and field them across eight active, one fleet replacement, two reserve, and two developmental/
operational test squadrons. Deliveries began in May 2018.. Due to the earlier delays, this is the same year
that initial operating capability (IOC) is expected to be declared, with full operational capability (FOC),
defined as “the transition of the last active component squadron”, not expected until FY 2029.
Backup aircraft inventory/attrition reserve deliveries will complete in FY 2031 when the programme of record reaches 200 aircraft.
Sikorsky has also earmarked Germany, Israel, and Japan as CH-53K target markets, given that they already field CH-53s.
The US Army is looking to acquire a further 35 Airbus Helicopters UH-72A Lakota training and support platforms to add to the more than 400 already delivered.
The US Army is seeking to buy up to 120 AH-6SA (Saudi Arabia) and AH-6i (International) helicopters on behalf of Saudi Arabia and other allied customers.
The SB-1 Defiant compound helicopter developed by Sikorsky and Boeing completed its maiden flight on 21st March 2019. The rotorcraft is part of the US Army’s
Joint Multi-Role – Technology Demonstrator (JMR-TD) programme.
Defiant will help develop requirements for US Army utility helicopters for service in the 2030s as part of the wider Future Vertical Lift (FVL) programme. The Army
will choose between the SB-1 and the rival Bell V-280 Valor tiltrotor in a forthcoming ‘fly-off’, selecting one design for further development.
Four companies will bid for the Army’s Future Tactical UAS programme, which will replace the RQ-7 Shadow drone. The Army announced in July 2019 that Arcturus
UAV, L3 Technologies, Textron subsidiary AAI Corp. and Martin UAV will to compete for each order of the firm-fixed-price procurement contract running through
2022.
The US Air Force has announced Boeing’s MH-139 as the winner of the UH-1N ‘Huey’ replacement helicopter competition, awarding a firm-fixed-price contract
ultimately worth $2.38bn. The USAF expects the first operational helicopter to be delivered in Fiscal Year 2021.
The USAF’s new Combat Rescue Helicopter (CRH), the HH-60W, achieved its first flight on 17th May 2019.
The USAF programme of record calls for 112 new CRH aircraft to replace existing HH-60G Pave Hawks at a total cost of around $7.1bn. Developmental testing should
last until September 2020 and initial operational test and evaluation is due to begin in fiscal year 2021.
The US Department of State Air Wing’s (DOSAW) fleet of 13 S-61T Tritons have been put up for sale after it was determined that there was no longer a mission
requirement for them.
After over 30 years of service, the HH-60H Seahawk has finally been retired from US Navy service. They will be transferred to the US Coast Guard and, as part of the
latter’s service life extension programme, they will undergo structural modifications to convert them to the MH-60T configuration before entering service as part of
the Coast Guard’s medium-range recovery helicopter fleet.
