Internationale Helicopter ontwikkelingen

[Huzaar1]

Om de Amerikanen te vriend te houden zie ik ook nog wel een deal ontstaan, aan andere kant kan dat juist een reden zijn om het niet te doen. De Duitserianen zijn helemaa klaar met de Jannen en kezen denk ik. Dat is wat meer Kapot dan wij denken.

Nog meer van die vliegende Europa rampen? Nee lijkt me niet

Tja ... (idd)..
Maar de Fransen, Belgen, Noren, Nederland vliegen met de NH90, tevens de Heer fliegers hebben de NH90, de Sea King vervanger is de NH90 (operationele invoering in 2022, 18 stuks)... dan zou het voor de hand liggen dat ze de NH90 kiezen

Anderzijds ;
Dan de MH60 en samen met de Denen
of de AW159 en samen met de Britten

German Navy Plans to Replace Fleet of 21 Westland Sea Lynx Anti-Submarine Warfare Helicopters

Naar mijn weten doen er 3 typen mee voor de vervanging, namelijk ;

- MH-60R
- NH90
- AW-159

ik ben benieuwd, denk zelf dat de NH90 de beste kaarten heeft.... 

[Harald]

Ja, de AW159.

geen onbekende voor de Duitse marine...

Met nieuwe Lynx of AW101 heli's? Ik zie beide niet echt als kanshebber.
NH90 (multirole en tevens al in gebruik) of MH60R (goedkoop) lijken me om verschillende redenen veel geschiktere opties, waar AW weinig tegen in te brengen heeft.

Bedoel je met Lynx niet de opvolger Wildcat?

German Navy Plans to Replace Fleet of 21 Westland Sea Lynx Anti-Submarine Warfare Helicopters

The German navy has begun planning to replace its fleet of 21 Westland Sea Lynx anti-submarine warfare helicopters, which are due to be retired in 2025.

U.S. weapons maker Lockheed Martin Corp and German peer Rheinmetall AG said on Thursday they will make a joint bid to supply the German navy with MH-60R Seahawk helicopters built by Lockheed's Sikorsky unit.

The two firms are also cooperating on a bid to supply new heavy-lift helicopters to the German air force, as announced in February, for a contract that could be worth around 4 billion euros ($4.6 billion).

The German navy has begun planning to replace its fleet of 21 Westland Sea Lynx anti-submarine warfare helicopters, which are due to be retired in 2025.

Europe's Airbus is also likely to bid for the contract with its NH90 Sea Lion multi-role naval helicopter, as is AgustaWestland, part of Italy's Leonardo Finmeccanica SpA, which built the current fleet of helicopters.

"With this Letter of Intent, Rheinmetall and Sikorsky are prepared to strengthen their partnership in support of the German military and look forward to offering the MH-60R Seahawk as the replacement for the current fleet of Sea Lynx helicopters," Sikorsky said in a statement.

Chilean Navy cleared to buy new light helicopters

The Chilean Navy is set to order five new light helicopters in 2019, after receiving authorisation to commit USD6 million to initiate a procurement programme that was launched in 2017 and is currently in its request for information (RFI) phase.

The new aircraft will replace Bell 206-type machines currently in service in roles including liaison, littoral search and rescue, and rotating wing flight training. They are also regularly sent on seagoing deployments onboard offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) and transport vessels.

The budget authorisation will now enable the programme to issue the request for proposals (RFP) to the potential suppliers of the new helicopters.

Ik heb het eerder gezegd en nu weer ; Die SOF NH90 zou ik toch als Nederland zijnde in de gaten houden wat de ontwikkelingen zijn.
Misschien een mooie vervanger van de Cougars tegen de tijd dat die aan de beurt zijn.
