Danish Company In Discussions For MH-60R Helicopter Support

Danish Aerotech Would Service Seahawk Helos For The Royal Danish Navy

A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed Monday between Danish Aerotech A/S and Sikorsky to discuss the possibility of establishing a maritime helicopter logistic support capability in Denmark should the Danish Government acquire MH-60R Seahawk helicopters for the Royal Danish Navy.

“The combined experience of our two companies can bring the Danish Navy high quality logistics support services to ensure mission and flight readiness for the 30-year life of the MH-60R helicopter fleet,” said Sikorsky Aerospace Services Vice President Frank DiPasquale.

Potential collaboration by the two companies comes as the Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) continues to evaluate the MH-60R helicopter for the Danish Navy’s Maritime Helicopter Replacement Program. DALO is expected to announce its final selection in 2012. “We see this agreement as a steppingstone in building up a support capability in Karup that will benefit our company by creating new jobs for decades. Collaborating with Sikorsky will offer valuable OEM expertise that will enhance the development and expansion our business,” said Jan Jorgensen, CEO of Danish Aerotech.

Sikorsky has delivered more than 100 MH-60R multi-role helicopters to the U.S. Navy since 2006. The aircrafts’ advanced sensors and communications equipment provide large area surveillance protecting U.S. Navy ships. The U.S. Navy also employs the aircraft for anti-surface warfare, search and rescue, tactical transport, medical evacuation, and ship-to-ship cargo resupply. The Royal Danish Navy is expected to employ MHRP aircraft to strengthen its national operations and carry out international commitments for transport, surveillance, and search and rescue operations with the United States and other allies.
