As Mexico’s military needs have escalated the
Mexican government is signing contracts on a
number of fronts, from full systems, to UAVs and
aerostats, to to medium helicopters.
More equipment is on the way, via Mexico’s own
purchases and the USA’s Merida initiative.
One of the most important acquisition programs is
EADS-CASA’s popular CN-235 MPA maritime
patrol aircraft which currently serves, among others,
with Spain and Columbia.
The Persuader is important to Mexico’s current
Cartel War.
The estimated cost for three aircraft is $60 million plus
spare and repair parts,support equipment, personnel
training as well as training equipment.
Further more, Mexico and Sikorsky Aircraft Corp.
signed lately a contract for three UH-60M aircraft for
the Mexican Navy and three auxiliary power units inlet
barrier filter kits for the UH-60M.
The contract value is $35,252,210 and the estimated delivery
date is the end of 2012.
