French Navy receives First NH90
Written by thomas · Filed Under DefenseMay 3, 2010
The French Navy has received the first
NFH variant of the NH90 helicopter.
The French naval aviation command will
soon undertake operational test and
evaluations.
The formal service introduction is expected
in late 2011.
The NH90 NFH helicopter weighs about
10 metric tons, and is developed to
replace European fleets of anti-submarine
and anti-ship helicopters.
It can also carry out other missions, such
as maritime rescue, Combat Search and
Rescue(CSAR), naval counter-terrorism
and anti-piracy, mine-laying, medical
evacuation, and troop and logistic transport.
Its weight, size, automatically folding rotor
blades and tail boom allow it to be embarked
on light and heavy frigates and on helicopter
carriers.
