The Government of Denmark has requested a possible sale of 12
MH-60R Seahawk Multi-Mission Helicopters, 27 T-700 GE 401C Engines
(24 installed and 3 spares), communication equipment, support
equipment, spare and repair parts, tools and test equipment,
technical data and publications, personnel training and training
equipment, U.S. government and contractor engineering, technical,
and logistics support services, and other related elements of
logistics support. The estimated cost is $2.0 billion.
This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and
national security of the United States by helping to improve the
security of a NATO ally which has been, and continues to be, an
important force for political and economic stability in Europe.
The proposed sale of the MH-60R Seahawk helicopters will improve
Denmark's anti-submarine and surface warfare capability and provide
an improved search and rescue and anti-ship surveillance capability
and to carry out international commitments for transport,
surveillance, and search and rescue operations with the United
States and other allies. Denmark will also use these aircraft to
strengthen its homeland defense and protect critical
infrastructure. Denmark, which currently operates Augusta Westland
Lynx helicopters, will have no difficulty absorbing these
additional helicopters into its armed forces.
DSCA says the proposed sale of this equipment and support will
not alter the basic military balance in the region.
